I hope you’ve enjoyed receiving MY Connection and getting updates on areas that
matter to you. As the year draws to a close, we can look back with thanksgiving for the
challenges overcome, the milestones achieved, and the numerous changes embraced.
Many different groups of people have enthusiastically yet tirelessly walked alongside
Metropolitan YMCA in our work – and we thank you. Our wonderful volunteers have
continuously shown tremendous commitment in reaching out to people in need through
their visits, food packing and distribution, house cleaning, mentoring of students. Many
have helped to raise funds, as well as given generously during our Flag Day.
Our child care Principals and Educators bravely rose to the challenge of accreditation
under the Singapore Pre-school Accreditation Framework (SPARK) and undertook
rigorous assessment of all aspects of operations, including staff understanding of
our vision, mission and core values, set up of physical environment, developing an
age-appropriate curriculum and establishing standard procedures. We are pleased to
announce that four of the MY World child care branches (Stevens, Bishan, Tampines
Changkat and Hougang) cleared the bar. This would not have been possible without the
dedication of the entire team and we are extremely encouraged by the commitment
to quality. Another three branches, MY World@ Ang Mo Kio, MY World@ Simei and
MY World@ Yishun are being refurbished to enable us to better serve the needs of the
children and parents.
Metropolitan YMCA is part of the oldest and largest youth organisation in the world.
The World YMCA is 169 years old. I had the privilege of celebrating with the Seoul
YMCA their 110th anniversary, and the Melbourne YMCA their 160th birthday. The
YMCA is in 119 countries, committed to empowering youth. This year over 200 youths
signed up through MYMCA for causes that they are passionate about. This was our
first Youth Symposium which revolved around theme of social responsibility, and at the
completion of their projects with various community partners, it was encouraging to
hear the teams share their reflections with growing maturity and leadership.
One final note – the internet, smart phones and tablets are now ubiquitous, and
we decided to do our part in conservation by converting MY Connection to electronic
version. This will be our last issue to be printed in hard copy. We hope you will support
our initiative to go green. You can check out our page and ‘like’ MYMCA on Facebook,
follow us on Twitter or log onto our website at www.mymca.org.sg by scanning the QR
code below. If you wish to have a link emailed to you directly or have feedback for us on
what you read or saw or heard that can help us impact the community positively, please
let us know by dropping us a line at public_affairs@mymca.org.sg .
We wish all a blessed Christmas and a wonderful new year. In this festive season
may we remember those among us who have suffered misfortune, those who are
destitute, lonely, and in need of help and good cheer, and do what we can to give them
a hand up.
God bless each of you and your families!

M
etropolitan YMCA was introduced to the work of
SPARK, the Society for the Promotion of ADHD
Research and Knowledge with President Bella Chin,
and partnered with them to conduct a unique programme
for children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) and their parents, called PACE.
WHAT IS PACE ALL ABOUT?
PACE stands for Parents and Children Empowerment©
programme developed by Glenn Lim. It is a psychoeducational and life-skills program for ADHD children
and their parents. As a one-of-a-kind programme, it is
innovative as it works with both parents and their ADHD
children simultaneously. Instead of the usual ad hoc
workshops, PACE is an intentional progressive ‘journey’
extended over 3 months. The programme employs a
coaching-type approach to equip both parents and their
children with necessary skills to build healthy parent-child
relationships and manage ADHD behavior effectively.
Sharon Rodrigues, Principal, MY World@ Pasir Ris
Student Care shares her experience:
When I was first approached to be the lead mentor for
the PACE Programme 2013, some thoughts that came to
my mind was, “Will I be able to handle 11 ADHD children at
one time?” Another question was “What characteristics
would children with ADHD exhibit?” I was not very sure
about this, but my questions were answered from “I’m
Not Naughty”, a handbook on ADHD for Parents, CareGivers and Teachers by Lee Swee Huat. It states that:
Children with ADHD exhibit the following characteristics.
• Failure to pay attention to details or make careless
mistakes in schoolwork or other activities.
• Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities.
• Difficulty listening to others without interrupting.
•Difficulty following through on instructions and
completing schoolwork, chores or duties.

A TRIBUTE TO ALL MY WORLD TEACHERS FOR THEIR
UNSTINTING DEDICATION AS WE CELEBRATED TEACHERS’ DAY IN SEPTEMBER
W
illiam Ward says… “The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains. The superior teacher
demonstrates and the great teacher inspires.” At
MY World, we hope to inspire. Our teachers are committed
to engaging children in purposeful and fun experiences to
stimulate learning in all areas of development.
Being a teacher comes with great responsibility as
you have a major role to play in the development of each
child because being a teacher means imprinting upon the
children under our care, so that they know that someone
really believed in them, cared about them and made life
fun for them. There is simply no other job in the world to
compare with it. It is hard work but rewards are beyond
calculation. Jacques Barzun says… “In teaching you
cannot see the fruit of a day’s work. It is invisible and
remains so, maybe for twenty years”.
I start my day with amazing hugs. They aren’t one
handed half hugs. They are tight embraces that say “I
love you”. The amazing thing about kids is that they love
unconditionally. They love wholeheartedly and they don’t
hold back.
With kids I can be myself without worrying about what
they think.
Managing a classroom full of young children can be
very challenging. We have to gain respect of the children
without scaring them. The best thing about teaching is
that you have the ability to make a massive difference in
the lives of children and their families.

