Hey Boys
Its december and the seniors will know its time for our annual SGB duties (ok im slow). come to think of it, it is the 7th year since we have been adopting Hougang Mall.
I wonder what does SGB mean to all of you. I can agree with you guys that the time spend there was boring because just sit there and do nothing, I have the same thinking when I was a Boy that time to be honest.
But my view about SGB had opened up until last year when I joined the HQ Operation Team. I was there as Manpower Incharge, my main duty was to settle their CIP hours and assigned them to different locations to attend the donation boxes which also known as Satellite Box.
It was definately tiring imaging we have to clear what was leftover till like 3am into the morning before we get to rest, some of us we just work all the way till the morning and only get to sleep after we have cleared our duty in the afternoon.
Despite all the tiredness we also have lots of fun and made a lot of friends.
I think all the Officers will get a shock because the whole of the Operation Team 95% are made up of Primers, this is one of the area Instructors will serve when they chose to help in HQ level events.
The most impactfull duty during the SGB i will say the Delivery. Each vehical will have about 2 to 3 Boys attached to it to send the food hampers, each food hampers weight up to 30kg.
During one of the debrief sessions got a Boy said that he almost cried upon giving the food hamper because he was sad when he saw how bad the living condition of the beneficiries was.
A lesson I learned from last year SGB was that no matter how hard work we put in, all the little effort we put in these years SGB cannot compared to how hard those beneficiries life is.
