GUI models a way to live with our 5Gs values, and one of the Gs is Green. As such, we practice 6Rs. We believe everyone should
1) ๐Ÿ’ญRETHINK first,
2) โŒREFUSE mainstream consumption habits,
3) โ›”๏ธREDUCE wastage,
4) ๐Ÿ”REUSE items in good condition wherever possible and
5) ๐Ÿ”จREPAIR damaged items before we
6) โ™ป๏ธRECYCLE the materials. Recycling should always be the last option.
Nonetheless, happy Global Recycling Day (18 March), everyone!

Today is Earth Day (22 April). Itโ€™s 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.

GUI's beautiful organic space has been built and upkeeped by the community over the last 14 years. This has allowed hundreds of thousands of people to come to the space for their physical and mental well-being. We are very thankful to all of you, past, present, & future.

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,
โ€ข GUI continued to connect people with one another and the environment
โ€ข 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! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’š

Finally, after 3 years, GUI's full & part-time team can come together to celebrate one another and of course our nation's 57th birthday! As we sang songs like Home and ๅฐไบบ็‰ฉ็š„ๅฟƒๅฃฐ and look out into the beautiful sea and Singapore's beautiful skyline from Lazarus island, we are reminded of how far Singapore has come and how lucky we are.

May GUI have the courage and conviction of Singapore's founding generation, as we forge a path into an even brighter future.

Hi everyone, we hope all of you are well. This post is not a story about the content of the post but rather the spirit of community.

If you guys look carefully, there is a spelling error. It should be 'rely' and not 'reply'.

Once this got posted, immediate, we had 3 angels contact the social media team to inform them. We are very grateful and hearten.

Hope to see everyone more at GUI!
