Shinmin Daily Shines Light on Our Upcoming Gala! We’re deeply touched by Shinmin Daily’s thoughtful feature about our "SG60 Threads of Unity" Charity Gala, published on 30 June. Their preview beautifully captures what makes this Saturday’s event special: the coming together of generations, from children to seniors, alongside therapy animals and volunteers. Reading how they described our participants – youth facing challenges, elders, families, and devoted pet owners – reminded us why we do this work. It’s that rare chance to celebrate shared humanity on one stage.

The article gently underscores how programmes like Healing Paws and "Mai Gong Bo Jio" form the heart of HUG Community. Shinmin Daily’s mention of Angeline Tan and her Golden Retriever Latte – who helped an anxious senior overcome her fear of dogs – reflects the quiet magic we see daily. We’re also grateful they highlighted the practical realities: Grace Yeo's honest words about coordinating "furry companions" alongside people, and how local brand AMS EIN wove public wishes for Singapore into meaningful SG60 garments.

With tickets sold out and hopes set on raising $250,000 for our Toa Payoh centre, this feature means more than publicity. It shows Singapore how community is built – through patience, small acts of connection, and believing everyone belongs. As we welcome Senior Minister Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim and guests this Saturday, we carry Shinmin Daily’s recognition with quiet pride.
