    The family ties that bind

    How do we even begin to describe the Koh family? The family of five, who live together in a 2-bedroom HDB flat, consist of the Koh parents and their three children who all suffer from mental health issues. Full of flair and character, one could easily mistake their regular bickering as a form of internal strife but it soon became apparent that this was done out of their immense love for each other. Ultimately, they are a family who sticks with each other through the thick and

    Supporter Spotlight: FiveFinds Thrift Market by Christel & Rachel

    When it comes to inventive ideas that can hook people onto the idea of giving back, our youths supporters have been the trailblazers. Polytechnic graduates Christel Gan, 23 (L) and Rachel Wong, 22 (R) saw the potential for thrift shopping to not only benefit the planet and wallets, but also an easily accessible way for people to do good. "FiveFinds was born out of a love for thrifted clothing as more sustainable way to shop. At the same time, we wanted to add a different take

    More than usual

    I suppose many of us are looking at this Christmas with a feeling that must be very unusual compared with all previous years; after all, this must be the first time that many people are not allowed to do whatever they usually do during Christmas time. There will be no travels to favorite vacation spots, no fun parties larger than 5 participants (and can a party be fun with less than 5 persons?), no familiar large-scale church Christmas eve worship services (candlelight servic

    IN PHOTOS: The Itch Scale

    Did you know that Project HomeWorks cases with pest infestations are rated on a severity scale of 1 to 10? Can you place this case on the scale? If you guessed level 8, you’re absolutely right. The ratings for each pest-infested Project HomeWorks case is actually given by our long-time fumigation partner Wipeout Pest Control. Speaking to WipeOut’s Managing Director for this blog post, he gave us a low-down on tell-tale signs their experienced technicians look out for and the

    Reclaiming their home

    "How did the house get to this state?" It's one of the most common questions we're asked when we talk to potential partners and the public at advocacy events about Project HomeWorks. And as all our volunteers would know, there's never a simple answer. Vulnerability is not a state that anyone consciously crosses into overnight; it starts slow. For 77-year-old Mdm Chow (pictured right), working and caring for her 54-year-old daughter May Leng, who was born with Cerebral Palsy,

    Turning a house 'squeaky clean'

    "Every night I sleep, I hear them squeak." The worst part about rats infesting their house for 3 years was not the sounds they made at night. To Mdm Kng, it was the damage they left in their wake after scurrying around the house. “I bought a lot of the Mortein (household insecticide) to spray, and I just keep spraying. Some die but they still keep coming back. The troublesome thing was the rats keep biting & spoiling my things like the cupboard, electrical wires... I had to c
