Our 2nd upcoming event will be a
fundraising event! This is regarding Project Poverty Living Around You (PLAY),
which SSWS has adopted. Project PLAY is
a project initiated by Social Work undergraduates, which includes a theatre
production and an exhibition to tackle the issue of poverty in Singapore.
Hence, the objective of this event is to raise funds through the collection of
newspaper so as to launch this project. We really hope you could join us in our
Newspaper Collection / Flyer Distribution to raise funds! You can sign up at

We really hope you will join us because we need your
help to make project PLAY possible! ( :

have piloted the first Inter-Professional Education (IPE) together with the
Nursing Faculty students and are currently embarking on this exciting journey
in implementing a project entitled Project H3: Heads,
Hands, Hearts! It

backgrounds. H3 will last over 2 days, 31st August and 7th September 2013:
