Culture of giving

Singapore has been conducting the Singapore Cooperation Programme to train government officials from different countries for varying lengths of time. Giving back to society has become de rigeur corporate culture for many companies for years. Singapore is just being a good global citizen.

Somehow, the culture of giving back to society rings loud and clear in Singapore. People are more likely to support a company with a social cause/enterprise. Helping others in need always makes one feel good. Makes me feel good too.

What is your area of expertise? What can you contribute to others? It could be a neighbour's child who needs some extra help in schoolwork. Or helping a single mom with childcare so she can go to work and earn some money. Perhaps the new immigrant family a few doors away needs your help to get settled in. Build bridges across cultures today. Bringing over a hot meal of your favourite food is a good door opener.

In the spirit of Christmas, go bless somebody today!
