At TOUCH, we believe that every individual has the potential to flourish and thrive. We are committed to giving persons with disabilities opportunities to discover their unique strengths and talents, and providing a supportive environment for them to grow. We look forward to partnering with the community and likeminded corporates in improving the lives of persons with disabilities!
I visited our special needs trainees yesterday at our Bukit Merah Day Activity Centre. An art class was in progress and I decided to join in as well. Looking at our trainees engaged in learning, I am reminded of many of our talented JOURNEY (www.journeyspecial.com) artists who embarked on their art lessons several years back. Lessons such as these not only act as a form of therapy and an outlet for creative expression, the trainees also develop new skills and confidence as they earn an income from the sale of their artworks and become a contributing member of the community. I am immensely proud of our staff whose patience and dedication to serve the trainees continue to inspire many of us to stay the course when the going gets tough. Coincidentally, I also congratulated Chiew Geok on her 25th anniversary with TOUCH. As the Group Head for our disability work, she epitomises the heartbeat and passion of what TOUCH stands for! Through her leadership and the team’s dedication and commitment to improving the lives of persons with disabilities, TOUCH has also been appointed the regional coordinator for the Enabling Services Hub for the Western region by SG Enable last July. We hope to expand our reach to the community as we partner residents and corporates in our outreach efforts. We welcome you to be part of this journey, by giving of your time, treasure and talent.
