ShellVpower 4th Gear February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 If you go to the lists of 'members' found on the MCYS list, you will be more surprised that there are really poor people who cannot even afford a HDB. Some ministers regularly come in contact with the poor. Only some. One such is TCJ. If you are not afraid of the political involvement, you are free to participate in his activities of helping the needy. Otherwise, you can join the BB activities or religious organisations as volunteers. There are several organisations that you can help you like Jamiyah Homes. There's a childrens' home very close to Geylang with a lot of children that will certainly benefit from some help. You can go there to teach them English, help the poor children get more school stuffs. Education is extremely important for these kids and no help is considered too little. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolicense Turbocharged February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 this family is one of those that fall through the social gap. garment never do anything for them? give them a decent hdb flat at discounted price, for goodness sake. This young boy gonna to serve his NS duty in no time......... and in NS the allowance money not much and still must use that cash to top up buy black tape, range card, arc of fire sticks, comms cord, camo, gloves, kiwi, lighter, battery, L torch. not enough left for canteen breaks.. sigh.. Only good thing running shoes covered by Emart credit. its kids like that that NS place additional burden on. my number 4 still can at home use washing machine to wash. (AB2M got family to polish boots some more!) think jozie will need to own self use hand wash. I used to wash my number 4 in camp and hang dry.

Yes agreed. Actually some kids who don't do well in school due to family problems. The free remedial lessons will help to give them more opportunities to learn. Get them to turn up on compulsory basis. But the kids have to desire to attend in the first place. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go down to the ground and meet the poor people face to face if you are really keen to know what you can do to help. Sometimes, more money may not do the job. The family needs a mindset change.

nicgrace 3rd Gear February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 Great article, great discussions! It saddens me whenever I read such articles.

It's particularly worrying that there are many similar cases. While there is temporary relief from kind-hearted donors, how could this group break out of the vicious cycle? Provide the children with the right environment to grow. Kids learn quickly. And if they are surrounded with an environment where things are taken for granted, you get someone who's lazy and who thinks that his wants is a prerogative. But when you overstretch a child's deprivation, the child grow up to be overly-competitive. Education is extremely important to help the children learn about life. Have you seen the amos yee video about him questioning the relevance of education to life? There is only so much the donors can do. The people must break out of the cycle themselves. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
