Project Beyond Borders


Beyond Borders is a humanitarian based medical aid trip initiated by the 2018 CIP Committee. This project aims to empower medical students to contribute positively towards global healthcare equity through providing a platform for medical volunteerism. It also aims to equip SMSANZ medical students with the necessary skills and knowledge for organising medical volunteering trips, working in under-resourced environments, while providing sustainable medical relief to the local communities overseas.

Teddy Bear Hospital


The Teddy Bear Hospital is an initiative by the 2017 CIP Committee, targeted at children aged 5-10. This workshop aims to alleviate childhood anxiety towards the medical environment, and educating children about managing their own health. This workshop comprises of several stations, “Teddy visits the Doctor”; “Why did Teddy Fall Sick”; “Keep Teddy Healthy”; “What is on Teddy’s Plate” and “Teddy has fainted!”. Participants will learn how to keep their teddy bears healthy through a series of games and activities. These provide a fun environment for children while understanding doctor visits and other important health messages. Students from all healthcare-related disciplines are also given the opportunity to enhance their communication and understanding of child health.

Fundraising

Charity initiatives first began in 2019 and funds were raised for numerous organisations and programmes like Apex Harmony Lodge, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Singapore via the Oncology Happy Snack Pack programmes and Childhope. We have also have had fundraising events to help fund our SMSANZ Project Beyond Border’s efforts.

This year, we plan to organise 2 main fundraising events besides our GoFundMe campaign.

Merchandise sales: we will be selling t-shirts and exclusive stickers to assist in funding ongoing collaborations with Peduli Anak, Baan Unrak and Childhope.
University events (Bake sales and fun runs): we will be hosting baking classes followed by a bake sale as well as fun runs where we invite other students to join us on a group run. All proceeds from the university events will be used to support our SMSANZ PBB efforts.
