Ramadhan-On-Wheels 2011

On the 20th of August this year during the Muslim fasting month, JIVE IG was given the opportunity to help out in the annual event “Ramadan-on-Wheel” or most commonly known as R.O.W. The event required the help of our students in facilitating the beneficiaries – who are the underprivileged families. This event allowed our students to have a first-hand experience to interact with the beneficiaries as well as their family members. Our students also got a chance to exercise and sharpen their hospitality skills to make the beneficiaries feel welcomed.

About 100 volunteers participated in this event and they showed discipline as well as professionalism to carry out their tasks assigned. In particular, some of our volunteers even went the extra mile to help these beneficiaries.

Far East Movement Free Wired Tour

Far East Movment

SingTel & Blackberry: Far East Movement Showcase, organised by Launch Group, was indeed an eye-opener and wonderful experiences for our student volunteers as we discover the insights of how the backstage crew works and handling of difficult situations.

Students volunteers were assigned to help out in meet & greet, Tagging of customers with hand bands and even Bag checks were done by our volunteers. Student volunteers were not paralysed by their positions posted. They were given chance to enjoy the show from afar without interrupting the crowd. Student Volunteers get to experience different positions such as doing Beach Patrol after being done with meet & greet. Not forgetting the about their hit songs such as “Rocketeer” & “Like a G6” being played in the showcase stage.

SingTel & Blackberry: Far East Movement Showcase did not just consist of student volunteers but also the personnel from Launch Group & Events security were there to guide us. I would like to point out about the personnel from Events Security. We were briefed about handling difficult situations and the kind of people that could have been unreasonable.

This event exposed us to the industry on the event operations and how communications with one another to ensure smooth and detailed operation is performed. In this majorly huge event, it shows how an event can be carried out smoothly with no or little hiccups by cooperating with one another; giving out specific instructions clearly.

Overall, SingTel & Blackberry: Far East Movement Showcase was a good learning experience for the entire student volunteers to discover the how on-site concert events works.

HSBC Women’s Champion 2011

Picture Time!

JIVE IG had the wonderful opportunity to take part for the second year running for HSBC Women’s Champion. The Championship league, held over a period of four days, was certainly an eye opener for the volunteers as they learnt how helping to run an event would be like.

The volunteers were spilt into the various roles, which includes Events Operation, Photo Experience, Children’s Zone, Kart Track, Wii Zone ,Golf Nets ,Golf Simulator ,Long Putt Challenge ,Chipping Zone. The volunteers were rotated across the different roles, as such they had never ending knowledge in which they could acquire, as in each different role, there would be a new experience and a lesson learnt.

One of the most challenging part of working during the event would be having to withstand the hot weather, which even with ventilation, could be difficult for the volunteers to cope with. The volunteers however put in commendable effort in working towards completing their job and not letting the organiser’s expectation of us to drop.

Another challenge was attending to the needs of the large crowd of people who attended the event. The volunteers had to meet to the enquires of the many different attendees, do their allocated job well and at times, sacrificed their break time to help one other complete their job.

Special Olympics Singapore Family Day 2010

Special Olympics Singapore Family Day

On 30 October 2010, JIVE Interest Group was given the chance to help out at the Special Olympics Family Day 2010 at Marina Barrage. This event was an opportunity for the family members and coaches of these athletes to interact. By helping Special Olympics Singapore organise the event, JIVE IG volunteers were exposed to unique situations.

At the event, the students played games and had fun with the athletes, most of whom had intellectual disabilities. Through the activities, the students realised that even the athletes need love, attention and patience. Being able to help them and bring them joy was definitely a fulfilling and eye-opening experience.

Home Team Convention 2010

Home Team Convention!

Home Team Convention 2010, organised by Ministry of Home Affairs, was indeed an eye-opening and wonderful experience for our student volunteers as we discovered the different units that contribute towards the safety and security of Singapore.

The exhibition consisted of three main sections which were 24/7 Ready; My Safe Home; Many Careers, One mission, One home team that showcased the ten different units of the Home Team & their responsibilities behind the scenes. Not forgetting sports such as archery, air guns, rock climbing that were offered for trial by Home team NS. All these exhibits were developed to educate the public on how they can play their part to ensure the safety and security of our country.

Home Team Convention not just consisted of student volunteers but also personnel from various home team units such as SPF, SCDF, Immigration and Checkpoint Authority etc. Students were exposed to the different areas of events management, from secretariat duties, ushering, stage management, information counter manning, handling feedback, logistics support, to publicity.

This event exposed students to the industry and the scale of event operations for such a large scale exhibition. It also showed us the importance of communication with each other to ensure a smooth and detailed operation.

ESPN Formula Drift 2010

Fomular Drift

Being part of the ESPN Formula Drift 2010 brought different kinds of hands-on experience to the student volunteers who took part in the event.

ESPN Formula Drift was a showcase and competition of cars drifting and making a perfect turn to win their opponents.

Not only did they learn how to run an event, but also how to adapt to the last minute changes in an event. One difference between the seating arrangement of a sport event as compared to that of a convention is that less attention is being placed in the seating arrangement for a convention.

The volunteers faced some challenges in carrying out their tasks at times, as they had to fold boxes and place them on the track as obstacles and protection when the cars were drifting. And this task was asked to be done during a short interval which took place during the race!

Through the Formula Drift 2010, the student volunteers learnt the importance of teamwork and doing the job effectively and efficiently, and how to work alongside others – all working together towards achieving a common goal of a successful event.
