It
was a night dedicated to recognise outstanding volunteerism and philanthropy as YMCA of Singapore
honoured over 140 individuals, educational institutions and corporations at the
YMCA Awards 2016. Mr Chew Kwee San, President, YMCA of Singapore, hosted
the event and met volunteers and donors who had given their time, effort and financial support to touch lives and lift
spirits of the less privileged.
“The
spirit of volunteering is the vital key to a strong civil society. We’ve been
inspired by the stories of service we’ve seen throughout the past year and hope
their example will encourage others to lead and serve the communities too. We
would like to thank all volunteers, donors and partners for sharing in our
mission,” said Mr Chew.
Outstanding
Volunteer Award Winner, Ms Tan Huiping was 20 years old when she first set foot
in Sichuan, China in April 2013. A final year student at Temasek Polytechnic,
she was encouraged by a schoolmate and lecturer to join them for an overseas
community trip to help rebuild lives of the Sichuan earthquake survivors.
Expecting to change the lives of people she helped, she never once thought that
her life would be changed too.
“Spending
one week at Sichuan gave me experiences which have undoubtedly changed me for
the better. I remember meeting an earthquake survivor who lost all her family
members to the Sichuan earthquake. Despite that, she turned her grief into
helping other earthquake survivors by setting up homes to provide shelter and
food for the children, and a skills centre to help adults who lost their limbs.
At that moment I truly understood the fragility of life, and told myself that
so long as it is within my means, I will try my best to reach out and help
those in need,” said Huiping.
Another
award recipient is Sean Ng, who devotes his time to plan and execute confidence
building activities at Y Camp Challenge, a quarterly outdoor adventure camps
for intellectually and physically challenged individuals organised by YMCA.
Eddy Han who participated in YMCA’S International Service Programme, leading
teams of volunteers to Cambodia and Indonesia to help improve healthcare,
education and infrastructures will also be receiving the award. All three
individuals were chosen for making contributions beyond their volunteer job
description and inspiring others through their voluntary work.
Besides
the Outstanding Volunteer Award, nine other awards – which include Individual
Special Mention Award, Corporate Special Mention Award, Sustained Volunteerism
Award, Sustained Corporate Volunteerism Award, Team Award, Educational
