TO SERVE
Desmond Lee, Minister of Education (prev. Minister of Social and Family Development)
When like-minded people come together with different perspectives but wanting to co-create new spaces and implement new ideas, they will be fully invested in the project. Because they are not giving views, they are not giving suggestions for other people to take up; they are themselves front and center in making it succeed.
TESTIMONIALS:
Winnie Lim, Volunteer
GUI is unique because it is not just about growing our connection to nature, it is essentially growing our connection with each other, and perhaps, more importantly: to ourselves. GUI matters to me because I want to be a human being who is hopeful towards a future where we … understand our intricate connections and inter-dependency towards our environment.
