about law iv

Every year, the graduating class of law students comes together to put up a musical for a charitable cause. In September, the Class of 2008 will present their very own original musical - Kopi Shop Rock!

Kopi Shop Rock promises to take us back to the good ole rocking seventies, to a good old fashioned love story, complete with the outdoor movie date, kacang puteh and the rainbow-coloured ice ball. Throw in the vicious street gang, the retired cabaret queen, her long-time flame, the regular scheming sister and you're in for the Kopi Shop Rock experience!

Our Adopted Charities

This year, the beneficiaries are the Straits Time Pocket Money Fund and the Children's Cancer Foundation.

Children's Cancer Foundation (link)

Children's Cancer FoundationThe Children's Cancer Foundation (CCF) is an independent organisation, solely funded by public and corporate donations. As such, they regularly engage in fund raising activities.

CCF is staffed by a team of trained professionals and has a group of committed volunteers. To date, CCF has helped about 1,300 families since 1996 by providing counselling, employing therapeutic play, conducting support groups, organising children and family outings, offering financial assistance, educating the families, supporting training and research, and promoting public awareness.

Straits Times Pocket Money Fund (link)

ST Pocket Money FundThe School Pocket Money Fund (SPMF) is an annual community project that is initiated by The Straits Times and administered by the National Council of Social Services (NCSS).

The SPMF aims to ease the financial burden faced by low-income families in providing for their children’s education. For many of them, it is a sad fact that their parents truly have difficulties making ends meet, to the point of being unable to provide them with pocket money of $1 - $2 a day. This also makes it very difficult for some of these children to remain in school.

The SPMF helps to provide a monthly allowance of $30 to each primary school-going recipient and $50 per month to each secondary school student beneficiary.
