20 December 2009 was a significant day for the Centre for Enabled Living – it marked the organisation’s inaugural venture into a community event. Dubbed North East CARE Fair, the event featured 15 voluntary welfare organisations providing social services such as counselling, befriending, elderly and disability care, and more.
With giveaways such as calendar magnets, handheld fans and cotton candy, the CEL booth attracted visitors of different ages and races, all of whom went away with a better understanding of the organisation and its services.
Held at an open field beside Sengkang Community Hub, North East CARE Fair was organised by the North East CDC and graced by Guest of Honour Mr Teo Chee Hean, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence.
