Partnering ONE Singapore to take a step closer to eradicating poverty!





Thank you, ONE Singapore for your dedication to raising public awareness and striving to make poverty history!


Our heartfelt thanks to One Singapore's dedicated team for organising this charity warehouse sale in collaboration with food distributor, FoodXervices where Project Kyrie's poor families have received with gratitude much needed food packages for the month.


Frens of project kyrie, do support ONE Singapore in all their events and efforts to make a STOP to poverty. Their next food drive is on 16th October 2010, so keep that date on your radar and participate in the warehouse sales that they will be organising again.


Together we all CAN make a difference!

Partnering Nanyang Primary School to reach out to the poor






Dear Frens,

I have stayed beside Nanyang Primary School for years. The school is truely a gem in our society. I would be so proud to enrol my children there and would not hesitate to recommend this school to any of my friends.

Every Chinese New Year, the children would go house to house to give their neighbours hearty Chinese New Year well wishes. This little act of awareness by the school and teachers have brought so much joy to the neighbourhood especially to our family as Chinese New Year would not seem like Chinese New Year if we do not see the ernest little faces coming by, to wish us a wonderful and properous Chinese New Year! In fact, my mum have also taken to preparing little goodie bags of sweets and cookies for our little guests every year.

It is not surprising then when one of the parents introduced Project Kyrie to the school outreach team, we hit it off immediately, finding ways to help the needy around us.

In the past year, we have assisted 80 Nanyang Primary School teachers to spend a day, twice a year, befriending and giving tuition to the needy children in the community.

This Chinese New Year that just passed, the teachers and children have taken a step further and collected thousands of canned food and rice for the poor.

With this we managed to provide food rations to poor families supported by Project Kyrie for 6 months. Rations have also been distributed to families in Queenstown supported by Beyond Services and families in Toa Payoh supported by HSR.

This act of kindness and effort of the children have given hope and joy to many struggling families. We are very thankful to the children for having learnt the virtue of sharing and helping others at such a young age, to their parents for encouraging the children and to the teachers and principal of Nanyang Primary for their continuous effort in moulding the children to become good and caring leaders in our society.
Much thanks also go to - Nanyang Plastics for sponsoring the hundreds of plastic bags used in distributing the food rations to the poor. To Laura and Ynez for spending an afternoon helping us to pack and sort the food rations. To Yvonne Goh for assisting in transporting the food rations to our storage. Thank you to many others not mentioned but you know who you are for making this project successful and possible! \o/\o/\o/
God Bless,
Mill
