Want to make a difference in Singaporeโ€™s last kampong community?

An initiative by WUJ, a team of volunteers will head to Pulau Ubin every last Saturday of the month to do a clean up, where the last kampong in Singapore remains. As many of the residents there are aging and have found it difficult to maintain the beauty of their kampong, they require your help to help them maintain the cleanliness of the area. In so doing, you may also uncover stories from the residents themselves, and hear about what the kampong spirit is all about!

May you put on your biggest kampong spirit and join this cause as a way of thanking the Ubin community, to provide the assistance they need.
