POSTCARD GALLERY

As part of our on-ground and school outreach, we encourage the public, as well as students and teachers in schools, to pen down their own stories of appreciation on postcards. For many, the postcards are a great way to write a personalised heartfelt message to a loved one who has played a part in shaping them. Here are the postcards we have collected over the years that speak of their love, resilience, determination, hopes and dreams.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!

Wherever there is a human in need, there is an opportunity for kindness and to make a difference. If I have a friend that is financially weak, I will never hesitate to lend a helping hand. I will pack extra food for her so that she can save money for rainy days. If she has any younger siblings, I can donate my toys that are in good condition to them, this way they have toys. Emma Yap

The topic shines through me, my weirdness and crazy mind brings out the best of me. My friendliness may come off wrong to some people but I don’t mind as I would like to embrace my inner-self. Though I'm not that keen on embracing myself as I would get self-conscious and insecure, but rather than staying in my shell forever, I did be more open and explore new experiences. I think that is all for me to share, sayonara! Sara Kam

If everyone wants a positive mind, we must always never judge people even if they are poor or not the same as you. We must be brave in every obstacle even if it’s hard, we must also be courageous and support people in need. We must now compare too with other people even if their rich, poor or maybe special. These people have abilities and feelings too. Deana Farisya

We should lend a listening ear to the friends around us who need it. They might just need someone to talk to about difficult situations. We should also readily share our things with our friends or neighbours who cannot afford so many things like us. Even a simple packed lunch or a bag of clothes means a lot to the. Check in regularly on them. Lastly, be mindful of our words and of what we say, once words are spoken it cannot be taken back and some words might hurt them. Be brave and courageous enough to stand up for them. It is not enough to be friendly you have to be friend that counts. Ariel Cheah

If I am capable of helping the person I would try my best, I could: Donate money from my piggybank or I could ask my parents for money if they are willing to give. Donate clothes and toys that I no longer can wear or no longer play with. If he or she is bad at a subject, I can stay with him or her after school to help with the subject. My friend is demotivated, I can try to cheer him/her up to always think positive! A little kindness can go a long way, not only are you making that person feel happy, you are making yourself feel happy to! It is to spread the love. Magan John

Although $1 or $2 is not much money for us, this small amount of money can help people change their lives. If everyone buys one tissue packet from a person and contributes $1, imagine how much money will be accumulated at the end! I think this is how Singaporeans can do their part, don’t give them money without buying the tissue packets, they do not want your pity. Instead, if you want to help them but do not want the tissue packet, give the tissues to someone who helps them, if you do this, they will accept the money because you have bought the tissue.

Friends and families are with you, your phone is also with you too. Your life isn’t a mistake it’s a miracle. You can do much more things than you think you can do much more things than you think you can do. Always face ahead. There are times that your days are sad and lonely and the rain just don’t stop but you shouldn’t feel sad because rain and storms are stick with you, the rain just makes you happy it let you know that you are not crying alone.

Just live well and don’t allow regrets to occur all the time. Find strength in pain, find courage to love. Most importantly, be yourself and never change because of others. If they are true to you, they ought to accept you for who you are. Study hard and be happy in whatever you do. Be patient because it is said to be the key to success.

They would always scold me when I do something wrong, but after that they will explain and tell me why I should not do that. Sometimes I don’t know why I am not in a good mood, when my mother talk to me I will answer her in a rude, but after that I regret, I talk to her polite way. I am always thankful for what is given to me, I don’t really know how to express, so I will do something to show how much I care and love about them. Li Pei Wen

Throughout my life, I've faced many challenges and adventures to come this far. My journey is like a hike on a mountain, the path that I hiked on to be my past, the path ahead to be my future, the rocky paths and steep edges to be the challenges I faced or yet to face and the summit of the mountain which is my dream and life goal. Looking back the effort it took me to be who I am now was tiring and tedious. But I could not have done it alone. Choosing to face the obstacle alone almost led me to falling off the mountain and into the world below as I could not handle the challenge. Fortunately, someone saved me from falling. As a teacher, councillor and parent, my mother has watched over me, my every step and helping me in my studies. The amount of effort she put in to make sure I can live a happy life cannot be expressed in words or actions. I can never repay all that she has done or my sister and I but I can forever mother has done for me so that I can continue hiking the mountain and someday reach the summit. Faith Koh

You must realise that your life is not hopeless & that it can always get better, and if you try, it will. So, don’t ever stop fighting. I know you’re constantly being discriminated & that you are constantly being insulted, but don’t let that ever affect any aspect of life. You’re a smart person, don’t think that you’re not, and don’t let others comment on your grades. If you believe in yourself and try your best, you will succeed.

