In a pleasant turn of events, the Nurture programme conducted by our Central Singapore Community Development Council (CS CDC) welcomed 18 new mentors. These fresh faces were not adults, but 14 year-old volunteers from Raffles Girls School (RGS) with a heart to serve.

The Nurture programme was first launched in 2007 and has since helped more than 600 children from low-income families.

Parents can enrol their children in any of the 17 Nurture Centres for programmes at an affordable cost.
