GUARDIAN ANGEL / BABY ANGEL


This is a “caring system” initiated by the Welfare Department :)

No one can look after a group of people well better than when everyone look after everyone in the individual level, right?

Therefore, how this GA/BA works is - each of us need to take up the “guardian angel” role to another member of the team who is our “baby angel”. We will run this caring system from now until Tech Outing day… after that, hopefully this caring system will become our culture & lifestyle!! :)


Objectives:

  • To cultivate a culture of intentional caring for one another
  • To mobilize team members to get to know one another better
  • To increase our sensitivity towards one another’s needs.

Guidelines:

  • To remain entirely discreet/anonymous in our identity when caring for one another by not disclosing one’s baby angel to another person (to promote unconditional care to another person and avoid comparison)
  • Not giving expensive gifts to avoid comparisons. To offer words of encouragement through short notes is most appropriate.
  • To show kindness consistently throughout this GABA duration, not showing kindness one-time only before the Outing.
  • To do only uplifting acts and encouraging words towards our baby angel, intending only for good. Not giving critics or passing judgment. De-briefing session after Sunday services is still the best feedback session, so do not need to do this anymore as GA to your BA.
  • Before deciding any actions toward your BA, ask “How do I show my appreciation to my BA?”
  • Do not make comparisons on how baby angels are being cared for and for baby angel, there’s no need to attempt reply to his/her guardian angel or find out who is he/she before Outing.
  • Feedback to Welfare Committees or Tech leaders whenever deem suitable.

Let’s start the “caring ball” rolling!! And fill our Tech lives with full of care and love :)


Yours beloved,

Welfare Department, Tech GCC