WORKING
WITH ADHD
THROUGH
PACE
WHY TEACH?
MRS BHOOMIJA KAPUR,
Principal, MY World@Yishun
•
•
•
•
•
Difficulty organizing tasks and activities.
Dislike of tasks that require sustained mental effort.
Losing things necessary for tasks or activities.
Often distracted by external stimuli.
Forgetful in daily activities.
Then another question popped in my mind. “So what
is one tool that I can have them embrace? I am no expert
on this!” Then I thought of the Traffic Light model. In
PACE, it is used to help the children go through the
motion of “STOP, THINK and DO”. Alright, so how can
this help them? Simple…
• STOP – Stop the current activity or behavior that you
are doing.
• THINK – Think about what you want to do
• DO – Carry out the task that you have planned out
The traffic light model is but one of such tools taught
to the parents and children. Hope that they will be able to
put this, as well as the other tools taught at the sessions,
to good use.
I really thank the Lord for the chance to participate
in this programme and make a difference in the lives
of others. I have learnt a lot from this programme and
if not for the support of those involved, I don’t think I
would have been able to complete the sessions with the
participants. It was a great joy to see the children grow
and learn.
Patricia Tham, Senior Teacher at MY World@ Pasir Ris
Student Care shares her reflections:
“I felt that the programme was meaningful because
it serves to empower both parents and children with
life skills, foster closer ties and enhance parents-child
relationship. Even though the program was long and
had high expectations, I noticed all mentors especially
the batch of younger mentors were willing to commit
their time and did a wonderful job. In fact, they were the
ones whom the children loved most and look upon as
role models.”
APPRECIATING OUR TEACHERS
AT MY WORLD…
We believe in showing our appreciation for
our staff and took the opportunity to organise
a dinner for all MY World teachers and staff
to celebrate their dedication and efforts for
Teacher’s Day. It was a fun-filled evening at
the Vine Ballroom on 6 September 2013 with
games, performances and a wonderful time
of fellowship for all.
The Association also gave out iMAD
awards to our child care educators. The
“iMAD” is the acronym for “I Make a
Difference”. Teachers are selected based
on their professionalism, attitude towards
learning and whether they are able to be a
team player and role model. Our heartiest
congratulations to our five winners. Keep up
the passion and the good work!

MYMCA MANAGEMENT RETREAT
19-21 September 2013
The management team of the
Association gathered for a spiritual
retreat to acquire insights on
leadership, bond as a team and
internalise the new vision and mission
of the association. Held over three
days at the National Community
Leadership
Institute
(“NACLI”)
amidst the lush greenery at South
Buona Vista, the theme of the retreat
was “One Team, One Theme”.
Facilitated by Pastor James Chan, Mr
Glenn Lim and the trainers at NACLI,
the management team underwent
a very unique time of bonding as
obstacle courses were conquered,
new friendships were formed and
spiritual insight on leadership were
gained, leaving the management
team re-charged and refreshed for the
challenges ahead.
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
SYMPOSIUM (YES!) 27 July 2013
The day event saw over 140 youth
participants, 50 VIPs, guests, guest
speakers and partner organizations. It
was graced by Mr Lawrence Wong,
Acting Minister for Culture, Community
& Youth, as our Guest-of-Honour. The
journey of being selected to be part of
National Youth Council’s SHINE Youth
Festival and awarded $10,000 for
YOUTHsync’s very first event was truly
an experience for them.
YES! was also an event of
President’s Challenge Volunteer
Drive (PCVD) 2013. As part of this
partnership, a Social Media Workshop
on 20 July 2013 was conducted to
share with YES! participants tips on
using social media as an effective
platform for campaigning social
issues. Kenneth Yong and Joseph
Tay, co-founders of “Youth without
Borders” and current students in
SMU, gave an inspirational sharing on
their passion in building Singapore’s
society through volunteerism. They
spoke of how they started off with no
plans, experiences or organizational
structure, but just the desire to do
something for the community.
YES! focused on four social
themes: the elderly, disadvantaged
families, children with special needs,
and the environment. Our four guest
speakers shared on the needs and
challenges under each social theme.
Workshop sessions were conducted
for the students to brainstorm ideas
on their service learning project
based on feedback given by partner
organisations. YES! groups planned
and executed their projects within
the next 10 weeks after YES!.
A celebration of their achieve­
ments was held on 19 October
2013 at the Lim Kay Kok Upper
Room where a graduation ceremony
was held for participants of the
symposium in recognition of their
efforts and achievements.

