Today is the eve of the Chinese New Year (้คๅคchรบ xฤซ) when most of the Chinese families will be having the reunion dinners. The traditional Chinese believe that the reunion dinner (ๅขๅ้ฅญ tuรกn yuรกn fร n) is the most important meal of the year as it signifies solidarity of a family, as well as its cohesiveness.
Family connectedness is the overarching theme of Chinese New Year. Therefore, if you are unable to go home or if anyone in your family is unable to come back for the reunion dinner, we urge you to take some time to stay connected with your family through video calls.
On another note, the Kampung Kampus will be closed from 31 Jan to 4 Feb as part of the festivities ๐งง. We would like to thank our volunteers for helping us to water the plants and to feed the chickens during this period! ๐
We wish those who celebrate the Chinese New Year โGong Xi Fa Caiโ and happy holidays to everyone! ๆญ็ฅๅคงๅฎถ่ๅนดๅ็ฅฅใไธไบๅฆๆใๅฟซไน่ท้ใๅฅๅบทๅธธๅจ๏ผ๐๐

Today is Earth Day (22 April). Itโs also our 14th birthday!
Last Saturday, we celebrated our birthday in advance by inviting a group of elderly to our kampung to join us in our give-back celebration. We could tell that the elderly were truly happy through their smiles and words of appreciation.
This would not have been possible without Mr Chua Wah Ann and his dedicated team of Project Starfish volunteers. Their generosity makes us rich with love that we want to spread and reach out to more communities in need.
GUI is eternally grateful to the heartfelt support and gracious help from so many people whom we have connected with. May this be a reminder for us to continue to show care for one another as we celebrate another trip made around the sun.

July was a month to Connect!
In the early years of GUI, our late founder, Mr Tay Lai Hock, shared that we were but one tree, and that for us to succeed in even making a dent in the climate crisis, we will need many trees, thus forming a large forest.
In the month of July 2022,
โข GUI continued to connect people with one another and the environment
โข We are working hard to look for a new space as our lease will be ending soon. *Stay tuned to our updates!*
We like to thank you for your support and encouragement! ๐ช๐ป๐
