Inner Wheel Club of Singapore Central

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today we did just that.. with children at Sunbeam Place ( Children’s Society) a residential home for abused n neglected children , and for children who need protection, or for parents who are unable to provide care.

This tie and dye activity at Sunbeam Place was sponsored by our club

Our club members took part in an extremely interactive training event organised by District 332 on 14 March 2026

We celebrated Chinese New Year today with residents of SCWO’s Star Shelter, sharing a joyful Lo Hei, yummy food, and a fun “Tail the Horse” game loved by both mums and children. A lively Chinese New Year quiz followed. The residents had a wonderful time—and so did we. Grateful for the smiles and togetherness.

SCWO's President Forum on 28 Feb 2026 brought together inspiring individuals and fostered meaningful connections.

Today , we visited AWWA’s Kindle Garden, Singapore’s first inclusive preschool, accompanied by our District Chairman, Rati Asrani. The visit aimed to observe the centre’s inclusive pedagogy and facilities, learn about evidence‑based practices, and strengthen our club’s partnership with organisations addressing unmet community needs. During the visit we presented a donation of S$1,500 to support Kindle Garden’s programmes.

Our observations on our previous visits highlighted several strengths. The curriculum is seamlessly integrated into daily routines and play, promoting natural language acquisition alongside cognitive growth. Educators demonstrated warm, responsive interactions and encouraged independence, curiosity, and problem solving. Purposeful facilities—including sensory corners, visual supports, and accessible play equipment—reflect a clear commitment to creating welcoming environments for children with diverse needs. Staff emphasised social‑emotional learning alongside academic readiness, preparing children holistically for the transition to primary school.

The presence of our DC reinforced IWCSC’s commitment to supporting such initiatives. Kindle Garden exemplifies an organisation providing vital early intervention and inclusive education to vulnerable families. Our donation is intended to bolster programme resources and accessibility enhancements while signalling ongoing partnership.

This was a very fulfilling project for our club. Seeing the tangible impact of inclusive practice and meeting dedicated educators strengthened our resolve to continue identifying and supporting organisations slipping through the cracks through volunteerism, advocacy, and sustained collaboration