What We’ve
Been Up To…
true enough, the atmosphere was
full of energy and life! In fact, on
the first day, finding the way to the
festival site was relatively easy as
trains and buses from the city was
bustling with almost 5000 people
from YMCAs around the world.
The festival was also the first
time for 200 “Change Agents” from
72 countries to come together and
meet, face-to-face after almost a
year of communicating online. The
Change Agent programme is an
initiative of the World Alliance of
YMCA to gather a group of young
people to lead and unite the YMCA
global movement into the future with
a focus on youth empowerment.
The Change Agent training sessions
were held throughout the week
during the festival, focusing on our
role in the change process within the
global YMCA, Global Citizenship and

MY MASS BIG SWEEP*@
MACPHERSON 7 August 2013
The Macpherson Boys’ Club at
circuit road was brimming with over
800 student volunteers from Saint
Andrews’ Junior College on a sunny
Wednesday morning. The tagline
was Wi-Fi: “Whoever interacts finds
inspiration”! Enthusiastic volunteers
started streaming in with mops,
brooms, cleaning detergents but
most importantly, they came with a lot
of heart. A heart to make a difference
in the lives of over 100 destitute,
elderly and needy families by cleaning
and refurbishing their homes. The
event was graced by Dr Maliki bin
Osman, Mayor of South East District
as he shared, “Many programmes
start out with a big bang, achieved a
few outcomes, and disappear. I am
glad to see that MY Big Sweep has
persisted on strongly, while retaining
the original objectives.”
MYMCA FLAG DAY, “CHANGE FOR
A GOOD CAUSE” 31 August 2013
Revolving
around
the
theme
“Change for a Good Cause”, this
year the Association managed to
mobilise almost 700 volunteers to
flood our sunny islands and call out
to the public for donations to the
less fortunate. The association also
introduced the concept of “Adopt-aTin” for those who were not able to
join us on event day.
22ND
COMBINED K2 GRADUATION
CEREMONY 18 October 2013
Revolving around the theme of
“Around the World in 60 Minutes”,
proud parents and guests were treated
to a delightful morning of dance
and performance as the audience
was ‘brought’ around the world in
60 minutes in the form of a story. A
kaleidoscope of both colours and
vibrancy ensued as our little graduates
filled the stage with their sweet voices
and genuine performances. The event
was graced by Dr Lily Wong, Executive
Director of Advent Links-SAUC and
Education Centre for Children and
Family Studies.

NEW FACES @ METRO-Y
Hi everyone,
I am glad to be part of the Metro-Y family. I used to work in the banking sector, primarily in offshore
banks holding regulatory reporting roles in the Finance Department.
During my leisure, I enjoy listening to Christian music, watching musicals and dramas and
enjoying nice cuisines with family and friends.
I hope I will be able to bring along relevant working experience and be a positive contributor to
the FAIR team and a faithful steward of God.

Hello Everyone,
I’m glad to be part of the Metro-Y Family in the Corporate Affairs team! Before joining MYMCA, I
was from the private education industry where I worked closely with youths as well with corporate
clients.
I enjoy watching television dramas mainly Hong Kong serials. You may spot me in the trains or
buses with my eyes glued to my Galaxy Note.
I look forward to many and new exciting experiences in the Metro-Y Family!!!

Hello there!
Working in the hospitality industry has always been my interest that was inspired by my previous
part time jobs which I took up over the years. The experiences acquired in peculiar my internship
in an overseas Bed & Breakfast affirmed my inspiration to having my very own in the future.
I enjoy my work in the way that I am able to collaborate with each department to better
disseminate information to guests, which is like a cross divisional training, understanding the bits
and pieces of each department. The joy of having my designs and collaterals appreciated in the
eyes of the others, hearing the different views and opinions, seeing things that amazed me, and
the process of creating them!
I love nature, traveling and planning trips for my family and myself, photography and doing little
sketching on interesting things and my all-time favourite - sleeping!
JASMINE LEE, Marketing Executive, Hospitality Services
Hello there,
I’m Claire or you can call me by my Chinese name Xiwen. I am glad to be part of the vibrant
Metro-Y team.
I believe in seizing the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to
happen next. That’s why I enjoy being in my current job as I believe that customer service means
exceeding guests’ expectations. Everyone expects a certain amount of service, some more than
others. You never know what kind of guests you would be facing every day and so each day is a
new challenge for me. I hope that our guests will treat the Metro-Y like a second home.
I enjoy reading, appreciating the arts, finding new places to explore and travelling. This is just
the tip of the iceberg and if you wish to know more, we can discuss it over lunch!
