Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s Post

I vividly remember visiting an orphanage home with around 100 children, aged 8 to 13, under the care of the Kwara State Government. Walking in, I felt a mix of happiness and sadness ,happy to see the children playing and laughing, yet sad thinking about their circumstances. One of my most fulfilling experiences was co-leading the Satara Initiatives - Make a Child Smile (#MACS) project, alongside #Jummy, under the initiative owned by Adebukola Adewoyin. I used my sewing skills to create nose masks for these little angels, and it brought me immense joy. But it also made me think deeply: 🩸What did these innocent children do to deserve this? 🩸How will they be treated when they grow up and face the world? These thoughts stayed with me, reminding me of the care, love, and attention every child deserves but may not always receive. Visiting the orphanage was a life-changing experience, one that made me truly appreciate the little things in life. Through this project, I was not just a volunteer; I was part of something bigger,a movement to bring smiles to those who need it most. Let us not just talk about change ,let’s make it happen. The smiles we create today will shape the leaders of tomorrow. Happy International Youth Day! From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development. This year’s theme resonates with our collective efforts to empower the younger generation, ensuring that they are equipped with the digital skills necessary to drive sustainable development. Let’s continue to support initiatives that provide our youth with the tools they need to build a brighter future How will you make a difference? #CommunityEngagement #Volunteering #SaveAChild #HelpAChild #NoGivingIsSmall #ChangeTheWorld #ChildrenAreLeaders #GivingIsTheKey #SataraInitiative #InternationalYouthDay

Tunde Onakoya has shown us that there is dignity in not only thinking about oneself, rather in living a life to help others. It is that time of the year again where we call unto young minds with the heart to contribute to development in their communities #Volunteering always begins in the heart before extending to the hands and legs (and maybe purse😀) But one thing is certain, volunteering is the only way to build our communities, contribute to the betterment of the lives of those around us especially indigent and underserved children and communities. From personal experience, I have come to see that volunteering does not only benefit others, there’s an unending outline of benefits it portends even to the volunteer themselves. From career develop, access to mentors, CV boost, traveling opportunities to scholarship opportunities et ce tera.

Reflecting on my transformative experience with the ILSS - India Leaders for Social Sector Fundraising course, I've come to understand that fundraising is not just about money—it's about inviting others to join a cause they passionately believe in. Over the past 10 days, the support for our fundraiser has been heartwarming. Whether through contributions or spreading the word, each action reinforced our mission. Yet, amidst this progress, I'm left pondering: in a world that celebrates vast social networks, why do causes like ours still struggle to connect with the right people? I invite you all to join this conversation. How can we ensure that impactful initiatives reach those who resonate with them most? Whether you have insights to share or are inspired to contribute, your contribution matters. Comment below or please do connect with me to brainstorm ideas. #Fundraising #SocialImpact #ILSS #JoinTheCause #CommunityEngagement

1000+ kids to corporates so far! This is our way of revolutionizing education for financially poor children! Imagine a kid crossing big glassed buildings every day while walking to their school. They wonder what is inside. The security does not allow them inside the building. They look at the building every day as if it is a wonder. They dream of entering such big corporate buildings one day. Team Everest NGO's 'Kids @ Corporate' initiative fulfils their dreams. We take a group of financially poor kids to Corporates to help them dream big. Kids enjoy a full tour inside and around the office campus. They witness how a workplace is. They awe at the cafeteria and snack vending machines. We engage them in various skills building & creativity enabling activities. Corporate volunteers share their experiences with the kids and also do a mini career awareness session. "I didn't know girls could work in big companies,” one of the girl children whom we took to a corporate said. Schools give them knowledge. Kids @ Corporate gives them motivation and dreams. If your company wants to inspire kids and spark a dream in them, partner with Team Everest NGO for 'Kids @ Corporate' initiative.

National No One Eats Alone Day is a compassionate initiative aimed at combating social isolation and promoting inclusion within schools and communities. This day encourages students to reach out and make sure no one eats lunch alone in the school cafeteria. It emphasizes the importance of kindness, empathy, and friendship by fostering an environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued. The concept behind National No One Eats Alone Day originated from Beyond Differences, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending social isolation among young people. The day serves as a reminder that simple gestures of inclusion can have a profound impact on individuals' emotional well-being and overall sense of belonging. Schools across the country participate in various activities on this day to raise awareness about the harmful effects of social isolation and to promote a culture of inclusivity. These activities may include organized lunchtime events, educational assemblies, and discussions focused on empathy and acceptance. #NoOneEatsAlone #InclusionMatters #EndSocialIsolation #KindnessCounts #EmpathyInAction #LunchtimeCompanionship #UnityInDiversity #TogetherWeDine #SpreadLoveNotIsolation #CommunityConnections