Stay strong. There are people who will help you on your journey. Even if all hope seems lost, you will make it. Believe in yourself. You are loved by someone. Just don’t give up. If you have to give your all, then do it. Give your all, because one day, you will succeed. You are stronger than you think. You have more potential than you ever knew you had. Don’t give u.

To all people out there who need help: Hi, you see, I only have one message to say to you. Don’t care about what people say about you. Don’t bother about your situation. I know you should care coz it’s your family and all, but, by thinking about it, you are going to be vert distressed. Many thoughts would come to your mind like “Oh why do I deserve this! I feel like dying,” but don’t let those thoughts overwhelm you. Roll with the flow. Just be col and don’t think about your situation. Live well, play well, stay well.

Your life is not yours unless you acknowledge it on your own terms, on your own conditions. Perhaps it’d suit you to sit down. Contemplate. To know for sure. If it was worth it to win. However, faking ownership does not solve all strife. To overcome it, you must be clever, whatever suits best. Hold your own with life. It is not fair, not always in our favour. Fate is inclined to oppose; not support. With a fork and a spoon, go on and savour. Flavour bold and rich, from life’s finest port. Food diverse, but we are missing the point. Comfortably poised at north’s arrow point.

What can I do to help a friend? Shallow waters filled with tears Poverty, beating, oh so many tears The shatter of a bottle ends the day Daily suffering, served in many ways But amidst the shadows, a light one of hope, glows If stuck in a place you hate to see Imagine where you want to be and if you cannot break the sorrow A helping hand, I will let you borrow Ensuring as such at the very end, That is how I help a friend.

We should all ponder about how to become a decent human being, and make the effort to find the courage to be the best version of ourselves. We should not compare as we are our own benchmark. I firmly believe that we should face our problems and face our fears, and accept everybody, every situation and every outcome. Everyone in our society should turn off the negativity and bring in the positive light on everything in life. As Dr Sues said “today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So, get on your way.” Being open is the first rule of bravery and we should share our courage and explore. We should practice gratitude and not complain, showing compassion to everyone we meet from all walks of life. We need to share and spread our positivity, sharing our thoughts and stories when we have the opportunity.

To whoever is on the other end of this card. Don’t give up. Whatever you are doing it is probably working if it isn’t change and try again. The light at the end of the tunnel will always be there, waiting for you, the best is yet to be. Don’t let your surroundings determine who you are. You are yourself, and you decide how you want your life to be. When all hope seems lost, look around and remember that the world is always there to help you and your success. You are your strength, and your world calls again. Persist, resist and never desist. “能给予的就不贫穷“ if you can give others, you are poor.

Hey, you probably thought being poor makes you alien to everyone around you in school, you probably thought having to work a part time job makes you of lower standards than average students, you probably thought that you are worse off than everyone. Let me tell you that is not the case. You have so much potential to excel, better off than the average student equipped with a phone to distract themselves, tuitions to feed their brain with knowledge and not the desire for knowledge, branded clothes to waste time showing off. Being poor is no disadvantage, being less fortunate doesn’t make you less of anyone.

You can help a friend in distress by talking to them, thus providing emotional support. Sometimes people are in distress because they cannot find someone to share their troubles with, so by acting as a listening ear you can greatly lessen their suffering. At the same time, we should also offer help tactfully. People in need may dislike being looked down on or treated like they constantly need help, so by talking to them respectfully and normally, they are also given moral support and encouragement.

The person that brought the best out of me was my form teacher from primary 5 to now. In the middle of last year, I started to idolize and hang out with bad company and gradually got influenced by them. I started to act more rebellious and disrespected my peers and seniors. I then started to get myself into a lot more trouble and eventually got my title as chairperson of band taken away. But throughout it all my form teacher constantly made an effort to change my ways and when I started to realise it I felt stupid and decided I would let go of my foolish ways and follow a path to jubilation.

