Helping The Less Privileges

In our society, many are only living for themselves and it is good to hear of stories that young adults who are building social enterprise to help those who are less privileges.  Looking around us, many youngsters have developed the modern bad habit of paying an interest on the mobile devices only.  Many ignore their surroundings and even their loved ones even when eating at restaurant.  It good to hear of such good samaritans who are Singaporeans and it shows that there are good people living within our society.  :-)

I started a social enterprise called Society Staples in 2015 when I was still in university to promote greater inclusivity for persons with disabilities (PWDs).

In the last five years, Society Staples has grown from a two-man outfit to one with eight staff, including interns.

Among other things, we design activities, events and programmes to allow people to experience what it is like to live with a disability and invite them to share what they have learnt from the experience, and how it changes the way they think about PWDs.
