ICCS 2010 Team and Recruitment

Posted on by

I finally found a breather to get started with ICCS this year. About the first thing I do before sending the materials order to the Ocean Conservancy is to finalise the team coordinating the International Coastal Cleanup Singapore. The ICCS Otters come from the Raffles Museum Toddycats and most are veterans of many years of contribution.

Each year, I ask everyone if they are able to help out or need to sit out a year. Eventually, the names stagger in to become a list and I gave it plenty of time this year as I was pretty much exhausted myself. This year’s list is as follows:

ICCS 2010 Team

  • Northeast Zone Captains – Ng Kai Scene, Cheong Wei Siong, Lim Chen Kee
  • Pulau Ubin Zone Captain – Tay Guan Hock
  • Changi Zone Captains – Kok Oi Yee, Teo Kah Ming
  • East Zone Captain – Connie Hon [new recruit]
  • South Zone Captain – Kelly Ong
  • Northewest Zone Captain – N. Sivasothi
  • Pandan Site Captain – Ouyang Xiuling [new recruit, NUS undergraduate]
  • Lim Chu Kang Site Captain – ???
  • ICC Penang – Alison Wee
  • Webpage – Charina Ong [new recruit, NUS Staff]
  • Data Captain – Airani S
  • Dy Coordinator – Andy Dinesh
  • Coordinator – N. Sivasothi

It is obvious recruitment is critical, so we are working on that now through Raffles Museum Todddycats. The role involves organisation, admin, education and field work and not meant for the faint-hearted!

If this sounds like your cup of tea and you would like to help out in Singapore’s oldest and largest grassroots environment programme, sign up at the Raffles Museum Toddycats recruitment page at http://toddycats-join.rafflesmuseum.net/. You’ll welcome you with open arms!
