Have you watched the life transformers programs on every monday? Is a show where the TV hosts will help families in dire needs clean up their places. Usually the stories are very heartbreaking, showing many families living on the edge.
There is one thing though I am perplexed. It seems that many of the families did not receive much help. Is it because they are unaware of the various help schemes that are available to them or the schemes do not cover them? Is it because there are not enough volunteers or social workers reaching out to them to inform them of the various help schemes?
One thing for sure, there are many opportunities to help/volunteer in Singapore. I know many Singaporeans including me like to volunteer overseas as the needs are more obvious there. However there are also a community in Singapore that needs our help. Lets us do something. Want to at least make it a point to volunteer once a month despite all our busy schedules? Let me know, we can arrange and do something together maybe. I think volunteering in a group or making the commitment together can help us stay in the program longer. We can harness the power of a group and maybe contribute in a bigger way! :)
Oceans are also make from drops of water. Though we may be very small droplets, but we are still the the integral composition of the huge ocean.
