Close to 200 guests witnessed the Launch of “Bless Our City” Grant Programme at Far East Plaza Concourse on 13 May 2019.

RDSS was invited to perform our song “Love Is Not Rare” to the guests at the lauch of the the event. It was a heart-warming experience for everyone present to kick-off the “Bless Our City” Grant Programme! Through “Bless Our City”, Central Singapore CDC was able to target and help 5 communities whose needs may not be fully met in our society; namely the ex-offenders, persons with mental health issues, persons with special needs, transient workers, and vulnerable families and individuals.

CDC also hope to give strength to RDSS existing and/or upcoming work, bring attention to your causes, and ultimately, promote a more collaborative and holistic social service ecosystem.
