'LIGHT IN THE DARK 2013'
LIGHT IN THE DARK 2013!, a dinner fundraiser, was organized by Social Health Growth (SHG), was held on 18 May 2013 at NTU Alumni Club.
SHG aims to help disadvantaged families raise their children to become healthy and contributing members of society. SHG believes that every mother and child should not have to struggle with the basic necessities of life. They work closely with grassroots groups to identify families in dire need of assistance and help the families with daily necessities, counseling and job placement. To ensure the sustainability of the livelihoods of these beneficiaries, SHG also runs wellbeing and education programmes such as financial literacy and children enrichment workshops.
Mr Alson Boo, Chairman and President of SHG launched LIGHT IN THE DARK 2013! with an Opening Address to welcome all distinguished guests, sponsors, as well as the special guest, MP Lee Li Lian. The event was well attended by more than 200 individuals and organizations. Sponsors donated items such as jewellery and paintings to be auctioned. Proceeds from the dinner tickets and auction would go toward helping the causes of SHG.
MP for Punggol East SMC, Ms. Lee Li Lian, who was invited as special guest, took the stage to commend the good work done by Social Health Growth. She spoke on how her role as an MP and grassroots leader have given her greater insight and empathy towards disadvantaged families.
It was heartwarming to see many passionate and like-minded individuals and organizations participating in this event. This event has created a greater public awareness of SHG and its social causes and gave participants a greater understanding of the challenges faced by disadvantaged families.
