When I am in professional mode,
I run on different premises and
motivations.But,left to my own
devices, I will freewheel and
wander between a slew of
part-time obsessions.
Although few great
accomplishments have
ever been achieved ; i seek
support from those whose talents
exceed your own.An optimistic
person that seems enthusiastic
about life and living..a good
conversationalist.

This project is called " WeCare for U".It is to help single mothers who are likely to face a tough time in the current downturn, to get help in finding a job. It reaches help to divorcees, widows and other single mothers who not only have a tougher time juggling work and family but find it hard to get help.It allows them to be able to join support groups that arrange activities for them and their children in these trying times.
Apart from helping those out of work to find jobs, NTUC's Women's Development Secretariat (WDS) will encourage those who cannot go out to work to make use of other skills, such as baking or sewing, so as to help themselves to generate an income.This is because they lack of steady source of income which is one of the greatest difficulties experience for the single mums.Also, the WDS is working with the Law Society of Singapore to produce a comprehensive guidebook for single mothers to teach them how and where to find legal help.
Q2) Imagine you come across a single mum who is unemployed, what are some advice you can give her? Who can she turn to?
Being a single mum is not easy as one must take the role of a father and mother.They have to work and at the same time, take care of their children without the support from their husbands.They are the only sole breadwinner. If i meet a single mum who is unemployed, i would try to find various supporting organisations/ groups that help them in finding them a suitable job with a pay that is manageable to support the family and also some emotional support to prevent her from being stress. Also, i would encourage her and tell her that she is not alone, and there is always people around you to help. This is to ensure that she carries an important role in her family and therefore can make her less likely to give up boosting her confidence level. I would also suggest her to comfront her family about her problems encountered as they are the closest kin with her. They will understand her better than anyone else does.
