Valen left the private sector in 2015 to take up a role in the social service sector. In the spirit of lifelong learning and to develop a stronger theoretical foundation of the sector, she decided to pursue a degree in Social Work at Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). With the support of SUSS, she started Social Gifting and she hopes to provide passive income / meaningful activities to people who are unable to leave home due to caregiving duties or physical constraints. Together with Lions Befrienders, Social Gifting enabled over a hundred beneficiaries from Senior Activity Centres to commemorate National Grandparents Day 2019 and set up a booth for them to participate in meaningful activities at Short Street. #DoingGoodTogether

Gurdip was a businessman in the travel industry for over 40 years. Retirement came as a surprise for him given that he had the same job at the same location with the same structure all those years. With the time he had after retirement, he wanted to make good use of it to do something meaningful. Together with other senior volunteers at RSVP Singapore, Gurdip has been volunteering actively at locations such as Changi Airport, Singapore Art Museum & Wisma Geylang Serai Heritage Gallery. He believes that volunteering is a journey and in his own words, “What you get in return from volunteering is this amazing feeling that you cannot get elsewhere”. #DoingGoodTogether

Ad-hoc Notice (By @WeFeedback): If you would like to hear from Gurdip and other passionate individuals from all walks of life, here is a sample of the recent Meaningful Sunday and see you at the upcoming Meaningful Sunday on December 6, as part of Giving Week 2020.

While Giving Week has ended, a long journey of #DoingGoodTogether has begun. Regardless of the destination, this journey will build a shared reality for all of us in Singapore instead of dividing us with a fragmented reality as seen in many other countries.

Our core values provide a glimpse of how a partner network of organisations, beneficiaries, sponsors, and volunteers are working together since COVID-19. These values are Communication, Consultation, Collaboration, Co-creation, and Commemoration.

As the partner network continues to grow exponentially, the values lie at the heart of every decision and action that could impact communities globally.

The Job & Economic Transition (JET) scheme is a solution from the ground up. The purpose is to co-create at least 2000 new jobs for Self-Employed Persons (SEPs).

This scheme supports SEPs via 2 tracks, namely the SOAR track and the FUEL track.

1) SOAR: Self-employment Opportunity, Assurance & Resource

The SOAR track is targeted at SEPs seeking self-employment opportunities (Contract for Service).

2) FUEL: Facilitate Upward Employability & Livelihood

The FUEL track is targeted at SEPs seeking full-time permanent employment (Contract of Service).

This solution is complemented by advancements in financial infrastructure such as Purpose Bound Money (PBM) under Project Orchid, a multi-year, multi-phase exploratory project of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
​​​​​​Today, we live with an outdated philosophy, that either peace or war is the only reality.

As more countries choose war and not peace anymore, we are our own downfall.

Here is a call for a new philosophy, to serve younger generations in the 21st century.

For the benefit of future generations, we will publish the philosophy of World Together, driven by its purpose of creating new jobs and fostering economic growth through sustainable development.

Together, we can.
