On 7 Dec 2024, 56 youths attended World Vision Singapore’s ninth edition of the annual Youth For Change Conference, held this year at Singapore Institute of Management. The theme of this year’s edition, “The Unequal Plate”, aimed to educate young people on the global hunger crisis and how various local and international interventions that are seeking to support and mitigate the imbalance of food access, through the sharing of World Vision’s interventions and success stories.
Many of them might not have the chance to realise how beautiful their smiles are. I genuinely wished these pictures could remind them of the support, love and friendship they had from us if they ever come across any difficult times in future. This was my first mission trip but it would not be my last.
For millions of women and girls, water isn’t just about thirst – it’s about time, opportunity, and dignity. Every day, women and children spend 125 million hours collecting water.
Our trip was both enlightening and a stark reminder that the world was not created equal. We saw first-hand how World Vision’s Area Programme Vision of holistic transformation was put into action. Not only was there a programme to provide access to education to children, there were also separate initiatives on child protection, micro-financing, health and food security, provision of clean water, and environmental protection. The multi-faceted approach clearly lifted the lives of the community, and we were privileged to see it in motion.
In November 2024, a group of 24 students and 4 teachers from Temasek Junior College partnered with World Vision and travelled to Da Nang, Vietnam with their mission in mind: To serve with the heart, for the hearts.
