China News Service, June 7th. According to Singapore’s “Lianhe Zaobao” report, in an interview with “Lianhe Zaobao”, President of Singapore Jinjiang Guild Hall Bu Qingzhong said that the epidemic has affected the fundraising income of many charitable organizations. Therefore, the club hopes to pass the line. At the Dragon Boat Festival Gala, we called on the public to donate money to the hospital, inherit the spirit of caring and mutual assistance, and also express their support and respect for the frontline medical staff.
The epidemic is over, but the clan hall has been changed to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in other ways, and at the same time convey warmth to the disadvantaged.
Singapore Jinjiang Guild Hall has always paid attention to the Dragon Boat Festival. This year, due to the epidemic, it was unable to gather all members to celebrate together. However, the Guild Hall still decided to hold a "Epidemic Seed Rice Dumpling" Dragon Boat Festival entertainment evening party. The fellow members also raised funds for Renci Hospital.
The President of Jinjiang Guild Hall Bu Qingzhong said, "Last year we created an anti-epidemic Hokkien song to raise funds for the clinic, and this year we used an online Dragon Boat Festival gala to appeal to everyone to donate to the hospital. Our fundraising activity is not about raising funds. How much donation is more important is to inherit the spirit of caring and mutual assistance, and also to express support and respect for frontline medical staff."
In addition to singing performances, the "Epidemic Seed Rice Dumpling" program also includes a rice dumpling contest, a prize-winning quiz contest and a lucky draw.
In the Zongzi Contest, Jinjiang Club members are invited to record a two-minute video of Zongzi. These videos will be broadcast simultaneously on the evening of the show. The member who wraps the most Zongzi within two minutes will win the competition.
In the epidemic, everyone can't see it above. This is also a kind of flexibility and creativity for running the game.
In addition, Jinjiang Guild Hall also prepared a zongzi gift package for members to pick up at the club; as for some elderly or disabled members, the club executive committee will personally deliver the gift package to the door.
In the past years, Yongchun Guild Hall had large-scale Dragon Boat Festival celebrations. This year it was decided to distribute rice dumplings to nursing homes instead.
In response to the request of the hospital, the club intimately delivered Nyonya rice dumplings, which are easier for the elderly to eat, and handed them to the person in charge of the nursing home at noon the day before yesterday (5th).
In addition, the acting president of Yongchun Hall also prepared 200 red packets for the elderly.
He said: "During the epidemic, family members cannot visit homes for the elderly. At this time, it is very meaningful to give these elderly people a little heart."
For the Dragon Boat Festival celebrations of the Fujian Guild Hall, the "Afternoon School" managed by its cultural institute was chosen to host a parent-child meeting. School teachers shared the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and demonstrated Zongzi, and invited parents and students to work together.
In addition, students will also perform the Dragon Boat Festival poetry recitation at the event.
The Singapore Clan Association Association also launched the "2021 Online Dragon Boat Festival Carnival" this year, attracting many associations to participate. The event will be broadcast live on the Zoom platform at 3 pm on June 13. In addition to the "Online Quyuan's Hometown Cultural Tour", the program also includes the "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" drawing competition and the "Jumping on the Dragon Boat" Dragon Boat Festival game for the public to participate in.
