Family Day On 3 Nov 2007

It was the first time Honey Tree organized a Family Day event for our children and their family members. It was held on a bright, sunny Saturday morning at East Coast Park on the 3rd of November 2007.

We were quite apprehensive initially as to whether the continuous torrential rain that week would dampen it. We were also quite worried and disappointed with the poor response by the parents. In fact, we had been encouraging and convincing the parents to join us and enticing the children about the many games, food, drinks, door gifts and prizes that could be won!

Anyway, no matter rain or shine, or the ‘not so overwhelming response’ by the parents, we were still all prepared and geared up to carry out our mission :

“To enhance family bonding and to have fun !”



There were five games in total like ‘Support Your Child’, ‘I am Always With You’ and ‘Daddy! Mummy! I Am Brave’, to name a few. We were astounded and surprised that most of the family members were very ‘sporting’! They willingly participated in all the games that were carried out! The most interesting game that all of us unanimously agreed was ‘I Can See You Through My Heart’. This is a game where it challenged parents to recognize their children’s voices. The parents had to locate their children while being blindfolded. The scene was indeed very heartwarming and endearing and nearly made some of us shed our tears!

We were glad that our children and their family members were having a great time mingling and chatting with other family members. We were very encouraged and overwhelmed with the support given by the children and their families who attended this Family Day event. We hope that this Family Day event had been meaningful to the families and their loved ones and that the next Family Day would be more fun, exciting and interesting than this year. See you again in 2008!