When I think of people who showed kindness to me, I would think of my CCA batchmates. As friends, we would often encourage each other to do our best for CCA and even check on each other when some are not feeling well. To me, they play a very important part in my life. We are very bonded and hence, we often do many things together and spent a lot of time with each other, even on non CCA days. They once showed kindness to me when I was feeling troubled and anxious over a matter. They encouraged me and cheered me up throughout tough times. I was really grateful for them and felt that they really played a big part In putting joy in my life.

I feel that an act of kindness comes from deep within kindness is not something you show to prove yourself. Kindness comes from the heart. When you see an old man selling tissue, you don’t give them money because you pity them. You give it to them because you know they need it. In conclusion, I think the simplest act of kindness is donating money to charity. It may not do much but it’s the least we can do. Charity is the best quality.

What really matters is what you think of yourself, because the only person you can fix is yourself and we cannot let the comments that others say about us affect us!

I persevere to succeed on something like results of exam. Sometime it can cause me stress too, but that does not stop me from getting good results for my exam. I should calm myself down by taking deep breaths and I should exercise more too release stress and make me relax. I should not lose my temper because of stress. I should not lose my temper because of stress. I should spend more time with my friends to solve our problems together. I can also talk to my family members. I can do my hobbies after I am done with my homework. I can get some inspiration before doing my work or else I will have no mood to do my work and I will not be focus or not do well in my work. I should eat more to stay energised and have a positive mindset, I hope I can be a better best of me! 加油! FIGHTING!

Being the best of you. Positivity, confidence and persistence are key in life, so never give up on yourself. Don’t forget to tell yourself positive things daily! You must love yourself internally to glow externally. Believe in yourself, go after your dreams and don’t let anyone put you in a box. Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time. In life, you have ups and downs, but you should never give up. Always try to get ahead. You can put me in a cage, on a ladder, in any kind of a match and I will persevere. I will find a way. Anything is possible if you have the mindset, the will and the desire to do it. With faith discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.

One of them taught me when I was p1, she was the most important teacher among all the other teachers that taught me as she taught me all the basics. Another teacher is Ms Tan, she is patient, kind and caring. She patiently taught me one by one all the things that I did not know. Unfortunately, she had to leave the school to teach in a school nearer to her house but the good news is that she created a group for us to keep in touch with her. Once again, I would like to sincerely thank my teachers that had taught me.

Be Grateful! Be kind! In this era full of criticism and comparison, I always remind myself to be grateful for all the good things I have gone through and for all my loved ones. We are more blessed than we think, it’s a great habit to start noting down the things or event that we are grateful for, rather than blaming or complaining about a bad day at school or work. Also, be kind to others for we should share and spread our love to those less fortunate. It seems tedious and troublesome at first, but it truly brings joy to us when we offer a lending hand to others in need. Live life to the fullest with no regrets!

Dear _____, I always believe in the saying “You reap what you sow” luck will only get you so far, the rest will be deepened solely on you yourself. However, there are people that I would want to express my gratitude and love for, to those who have helped me to become me, to be a better person. My parents will always be held dearly in my heart for all the love, care and everything they sacrificed for me, their daughter. I will always strive to be a better daughter and to always be there for them like how they were always there for me.

How can this tiny, hyper-modern country find in itself a cultural soul? Through these stories – of courage, family, bravery, sacrifice, love – the ones on display here and the ones that we tell our children at night. When I first came to Singapore from India in my head I pictured a cold, transnational business-centered people. But it is obvious to me now that behind this veneer lies a Singapore full of heart. I hope we can discover together!

There are so many deep-seated issues and injection in Singapore that I think has been much too concealed that people simply can be brought about to come and take after to try to bring about change. I personally wish for there to be greater awareness on the structural factors that under-lie these issues, somewhere at the intersection of capitalism and state power and illuminating, these industries through narrative and art is an important step in that.

A yelo! I’m Candice. Here’s a brief rundown of my journey battling with depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. I was always one to condemn and punish myself ridiculously with the worst verbal abuse. I hated myself and pleaded others to pray for my death because I believed that I should die for the welfare of others. I cut, purged, bruised, and starved myself for years. However, despite it all, god saved me every time. Just like me, there’s redemption and salvation awaiting you dear. You are loved by the highest god and are worthy beyond measure. If god can deliver a wretched soul like me, I'm certain, that you can find solace from him. “But god, being known in mercy, because of the great love with which we loved us, even when we were dead un our trespassers made us alive with Christ – by grace, you have been saved!

