Helping Beyond Borders is World Vision Singapore’s community recycling programme with the objective of improving the lives of Laos children. Its aim is to instil in Singaporean children a civic consciousness that goes beyond borders by helping them give to needy children in small but meaningful ways.
12 schools – involving both the primary and secondary schools throughout Singapore – actively engaged their students in the collection of old clothes and newspaper between the period of August to November 2009. Four specially-designed Helping Beyond Borders collection bins were placed in each school for easy collection. We collected a total of $1,460.30 from 6,600kg of newspapers and 1,942kg of old clothes.
We are pleased to announce that the top three schools for this project are:
