Today’s celebration has blown my mind! I think partnerships are the form of friendships that and lay the foundation of anything that we’re doing. It brings the fun elements of fundraising ... We managed to raise $2800 and even more for Daughters of Tomorrow and Sewing Moms.

Wow! The event today was beautiful, nothing short of spectacular. For me, the most important part of this is that it’s not only people coming together, there is something that they are doing beyond just being here tonight that will contribute in building a better Singapore.
Charlotte Lobe
High Commissioner of the Republic of South Africa
The sense I got was that we were pushing a little bit just slightly outside the comfort zones of everybody. There was a certain sense of being able to talk about stuff which was perhaps what you wouldn’t have talked about at an event with people you didn’t know. It’s a good start, definitely.

Today we really opened up a lot of honest and open conversations that we don’t really have in Singapore. I think that's really refreshing and that’s just the start of something. Everyone here has the same issues that they feel very close to in their hearts and there is power in being given a voice.
Dawn Tay
