Salt Bottle Making - 15 Jan 2011

Led by a group of 5 bubbly & vibrant students from Singapore Poly, the residents had a fun time making salt bottles with the rest of the volunteers :D

Ingredients needed:

Preparation work (Sorting out the mini alphabet macaroni):

Challenging our eyesight... :P

Mini like ants...Wish we had auto sorting like excel spreadsheet...

Started off with our usual warm up exercise....

Volunteers helping out with the making of salt bottles & having fun themselves too.

Almost there....

Queuing up for the final touch up i.e. putting their names (alphabet macaroni) onto the bottle.

Tadaaaaa, here it is :D

Happy faces, feeling good about themselves with a sense of accomplishment. All uncle & aunties went back happily with their handmade salt bottle.

Priceless smile :D

"Everybody gains from Volunteering" So why not start today? :D
