🌊 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.

💞 CELEBRATING LOVE & FAMILY 👨👩👧👦
The June school holidays witnessed 2 important and heartwarming activities -- Ideas for refurbishment of our ROM Building and the emergence of our newly minted #Famchamps.
💞🏠 A more ROMantic ROM: About 150 students from Singapore University of Technology and Design, Temasek Polytechnic (TP) and Ngee Ann Polytechnic will be redesigning the ROM building. Senior Parliamentary Secretary Assoc Prof Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim recently met with TP students who shared their design inspirations. One student plans to use a diamond 💎 motif in her design. It looks pROMising indeed!
👨👩👧👦🏆 Raising Family Champions: #FamChamps recently concluded its activities where youths were taught important family values such as communication and empathy. 130 youths joined and graduated 🎓 to become champions of family values amongst their peers and loved ones.
