Growing up with strained family ties and unmet needs, 14-year-old Sheila (not her real name) often displayed challenging behaviour under the care of her maternal step grandmother. Even after returning to live with her mother, Sheila doubted her mother’s commitment, making it difficult for them to bond with each other.
Watch to find out how a Family Guidance Order under the Children and Young Persons Act can help to heal the rift between Sheila and her mother.

#LetsMeet Adeline Vejaletchmy, 58, a visually impaired artist from Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped, who created an artwork for the #NDP2020 Singapore Together Pack, as part of SG Enable’s i’mable initiative which aims to celebrate the abilities of persons with special needs.
“My artwork was inspired by my personal experience of living in an HDB flat harmoniously with neighbours of different races. To me, the COVID-19 crisis reinforces the importance of compassion and mutual understanding. In the midst of challenges, there is always good to be found if we stand as one. Only by working together can Singapore become a better place where we can prosper.”

Today is International Youth Day, #LetsMeet Lim Si Hui, the Founding Partner of Glyph, a social enterprise that makes holistic education accessible and affordable to kids and youths from challenging backgrounds.
"I believe that innovation is key in the social service space, and this is what keeps me motivated to constantly try new ways of doing things at Glyph.
Despite not being able to conduct our usual activities with the kids during the Circuit Breaker period, we took the initiative to check in on their families' well-being through regular calls and messages. To ensure that their basic needs were taken care of, we personally delivered meals to them, and even found creative ways of engaging the kids through online gaming parties! As part of MSF's Community Link initiative, we were also able to reach out to rental families in Jalan Kukoh and Marsiling.
My journey at Glyph over the past 3 years has been challenging but extremely rewarding, and I am glad I decided to pursue my passion in this space."

“What’s beautiful about the network is that it’s not a top-down initiative. Rather, it relies on everyday people to stand up, make a difference and be part of actionable initiatives.”
