Our Community Involvements:
   
Working in the Community:
   
Oikos has also volunteered in a Secondary School for the last 4 years helping in anyway to build the lives of the students in the school. We gave a be-frienders' program, counselling services. We partner the teachers to organise camps like the Sec One Orientation, sports leaders, etc.
   
Working with the Community:
   
We have just recently completed a joint overnight cycling project together with the Compassvale CC, the NorthEast CDC, CSC, PAYM and RC.
   
The program was successful in that it helped the people in Sengkang to forge new ties as well as to help foster family togetherness as families signed up as a team together.
   
Fans Thru CANS, another community project done with the support of the Anchorvale CC, Compassvale CC, and the RC. The aim of this project was to help the needy people within Sengkang to obtain some level of help by collecting and distributing food to them.
