𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒇𝑮𝑼𝑰: 𝑻𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒚 & 𝒀𝒐𝒔𝒉𝒊
When I was invited to come and volunteer for Balik Kampung, I was immediately on board. And I knew the perfect person to invite - my dad. Balik Kampung felt so calming for me and my dad. Singapore is a very happening city with all of its vibrant culture. Some might find it overstimulating at times too, not being able to turn off or step away.
During our time there, having to put all of our focus on one singular task during that few hours felt so freeing. To be connected back into your body, your surroundings, and a community that you barely knew 5 minutes ago, but are now so very familiar with.
At the end of the day, we went home feeling much more rested and revitalized, which was ironic as we spent our whole morning hard at work! GUI showed us what a difference a change of environment and a welcoming community makes.

Led by Mun Chung, GUI has been very blessed over the years to have many Kampung Chefs fill the tummy of our volunteers with food and love.
Through this pay-it-forward meal, we share the following;
1) Healthy & conscious eating
2) Food waste in Singapore
3) Sustainable-living practices
4) Gratitude
5) Respect (e.g. letting the elderlies eat first)
We are constantly looking out for people keen to cook for the community. If keen, join here; https://t.me/GUInews, and comment on the post, we will be in touch with you!

We are grateful to share that together with Stanley Tools Singapore, GUI will be supporting Nee Soon Town Council in the launch of a Green Library on 22 Sep.
Together with the community, we will be creating something special using materials that are meant to be thrown away.
Fun fact: Do you know that the recycling rate of wood in Singapore is at 76% as of 2021?

August flew by in a blink of an eye. Just like how we have spent 14 years building our GUI Kampung, which we called home. 🏠
