As they celebrate their 50th birthday with Singapore this year, 50 Siglap residents will be doing their bit for five children from low income families. They aim to raise S$10,00 for each of the children's education by selling 1,000 limited edition polo T-shirts printed with a special SG50 design.
Among those involved in the fund raising is Mayor of the South East District, Dr Maliki Osman, who felt it was a meaningful way to mark the personal milestone. "What better way for us to come together... to say thanks to Singapore for what she has done for us, than (by) giving back in our small way to these five kids."
Thoughts:
- This is a nice example of "kampung spirit", where the local help is given to support those in the community that needs the help to take care of the less fortunate ones.
- In this day, it is challenging because most of the neighbors do not know each other. How can we make people be aware of those who are needy (yet preserving their dignity) and provide timely help to them?
Thoughts anyone?
Yours,
Something Small Thinking Big
