As we bid farewell to September, we reflect on how GUI has been built through the power of community for the last 14 years. We have been lucky to have many people looking out for us, working hard to build and grow our space and impact. As we grow in numbers, we also recognise the importance of building capacity and connections among our volunteers. This month, we are piloting a series of facilitation training sessions with Youth Corps Singapore! โœจ

We are also very lucky to have been featured on Mothership (thanks to the lovely Audrey for filming!) and see many new faces in our virtual space! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผโค๏ธ

The community at GUI is not just made up of people but companies who want to do good for the environment and society. We were very lucky recently to have volunteers from Lonza Biologic Tuas help us to place keep!

Every second, penny, and sweat counts in keeping GUI going for the hundred of thousands who come here for their mental and physical well-being.

Studies have shown that being in natural spaces can be beneficial to our health. We are grateful to be able to host teachers from Tzu Chi Singapore ๆ–ฐๅŠ ๅกๆ…ˆๆตŽ Great Love Pre School recently.

"Going down to the stream was fun, the water was cooling, it was a great chance to get closer to nature and I was so amazed to see the mini waterfall as we walked to the end of the stream. - Inspired Teacher"

We are really grateful to Cayden (left) & Marcus (right). Both of them give so much care to these little creatures. What started as one, became a flock. Many arrived because they were given up on or left on the streets. They are now thriving, thanks to the love and care of our farmers and volunteers.

We also see the positive effects of these little creatures on us. Studies have shown that interacting with animals results in decreased stress, lower blood pressure, reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost mood.

Owing a pet is a big responsibility and commitment, do not acquire them on impulse. If you do, please adopt from places like F7-Friends of Seven or SPCA Singapore.

We had a zen-tastic time in the stream for Balik Kampung reflections yesterday.

We did a simple neuroscience experiment, had 5 minutes quiet time, and had some cross-sharing.

Fun fact: We are in an Earth drain, these are rare and few in Singapore. This earth drain brings water from the golf course upstream to Lower Seletar Resevior downstream.

In June, we hosted teachers and staff from Elias Park Primary School at the Kampung Kampus. The participants were exposed to environmental causes, and thereafter enabled and empowered to make simple but beautiful changes.

Some of the focus includes; (1) Food security through food production, (2) Upcycling food waste and wood waste.

Like their teachers who came before, we hosted 180, Pri 6 students from Elias Park Primary School after finishing their PSLE. Over a morning, the students were exposed, and empowered to take action for the environment via the following;

1) Upcycled waste wood into a bug's hotel
2) Learn how to produce food via microgreens
3) Uncycled orange peel waste into eco-enzyme

These are simple actions that can be replicated at home. Thank you Elias Park Pri for being a part of Good for us, Good for Earth!
