Misi Kami Peduli (MKP, meaning 'Mission We Care'), a student‑led PINUS initiative at NUS, received the NUS Achievement Awards (NAA) Merit Award for Community Service in 2025. Guided by a mission to widen education and development gaps in Indonesian villages, a 21‑member team went to Nias in December 2024, installing a solar‑powered irrigation system for farming households, enhancing a children’s library, and running a digital literacy case competition for university students.

Did you know that about 1 in 4 students report poor sleep quality? Poor sleep quality is linked with higher risk of depression and anxiety. It is also associated with 2.4× higher odds of elevated stress.
Better sleep, better you:
✅ Optimise your sleep space: keep it cool, dark, and quiet (fan, eye mask, earplugs, white noise)
🛏️ Reserve the bed for sleep: avoid studying or watching shows in bed
🌙 Wind down: 30–60 mins of low-light, low-stimulation routine before sleep
📱 Tame late-night screens: Night Shift/blue light filters; phone off the pillow
⏰ Stay consistent: regular sleep/wake times—even on weekends
Look out for friends: 🤝 If your peers aren’t sleeping well, check in. If they’re facing anxiety or low mood, encourage them to seek support.
This is the second of a three-part campaign series. For more information about the survey or care tips, contact studentwellness@nus.edu.sg
