Throwback to when NUS Computing alumni Laurence Putra Franslay started Project Stable Staples during the circuit breaker period in 2020, an initiative that helps raise funds for Singaporeans living in rental communities. Laurence and his team raised over S$160,000, which was then used to purchase essentials such as food and groceries for Singaporeans struggling during the circuit breaker.
It's been some time since we left the circuit breaker period, but Laurence and his team are still running Project Stable Staples to this day, and going the extra mile by assisting these families with job searches. Well done, Laurence!👏💪
