Visiting Cardboard Collectors in our Neighbourhood

Very pleased that our Central Singapore CDC team is able to support, in a small way, the good work by The Good Karma, Happy People Helping People (HPHP), SG Assist to visit some cardboard collectors in the Jalan Besar area. Such good vibes with so many young and old helping out. 

Several volunteer groups like HPHP, Mummy Yummy and Bread and Butter have already been active in this space. 

On a regular basis, my young and enthusiastic CDC teammates visit them as well and organise monthly get togethers before the pandemic struck - with the JB SSO, Kampong Kapor Family Service Centre, Seniors Centre and RC in tow, to offer love and more permanent support for folks where possible. 

I hope we can form a Cardboard Collectors Help Network soon to coordinate all the good work together for the common good. As Martin Luther King once said, “We may all come on different ships but we are all in the same boat now.“
