We're deeply grateful to our incredible volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , BNP, Project Hestia, Eternal Life & Church CNCI SG who helped make this day so special.

Proving that age is just a number! 🌟 We had an amazing time organizing the Rummy-O competition with SATA COMMHEALTH at Kampung Siglap a few weeks ago! This fun-filled event brought together seniors from various communities, showcasing their skills, strategy, and sportsmanship. What inspired us most was the infectious energy and enthusiasm of our participants, proving that age is indeed just a number! This event is also in support of the educational outreach effort on preventive healthcare which SATA CommHealth is bringing to the seniors in the Community. A special shoutout to SATA Commhealth for the partnership and to our incredible volunteers, including some of our amazing clients who gave back to the community—thank you for making this event a success! We're so grateful for your time, effort, and dedication. You’re the real champions! 🏆

"It all starts with a tiny step. So, if you have an idea or you want to volunteer, find people who share the same passion as you and go for it!” Sometimes, it starts with us recognizing an unmet need in our society. That’s how it was for Hilman, co-founder of Project Sahur, a charity to aid lower-income households with free Sahur meals during the month of Ramadan. This is — Why I Do What I Do. Today marks the start of the SG Cares Giving Week! Be a part of this movement and join our volunteering opportunities in Kreta Ayer and Bukit Merah Town!