They remind me that I am a beneficiary of all their hard work and kindness and I should remember, also, to all the people I've met and learnt from – my teachers, friends, schoolmates, and my parents – who remind me that I too must play my part to give back one day.

I gave 40 years of my life to a marriage that was like a prison to e. During that 40 years, I always felt trapped, helpless, lonely and angry with myself for the foolish mistakes of my youth. I smoke, drink, ran away from home, dropped out of secondary 2 and was like kicked out of a good school because my principal label me as a hopeless case and made my well to do parents believe that I should sent to a localised centre for girls, naughty ones, I wasn’t naughty I was always misunderstood. I have my own mind, strong in thinking, a little rebellious, free-spirit- that’s all.

Your appearance in my life has been nothing but a blessing. Serving as a listening ear in this noisy world. A driving force in this stagnant world. It is only because of you that I am the best version of myself today. Taking great leaps in terms of my passion, and also relining my morals.

For me, I think that different types of movies and TV shows allow me to truly realise what type of person I am. They are able to inspire hope in people as well. When a show teaches their audience, young or old, realise the different aspects of being a good person. Other than that, shows are able to let you feel an array of emotions from joy to anguish. Hence, I believe that any type of movie or show is important for the growth of a human being.

And also, I realised that everybody is fighting for surviving. All these suicidal thoughts, loneliness. Not only you, not only me …… everybody is struggling with their own problems.

There once lived four rabbits at the skirts of a mountain. At the top of this mountain was a carrot as big as one can imagine. It is so large it could feed ten rabbit for a lifetime. Every day, the rabbits would train hard to climb to the top of the mountain where the giant carrot sits. All but one rabbit. Jamon had no interest in the carrot. He instead loved cherry tomatoes. Every day, he would visit the cherry tomato farm to have his meal, visit his friends, he laughed and played, living his life as jolly as one can. The day the other three rabbits reached the top of the mountain, they were old and grey. They died the next day, clinging onto the giant carrot. Jamon died smiling.

I wished I could just run awa from life but when my father had gotten me a tutor, I thought, there goes my free time, but she was fun to study with and learn. She was kind and funny and I passed with good marks in SA2.

Personally, I think that there are many solutions on how to be the best of myself. Firstly, I can push myself outside of my comfort zones. Through this, I can learn how to seek and endure pain and hardship in the future. Secondly, I can put up my best behaviour everywhere I go. By putting on this great sense of attitude, people shall start admiring your personality and effort.

By being optimistic and know my limits: Look from different perspectives. Have reasonable goals. Think of different possible outcomes, not just one; manage time properly; always plan ahead. Look for the good in the bad. Learn from where you went wrong; “if there’s one benefit to losing, it’s that you get to learn from your mistake.”; learn from the past Push yourself to do better; have the courage to explore the unknown; don’t stay in your comfort zone.

I am grateful for being mentally strong. Throughout my primary school life, I have been heavily shamed about my hairy body, what I wear and what I do and I have broken down a couple of times to my mother or sometimes on my own. I f you heard what they called me, you would’ve been shocked that kids/teens my age know cruel words like that. I used to be really confident and care less about what I wore or did last time as I was young but now I wear covered clothes such as jeans or sweaters but I gained some confidence and wear short sleeve shirts. In primary school, I used to have low self-esteem and depend on others for compliments and how good I look but from then I learnt that no one will love you if you don’t love yourself. If you see models or instagrammers, their pictures, it takes self-love and confidence to post it because they know that there will be negative comments posted on their pictures.

Your words and voice always encouraged me. I had several times wanted to get up on this and even wanted suicide. It’s your encouragement always reminded me to persevere on it. In the end, I did it.

Dear mother, First of all, I want to thank you for staying strong till this day. Our lives haven’t been easy ever since your divorce. We had to live with no electricity and had to rely on corridor lights to do homework. It was hard for the 4 of us, but it must be harder on you. From a 5-room HDB flat to a rental flat. However, never once did you give up. You continued to stay strong for the sake of us, and I honestly still wonder how you did that. I adore you so much. We had a dark past, but thankfully, we are living our life to the fullest now and are finally moving to a proper home in 2-3 years’ time if it wasn’t for all your sacrifices, we wouldn’t be surviving and having proper education. Thank you for everything, you mean so much to me. I promise to study and work hard to make you even prouder, mom. Things still aren’t going too well now, slowly but surely, we will get over this. I'm sorry for all the things I've done to disappoint you and for being selfish at times. I just want to see you happy and healthy. God willing, our lives will be better in the future. Allah is here with us. I love you, mummy.

