Plugging this for my friend, Peixian, otherwise known as Miss Glitzy, her online moniker. Peixian is organising a charity drive to help raise funds for the Singapore Council of Women Organisations – Star Shelter, in conjunction with her blog’s first anniversary on 2nd April 2010. More information is available on Miss Glitzy’s blog or you can also read my direct copy and paste below:
The Star Shelter was set up in 1999 to help women and their children who are being abused. Women who are admitted to the shelter are aged 18-75 years old and children ranged from newborn to 10 years old for boys and no age limit for girls. Residents at the shelter form a good mix of all races and religions and all of them are referred by the Family Court, Family Service Centres, the Police, Hospitals and other agencies that run crisis helplines. Some of the beneficiaries need a place to stay when they leave their abusive relationships, as well as to be protected from their partners.
Let’s Care and Celebrate! is a campaign conceptualised by Miss Glitzy not only to commemorate the one-year blogging milestone, but to take the opportunity to spread the love by helping others in need. While we are fortunate enough to enjoy quality lifestyle and wholesome relationships, we can also contribute to the society by supporting other women to rebuild their lives and regain their confidence.
Joe & Dough, a cafe serving gourmet sandwiches and coffee at Hitachi Towers #02-05, is celebrating its first anniversary (31st March) by being part of this campaign.
Events line-up of Let’s Care and Celebrate!:
