๐ŸŒŠ Making waves from the ground up: This week, we completed our 19th SG Cares Community Network Session. This is the final session in our first wave which saw 160 government and community help agencies, comprising 3,500 partners, coming together to build links and identify local needs. We are encouraged by many self-initiated projects that have sprouted organically across neighbourhoods. As these Community Networks grow, there will be more ways for community partners and volunteers to contribute, to better serve local needs. We are gearing up for the second wave in late 2019.