I want to thank the construction workers and helpers. Although their jobs are really tough, they still come to our country from their countries/home town (which is really far). They have to work for long hours every day around an average of 80 hours per week. Nevertheless, they had done their parts like constructing, clean, and a lot more. When you think about it, they are earning for a living, for their family and working long hours for less than a thousand. For construction workers, they have to carry heavy things around dangerous job site, which is risky, whereas for domestic helpers, they helped clean the house, do the dishes, cook and a lot more.

I would like to thank Mdm Elisha for enduring our attitude in class, receiving complaints from other teachers and all.

I appreciate everyone who has come into my life but I appreciate my grandparents more. They took care of me when my parents couldn’t. my grandfather always buys me gifts even though he doesn’t work anymore. My grandmother cooks my favourite food and watches with me her favourite movies even though she doesn’t understand Tamil or English subtitles. When both of them fight, they remind me of me and my mother. At least a day, they forget and forgive. I love and appreciate them.

There is no limit of how much that we can learn from you. I never get to see you in real life but I couldn’t be more familiar with your life story. Through your books and your biography. You inspired mankind not just with your work in physics, but also you showed us that determination and hard work can overcome all the obstacles that would make our lives difficult. So every time when I face difficulties in life, I would think about you. If you are capable of what you have accomplished despite facing all those difficulties, then why can’t I overcome my problems.

Even though I am struggling to cope in History for Sec 3, I am still passionate to continue learning from my mistakes, thanks to you. I hope you stay as an amazing History teacher and you are able to still connect with your students like how you connected with us during Sec 1. Last but not lease, again, thank you!

To everyone I have met so far, Thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. While I was initially cold-hearted to everyone and harboured a deep resentment for friendship, I have now come toterms with the fact that no one survives in this world alone. And from that, I have built a few meaningful friendships with some of my classmates. I also have to thank my current class of 5N1 for accepting me as one of their own. As a repeater of the O level Examinations from 4E2, I was initially afraid of my new class and their reactions. However, I was accepted with open arms and wasn’t judged by them. With help, I was able to decently up my grades to a relieving level. However, I still have a lot to learn.

Who are the needy among us? Certain elderly, people in poverty, disabled people and blue coloured foreign workers. What could be their needs? Food aid, financial aid, moral and emotional support. How can they be helped? Individuals: They could do something as small as giving a small donation and that could help someone in poverty in such a long way. Government: They can help by raising awareness on this topic by spreading the word e.g. flyers, posters, advertisements.

Without them, no children can learn how to study, do not know good values and can’t grow up studying. Without them, children can’t have a proper job when they are older. Thank you, teachers for being the people we can rely on and remember today and forever more.

Tissue paper $1 You may not believe this, but there are people who do not have three full meals in Singapore! Why? They might not be well-educated, poor or they may be selling tissue papers to earn a living. Obviously, it is not enough to eat proper meals, right? Well, I have heard of a story that is similar to this. A man lives with his granddaughter and his children. Although he was well-educated with a high paying job, he was unfortunately fired. To carry on with life, he started selling tissue paper packets for a dollar each. However, that was not enough to pay for his bills or for the granddaughter to even go for an excursion with her friends. Another man bought four tissue packets for $4. This was enough for the granddaughter to go for the excursion. See, small steps can make a difference.

Dear Mr Teo, You’ve always helped me with my homework or even other problem sums. From the start of last year, you were also really kind to everyone including me. Usually, most of the teachers just give the homework without discussing it with the students, whether they are able to do it or not. But, every time we say that we have a lot of homework, you will try to lessen the workload you give us. I will make sure that I try my best for the upcoming exams to show my appreciation for teaching me my homework and problem sums. Thanks a lot! I will not let your hard work go to vain!

I would like to appreciate my neighbours, family members who have supported me and my friends. Firstly, my family members. They’ve always been by my side, encouraging me to do well in everything (sometimes they compare my results with their friends’ children which is kind of irritating.) But all human beings are not 10/10. There are flaws but humans can learn from their mistakes. Next, my friends. They’ve always supported me. My friends would tell me my mistake and advise me what’s wrong and what’s right. Also, my teacher who is like a ‘GPS’ which shows the right way. Lastly, my neighbours. When we left for overseas for 1 month, our neighbours helped look after our pet, Ramsey, and our plants, without us asking for help as they have a spare key. I'm willing to appreciate these three categories of people plus my ‘GPS’ teacher.

