Epworth Community Services had the honour to host President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Ms Jane Ittogi on their visit on Epworth’s centres this week on 20 February 2024.
President Tharman and Mrs Tharman visited Epworth’s Literacy Centre (Jurong West) which runs early intervention programmes for children with learning needs. They had an opportunity to chat with a few of the children during their intervention classes.
They also visited Epworth’s Centre for Positive Recovery (CPR), which works with children and youths to help them heal from their adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) through trauma-informed therapy.
We really appreciated President Tharman’s support through his visit as Epworth Community Services continues to help the less privileged and underserved communities in Singapore.
For me, it was such an honour to be part of Epworth’s host team! It has been a blessing to serve with Epworth in various capacities in the past two years. I just did not imagine that it would lead to meeting President Tharman and Mrs Tharman! They were both so warm and friendly to everyone, which created a relaxed atmosphere through their visit.
Epworth staff present that day were hoping for a photo with President Tharman and Mrs Tharman at the end of their visit, which they readily agreed to!
