Remarks from OCs :

Touch-a-Life is our club’s yearly major project. Our sincere appreciation to all the members and friends for the continuous support throughout the years, in terms of cash donation, physical help provided, as well as joining us on the long journey to visit each family during the handover. Thank you so much for making this event another successful one!

To the five selected families and all, we wish you :
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
