27 students from Cebu, Philippines arrived on Tuesday, 11th May. They were here to participate in a youth - student exchange programme. Their week long programme saw the older group of students immersing themselves with the educational system at National Junior College in Singapore.  The younger group participated in the activities of The Rainbow Centre special school, toured the facilities of the Society for the Physically Disabled and helped out with preparation of logistical supplies for a missionary trip to Cambodia by Wesley Church. They were also taken on a Heritage Walking Tour / Race by the Wesley Mission Department.

They were housed at the Girl's Brigade Centre in Upper Serangoon Road. In their spare time, both groups got to enjoy some of the sights and experiences of Singapore, namely a visit to the Science Centre, Omni-Max Cinema, Sentosa, Chinatown and the Zoo. In addition, some got to experience a home stay programme courtesy of PP Wee Leong How, PP Peter Kong and President Tay Wei Lien. Their programme included a welcome and farewell dinner with a tantalizing performance by our young visitors.

18 Rotarians and their spouses, some of them parents to the children, from RC Cebu West arrived on the weekend of Sunday, 16th May and were greeted with a welcome reception at the poolside terrace of the New Otani Hotel. Our visitors were engaged in various activities hosted by RCSW which included a farewell dinner on the night of 18th May. RCSWian's present were entertained to a an uplifting farewell performance by our students before their departure on Wednesday 19th.  Some of the highlights include:

President Tay Wei Lien would like to record a vote of thanks to the Rotarians who tirelessly contributed their time and effort hosting our visitors from 11th - 19th May. RCSW would also like to thank RC Cebu West for their generous gifts and fellowship. Thank You for your support !!
