Wishing a peaceful and blessed Vesak Day to everyone celebrating! 🪷🕊️✨

Vesak Day is a beautiful reminder of the timeless values of compassion, peace, and universal goodwill. It encourages us to look beyond ourselves, reflect on our actions, and extend a helping hand to those around us.

At Make The Change, these values sit at the very heart of what we do. We believe that small, mindful acts of kindness can create a massive wave of positive social impact in our communities.

May this sacred day bring harmony, joy, and light to you and your loved ones. Let’s continue to build a more empathetic and inclusive world together! 🌍💪⭐️

On 17th March, our Youth For Change cohort had the incredible privilege of hosting an inspiring guest speaker session with Peh Yin Yee, the Executive Director of Oogachaga. As a dedicated social worker and passionate advocate for inclusivity, Yin Yee brought an invaluable ”heart-first“ perspective to our workshop.

Her journey is a powerful masterclass in empathy, resilience, and true self-leadership. Her profound reflections on moving from an ”ally“ to feeling like an inseparable part of the collective completely reshaped how our young changemakers view community building and social impact. Yin Yee beautifully reminded us that while differences can sometimes separate us, we are ultimately united by the common ideals of respect and compassion.

A massive thank you to Yin Yee for her vulnerability and for inspiring the next generation of youth to lead with kindness! 🙌✨❤️‍🩹

This joyous occasion, also known as Eid al-Adha, is a reminder of the core values that bring communities closer together—faith, compassion, and the spirit of selflessness.

Earlier this March, our Youth For Change cohort hosted an amazing guest speaker session with Goh Boon Siong, a dedicated social worker and youth-at-risk intervention specialist at YGOS.

Boon Siong’s journey is a masterclass in resilience. After failing his O-levels with 38 points, he refused to let a test score define his path. Instead, he found his calling in youth work, proving that you always have the power to rewrite your own chapters. His profound stories on the power of community, mentorship, and making time for others completely shifted how our young changemakers look at social impact.

A massive thank you to Boon Siong for sharing his heart, his authenticity, and inspiring the next generation to lead with empathy. 🙌✨

In November 2025, we had two batches of students from Zhenghua Secondary School participating our Young Changemaker Programme.🌟 Over the course of two weeks, these students dived headfirst into the world of social impact, bringing a refreshing mix of compassion and creativity to the MTC team.

From exploring how inclusive employment works at to documentating the action at our Social Innovation Hackathon at Apple, these changemakers were busy making a difference! Whether they were learning how to better support Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) or facilitating video production for younger students, their dedication to building a more inclusive community was truly inspiring. 👏

”This internship helped me get out of my comfort zone and truly empathise with people from all walks of life,“ shared from our interns. It’s heartening to see these young leaders grow in confidence, communication, and heart! 🤩