We could hurt their feelings and they may start blaming themselves, which might cause things to take a turn for the worse. “I hereby promise that when I see someone struggling, I will try my very best to help them no matter what”

I can be the best of me by treating everyone equally, regardless of their background. I feel that the world we live in is becoming more heartless as days go by. Killing and bullying happens every day, and that needs to stop! If possible, I would actually love to volunteer at a children’s home, as I feel that those children deserve more. Those children have a bright future ahead of them. At times, I see some mothers with their children selling tissue packets just to earn money to provide for the child. Seeing this made me feel really upset and I wish I could do more than just buying tissue packets. Thus, I would like to be a kind soul by treating everyone equally!!

For these past few years, my tuition teacher has been supporting me along the roads of my life. He has to work several jobs to support his family. Every day, he would wake up early in the morning to teach English, mathematics, and science. After that, he works at GRAB to earn extra income to pay his debts. He inspired me to sacrifice myself for the greater good. Sometimes, one has to let go of certain things so that other things would succeed. For one to succeed, we should be united. There is no purpose if we do not uphold our call of duty in the pledge for ‘justice’ and ‘equality’.

How to help others with my strengths? Firstly, before helping others, I must be emotionally and financially stable. If I can, and whenever I can, I’d help someone by providing food for them. On the streets, whenever I see homeless people, I am able to give them food and not just money as the money provided might not be sufficient. Lastly and most importantly, I can lend a listening ear to others and sympathise with them. by doing so, I will let them feel that they are not facing their problems alone.

I could use my oratorical skills to spread awareness and come up with a movement to help people who are suffering from urban poverty. I think that most people who are not suffering from urban poverty are not aware of the issue in Singapore. Hence, we should raise awareness of the problem and bring it up to the government. By persuading the government, they can break the cycle of poverty generation by generation, and tackling the core problem. Not to just give them subsidies but to also find suitable jobs for them, or set compulsory courses so that the poor can learn skills to apply for a job that is suitable for them. We have to tackle the core problem by providing them a stable income instead of only giving them subsidies to alleviate the problem.

The moon comes up when the sun sets, representing your frown (moon) wiping out your smile (sun). But in the end, the sun will rise up once again as the moon goes down.

As far as I understand, I’ve had many friends who were under urban poverty. I’ve always wanted to help them, but it was very hard for me as I used to be in a similar situation, making me being able to relate to them. I feel very bad for anyone who is currently going through such a situation. I would help by doing mini donations that would actually benefit them. I would talk to them every day so that they would go home with a smile on their face and an unforgettable memory. Whoever is reading this, just remember that you have many people around you who love you and support you. You are, and will be, a great somebody today and tomorrow! HANG ON!

People around the world and near my neighbourhood might be struggling without proper food or money. Hence, what we can do to help people who are struggling is to use social media and create awareness for them. We can create donation drives or charities to help the people in need. Besides money, we can donate food for them as they may not be able to afford it. So, we, as a community, can help the people in need so that they won’t feel left out and besides, they are still people with feelings and they need more help. Based on the play I watched, this is a good way to raise awareness to schools so that it may impact us teenagers and we would want to make a difference. Thus, we have to step forward, understand them and make a difference to help them.

We can give moral support to our peers, if we can't support them financially the least we could do would be to be there for them when they need attention instead of letting them bottle their feelings. It will be really unhealthy as their mental and physical state will badly affect the person. Never bottle up your feelings when you are in pain. Instead, share it with someone you trust:)

Speak to the people who are suffering from poverty politely. Ask them what problems they are facing and help them. Convince them to feel less dejected. Get close to their family and bring them to your house for lunch or dinner. Doing this would cheer them up and they won’t feel so sad most of the time. Being poor is nothing to be sad of!

My personal hero in my life doesn’t know how to fly, have super strength, or wear a cape. She isn’t part of the avengers either. She’s extraordinary yet significant. My hero has known me for my entire life yet there’s so much more I have to learn about her. She is none other than my mother. Everyone as their own versions of their hero. Most people look up to people who are literal heroes or heroines, saving people and defeating villains. My mother doesn’t defeat villains, she encourages me to face my own problems despite her having her own problems. Even though we struggle to make ends meet, she makes sure that I get to enjoy what others have. Even though my siblings are much younger and need more attention than I do, she tries to make time for me amongst her working hours. Being a mother at 22 wasn’t easy on her end, she tries and stumbles, but never gave up to bring out the best in me.

