My First Break
Made possible by contributions from businessmen and
spearheaded by SE CDC Council Members, the programme has
once again provided opportunities for another 20 youths from
financially challenged families who have never had the chance to
travel beyond Malaysia or Batam to travel to Shanghai during their
September school holidays. This programme was an example of
how SE CDC encourages the more abled Singaporeans to give back
to the community.
The 20 students-participants visited various companies in Shanghai
to learn more about entrepreneurship. These students then drew on
what they had learnt to organise a community service project to raise
funds for future batches of students for this programme.
The first batch of students also came back to encourage and help the
current batch to get their project going. These students put in over
2,400 hours together in paying forward what they have learnt to
the community.
