The confirmands of Church of Holy Cross had raised funds for Clarity Singapore through their project Gift of One Dollar (GOD) as part of their journey before they received confirmation.

The purpose of the project was to provide an opportunity for the confirmands to live out the meaning of being a witness for Christ.

The project was performed in three stages of activities – Mental Health Psychoeducation Workshop, interaction session with beneficiaries, and Advent Fair to raise funds.

During the workshop, the confirmands learnt about general mental health through four different experimental booths, each one allowing them to better understand the struggles the beneficiaries go through and the meaning of helping the beneficiaries.

In the second stage of the project, the confirmands had the opportunity to interact with Clarity Singapore’s clients in which the confirmands had learnt from the facilitators on how to hold a conversation with the beneficiaries. Through making handicrafts together, the confirmands bonded well with the beneficiaries.

The project was completed with an Advent Fair at the foyer of Church of Holy Cross on 8 December 2019 where an array of fun activities was held for visitors, selling of delicious homemade tidbits, services such as car washes and a photobooth, were also available.

With much gratitude, Clarity Singapore, on 18 January 2020, accepted the funds of more than $20,000 raised, which will allow us to continue providing mental health services to our clients.
