    Liberation & the life that comes after: Aditi Bisen, reflections of a team leader

    “We’re only there for a week, but the stories stick with you.” Aditi Bisen has gone for enough build trips to know that the physical house is not the only legacy that will stay with you. Sometimes all it takes is that one family you meet or one story shared with you to forever change the shape your life. “It’s always good to have these experiences in your back pocket when you go through hardships. It just enriches you as a person,” she said. For Aditi, that story was about th

    As for me and my house

    In the midst of the festivities celebrating Singapore's 54th birthday, we are all gripped by the massive turmoil going on in neighboring Hong Kong. The unprecedented scenes of mass demonstrations, violent confrontations, paralysis of the trains and airports are things unimaginable to the average Singaporean. Many people are actually very disturbed and affected, as the news and comments are coming fast and furious on the ever-energetic social media. The impact of these dramati

    A hand up to empower our elderly

    If you belong to the camp who believes that vulnerable Singaporeans like our elderly are too entitled or too dependent on charity hand-outs, we have a story to share that will renew your faith in extending a hand to help someone stand on their own feet. At 67-years-old and battling stage 2 Colon Cancer, Mr Lim still lives up to the "never say die" essence of the tougher, older generations of Singaporeans.

    On The Path To A Brighter Tomorrow

    Adding a new TV, washing machine and standing fans to their 4-room flat used to seem like an extravagant luxury that 63-year-old Mdm Kng couldn't afford to give her family of 6. This was back when she used to spend about $1,000 every month fixing wires and appliances damaged by rats that were running amok in their home. If this story sounds familiar to you, it should. We last saw Mdm Kng seven months ago at her Boon Lay Drive flat where she lives with her husband and four gra

    Bringing joy back to the home

    To most people, home is a refuge. But what happens when the home becomes a pressure point in the family and barrier to receiving essential social support? This was the case for 70-year-old Mrs Ng and her 50-year-old son Peter, who suffered a stroke in his 30s. Years of caregiver stress has taken its toll on this small family unit, resulting in a cluttered house that has led to rising tensions between them. On top of a cluttered living environment, their home developed a bed b

While he can’t build houses like his dad, Matthew has found a way to continue his father’s legacy by improving the safety and sanitation of homes belonging to vulnerable families in Singapore. “My father’s career was a big part of his life.