My strength is being open minded. Being open minded will encourage me to staying open to changes. I am thankful as I am able to live in a comfortable environment whereby food is always present, fans and air-conditions can be used without worrying about the electricity bills. However, in urban poverty, there are people who are struggling to make ends meet. To make their lives easier, I can offer my help and support such as using my social media platform to raise awareness about this rising issue. I am also able to donate money or at least canned food items that might be of a great importance to the underprivileged. By helping the needy, we are not only trying to help them sustain their survival but we are creating a movement where our actions will attract others to do the same. Therefore, we will be able to create a harmonious environment for everyone.

I feel like everyone has their own strength to stand up for themselves when they are getting bullied, mocked or picked on. No one should feel beaten down or as if they are not worth, hence you should also stand up for yourself. Others should also help their friends, classmates, or people they know who are struggling or are in need. You should treat people like how you want to be treated. Hence you should treat everyone with respect, care and kindness regardless of their race, skin colour, religion or how they look.

We can spend time to help our neighbours. For example, if they need education, we can teach them. If they need food, we can always donate food. Best if we can help cook since we have learnt how to do so in school. We could also help do the chores, or call social workers that specialise in helping those in need. I recommend “Skills Future” to learn new skills which would aid them in finding jobs.

“When you are struggling, it does not mean that you are failing.” From my knowledge, I have not ever encountered anyone experiencing urban poverty, nor have I personally experienced it (or my family as a matter of fact, only minor financial issues), however I pledge myself to not take things for granted, to not insult or attack anyone facing urban poverty and to never give up when encountering such struggles.

They might be among us. There are people in Singapore who cannot afford 3 meals a day. Not everyone is as fortunate as those who are able to afford good food. Home is not what everyone has.

Life is never fair. There are people in this world who are luckier than others. Instead of silently judging (if they are too afraid to ask for help), why not try to find out about their situation and try to help? It never hurts to try! And if you do, who knows what or how much you could help. Maybe, you could change someone’s life one day…

[How to be the best of you] First, know any understand myself. When you know and understand yourself, you will know your advantages and disadvantages. From there, you must find ways to improve. In studies, you can improve by being more determined and set a goal so that you will work hard to achieve it. At home, you can be a more dutiful son/daughter by helping parents to do some household chores to relief their burdens. Therefore, it is all about knowing yourself and improving from there.

Don’t compare yourself with others Everyone is individually beautiful in their own way! Never ever give up!!! Find courage and be yourself! Don’t change yourself because others tell you to! Find the courage to express yourself openly in front of others. True friends accept you for who you choose to bend not who they want to be! Face your fears Fears are something that can be overcome and we are the ones in control. We can choose to face our fears and overcome it or continue to be taken control by your own fears. YOU ARE IN CONTROL!

I learnt that urban poverty is REAL and we should take serious steps and actions to help them. We must remember that everyone is equal and not discriminate anyone or make fun of people’s unfortunate w/o knowing completely. I learnt that it is very important to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Urban Poverty Is an increasing problem worldwide due to higher standards of living but often overseen in affluent countries. My heart goes out to those afflicted, for they might have to give up future opportunities such as education as well as their interests :( Now that i’ve learnt about urban poverty and understood the severity of the situation, I want to be able to reach out a helping hand to make their lives turn for a better through resources I have. One day, I hope to be able to start a project/movement that will allow those afflicted to have the same opportunities as everyone. IT COSTS NOTHING TO BE KIND, BUT IT CAN MEAN EVERYTHING TO SOMEONE ELSE

URBAN POERTY What I learnt: There are many people around us that are suffering. They may not have enough food for all their family. They may be unable to pay the bills and would have their electricity cut. What I Inspire to do: Lend a helping hand to those in need of help. Learn to be grateful of what I have endnote be wasteful.

