#LetsMeet Choo Li Ying, 25, Chief Operating Officer at Hatch, a social enterprise that runs job training and matching programmes in digital and design fields.
“We work with young adults from many walks of life, and one of the groups with enormous potential are probationers referred through MSF. Building trust and rapport with them has been a consistent challenge, as many have been scarred from past instances where others have betrayed their trust. To get around this, we invest a lot of time and energy to connect with them, and understand their interests to match them to suitable companies.
It is really heartening to journey through life with our students and alumni. For us, success rehabilitation is measured by attitude, progress, and the effort they put into their work.”

COVID-19 may have created new challenges for Persons with Autism and/or Intellectual Disabilities. Precautionary measures such as staying home, wearing masks and practising safe distancing may seem foreign to them, particularly if it breaks their sense of routine and familiarity. They may also struggle to understand and observe such measures while outdoors.
Let’s do our part to look out for our Persons with Autism and/or Intellectual Disabilities friends during this time. For more tips and information on how:

#LetsMeet Jayaprakash Krishna Prasad, an operations manager and foster father of a 4-year-old girl.
"Being around my family during the circuit breaker period made me realise that I have to wear multiple hats at home and at work.
My foster daughter and I also got to spend more time together. In between my work, she would sit beside me and ask me to play “Mr Bean” or “Peppa Pig” for her on my phone. We shared moments of laughter, funny conversations and everything in between. Our relationship has definitely grown stronger."

#LetsMeet Benny Ng, founder and designer of Independent Market, which makes see-through face masks to help the deaf community.
“I connected with SG Enable after learning from them about the difficulties in communication that the deaf community faces while wearing masks. Inspired by similar initiatives overseas, my team and I decided to make see-through masks to help locally.
For the deaf community, being able to see more of each other’s faces makes communication easier. We are heartened to hear that this initiative also helped educators, speech therapists and others, who reached out to us for these masks."

As the fight against COVID-19 continues, safe distancing measures will remain in place to protect all of us.
It can be challenging for persons with visual impairment to notice the safe distancing markers on the floor or move around with a mask on, as it affects their sense of smell which they rely heavily on. Here are some useful tips for you to help them navigate and observe safe distancing.

#LetsMeet Kit Hoon Kit Xuan, 33, a beneficiary of the Temporary Relief Fund (TRF) and COVID-19 Support Grant (CSG).
“When I was let go by my company earlier this year after COVID-19 affected the business, I was worried about not being able to pay my bills.
However, I'm really thankful for the financial support from the TRF and CSG. On top of helping with my bills, it enabled me to pursue a part-time Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications course in psychology and criminology. I wish to become a social worker in the future with the knowledge and skills I pick up.
Despite the challenges I faced, I will remain positive in the face of adversity.”
