A hearty breakfast

World Change Agents from Blessings in a Bag, a non-profit charity project and volunteers from the Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) will distribute morning snacks in various parts of Singapore in an ambitious project titled ‘One Week of Awesome'. From 18-22 June, more than 50 volunteers will be at Raffles Place, Dhoby Ghaut and Mandarin Gallery giving out Boncafe coffee, Mr Bean vouchers, Pokka drinks and cupcakes, among other treats. The campaign aims to bring an act of kindness to life each and every day of one week. The activation will be carried out by youth volunteers to inspire their peers to be kinder and more gracious to one another.