URBAN POVERTY It is also seen in Singapore but Singaporeans do not bother to try helping these people. There are very little efforts to help these people. I feel that we should be more aware of our society and care more for these people especially in Singapore where there are higher cost of living. 1. Volunteer at an organisation to help these people -> Collect donations -> Collecting can food etc. -> Raise awareness 2. Provide free tuition / classes in those estates -> Zumba -> Sports activities 3. Interacting with these people -> Letting people know that they can seek help

When watching at the skit, it made me empathise with the actors, as other people are having financial problems that most people does not know. It made me really sad and also reminded me that my family and I are not financially well too.
I realise that I should work more harder for my family and get more rewards and make them proud. Now that they are growing more older, I would like to help out by studying hard and get more money. I also want to thank the government for providing us the FAS scheme and my friends who are always there when I needed help (like to lend money). “Our social status does not define our potential to achieve our goals” Don’t give up! If others could do it so can you! You can definitely achieve anything you want

To those struggling with Urban Poverty, I’m afraid that I cannot provide much material support but here’s a postcard! You can’t exactly choose who you were born as, so don’t demoralise or belittle yourself due to your circumstances. Instead, try to look towards and forge ahead through your own effort and work. Embrace new ideas and find your place in the world. Treasure your family and any good friends you make as they will be the ones that shall support you through a lot of obstacles. Right, I think that’s all. All I currently can offer is sympathy towards your situation and pray that you can live and prosper in this world. Good luck and persevere.

To those experiencing Urban Poverty: It is not embarrassing to receive help from others. It is also not embarrassing to let others know of your situation. Make some friends that you can talk to and you may feel better. If you feel bad to receive things, you can politely reject them or do something for them in return. Study well and you can get a good job, but do not forget about your own passion. Enjoy your hobbies while studying. You can do it! Jiayou!

All my life I’ve had social anxiety disorder. I’m too afraid to do anything without any of my close friends with me, and making friends was already difficult. But these years in Secondary School have helped me to step out of my isolated box and start to be more open-minded.

Urban poverty may ring a bell and sound familiar to us in this modern world. However, certain people do not believe its existence within Singapore. In my perspective, I do believe that there are many of our brothers and sisters who are in desperate need for help. Sadly, we - especially the millennials - tend to ignore what is happening around us and only care for our well-beings. We - as part of the future - must open out hearts so that we remain inclusive to the people around us. Even the smallest of acts can contribute in making the world a better place.

What brings out the best of me is TAEKWONDO Ever since I joined Taekwondo, my life changed completely. I was exposed to martial arts for the first time in 2015 where I went through vigorous activities and strict exams, not forgetting the patterns we had to do. I was promoted from white belt to red belt in 2017, when I quit die to personal reasons. I never regretted joining martial arts as it taught me life skills and morals.

If I see someone whois struggling to make ends meet, I will definitely give them support. As a student, I don’t have an income and will need to give my support in another way. I would like them to know that I am there for them, whether they need help physically or just a listening ear to share about the challenge they are facing. You are not alone! We love you and will help you if you need it. :) Lots of love!

Honestly, there’s nothing much I could do as I also need to stand my ground as well BUT I could provide some moral support whenever they are facing a pretty difficult time such as bills for school and exams. If possible I could gift them some money if I start part-time working. Nonetheless, I can only pray they find some sort of miracle even if they may not exist.

I’ve been aware of the Urban Poverty situation in Singapore from short clips on the television and social media posts, but I didn’t know how it was like fully and now that I understand what mostly goes on in such families, my heart aches in the form of sympathy. It has been a moral value in me to help an individual out if I am able to, be it a stranger or a close friend. So I would be willing to be of at least a little assistance to families facing urban poverty and I would start with those living in the same flat. Honestly, I would try not to be recognised as I believe the act of kindness is more important than having a social status. I wouldn’t want them to feel bad too and that they would try to repay me. I would share food from previous cooking if there is enough to spare, leaving a note to state reasons for doing so with well wishes. :D I also wouldn’t mind making it a point to spend a few dollars a day to buy supplies if it helps them get through the day :> Best wishes!! :D

至您身边最爱的每个人, 就是一个人与人相处在一起的世界,每个人在不同的时间点经历一样的过程: 生,老,病,死。 面对这人生的过程,人的态度可说是因人而异。 兜兜转转,来来去去只不过是两个字: 珍惜。你有珍惜自己所拥有的吗? 时间? 健康? 生命? 家人? 朋友? 很多时候我们都遗忘掉珍惜,仿佛到失去的那一霎那才记起,自古有 “子欲养而亲不在”,现在何方不是呢? 看看你自己,你身边的爱人,亲人,莫等到失去了方才懂得去惜福。
