Josephians Gift Prize Money to Children's Wishing Well
1 November 2022
Five Year 2 Josephians gave $1,000 of their competition winnings to Children's Wishing Well.
To celebrate the spirit of giving during this festive season, five Year 2 Josephians - Gabriel Low, Linus Lee, Nicodemus Lim, Kayden Cheng and Lim Ee-Ruey donated $1,000 of their prize money from the NTU Young Innovators’ Challenge to Children’s Wishing Well, a nonprofit organisation which helps primary school students from less advantaged homes.
In April 2022, the team under the mentorship of Mrs Pennie Ong (SJI Magis InnoV), Mr Kenneth Chiam (Lecturer, NTU) and Mr Patriak Ng (Entrepreneur, Spark Launchpad) developed ‘The ReCyclean’, to make recycling plastic bottles an effortless process for Josephians. For this, the team won the Most Popular Team Award and Best Team Award in the competition and a team cash reward of $5,000.
With the support from their classmates, the winning team visited the centre on 14 November to present Christmas hampers and also to learn how their contribution will help the less advantaged.
