Our Core Programmes are underpinned by the 4 pillars:
Extracurriculars
In addition to their academic pursuits, our Dreamers engage in a diverse range of extracurricular activities aimed at enriching their overall educational experience.
These activities include participation in international mentorship programs, leadership initiatives, and active involvement in community projects. Such engagements provide our Dreamers with valuable opportunities to develop essential life skills, cultivate leadership qualities, and foster a sense of social responsibility, thereby nurturing self-sufficient and responsible citizens.
Community Engagement
At the heart of our support system lies a robust Community Engagement initiative, which serves as a vital link between our beneficiaries, their families, and the broader community. Recognizing the importance of community involvement in fostering holistic development, we prioritize meaningful interactions and partnerships. Our beneficiaries, along with their parents who form an integral part of our community network, are actively engaged in various initiatives aimed at enhancing community well-being. One such initiative is our Garden project, forged through a strategic partnership with the Land Bank.
Cultural Experience
At the core of our support framework lies a commitment to fostering a rich and vibrant Cultural Experience for our beneficiaries, centered on celebrating and preserving their heritage. Through a variety of traditional initiatives, we actively engage our beneficiaries in cultural activities that instill a sense of pride and connection to their roots. This includes encouraging participation in cultural dances, in-school farming education and hand beading work-traditional craft.
Health and Wellness
Our commitment to the holistic well-being of our beneficiaries extends to a comprehensive Health and Wellness support system, encompassing various essential aspects. We ensure the physical health of our beneficiaries by providing daily nutritious meals and facilitating regular doctor's check-ups, including necessary referrals to specialists when needed. Additionally, we prioritize their mental and emotional well-being through counselling support, offering a safe space for them to express themselves and receive guidance. Health education is also integrated into our program, empowering beneficiaries with knowledge about nutrition, hygiene, and disease prevention. Through these initiatives, we aim to not only address immediate health needs but also instil lifelong habits for enduring well-being.
