Like every other year since young, my family and I made our traditional visit to my relatives in Johore Bahru (JB), Malaysia. My uncle had passed away, but his wife still continued to host our annual gathering with my mum’s 6 siblings and their families. Four of my uncles and aunties are living in JB, Muar and Port Dickson. My mum and her 2 sisters married and have been staying in Singapore.Upon

14-15 January 2010Reflections from a Trybe volunteerIt was really a blessed opportunity to be involved in the Greenview Secondary 1 Orientation. I was there as volunteer for Trybe who was organising this camp. Although my interaction with the Sec Ones was indirect, considering that my role was to assist the Peer Support Leaders (PSLs) in leading the students, there were still many opportunities

One of the first celebrations for the year, Trybe staff celebrated Dexter’s first birthday with us. Rather, it was Dexter’s birthday so it was a perfect excuse for us to put on some calories. About 15 million to be exact. Dexter turned all but 24, and we are grateful that Dexter joined us in 2009. We are even more grateful that his passion for youth development grows daily.On the same day, we
