Singapore Project V: Empowering Young Minds for a Greener Future

In today’s world, environmental conservation is more crucial than ever. Educating children about the importance of saving the Earth and engaging them in recycling projects can foster a sense of responsibility and stewardship for the planet. OMS has thus teamed up with Big Heart Student Care to amplify these efforts, creating a supportive network that encourages sustainable practices from a young age. 

OMS volunteers went around 6 different Big Heart Student Care Centres, to share with the various students the importance of saving Mother Earth, followed by a collaborative upcycling project – where we upcycle used T-shirts into tote bags.  

Partnering with the community to educate children about saving the Earth and engaging them in recycling projects is a powerful way to promote environmental stewardship. By working together, we can create a supportive network that encourages sustainable practices and helps children develop a lifelong commitment to protecting our planet. Through education, collaboration, and hands-on activities, we can inspire the next generation to take action for a greener future.

OMS also aligned with its Global CSR philosophy, “For Every Child, An Education,” by engaging in activities that supported educational development and community impact.

Sustaining Hope at Ban Klong Yang School, Sattahip, Thailand

For FY2024, our team returned to assist Ban Klong Yang School in Ban Thong District, Chonburi, subsequent to our initial support in 2019. ​

​The school, with 55 students and 10 teachers, continue to face significant challenges. The children’s family are mostly from agricultural background and hence, the school is located far from community centres and development hubs, which often limits the ability of local agencies to provide assistance or funding. This year, we had the privilege of contributing to the well-being of both the students and the staff by helping to improve their living conditions and educational opportunities and ensuring they have a better chance for growth despite the challenges of being in a remote area.

The activities our company undertook are as follows:​

Library Creation​: We reorganized the library by providing learning materials and donating books, desks ​and chairs to students.

Creating a Vegetable Garden: ​​We worked together to create a vegetable garden on the school grounds so that students can learn about agriculture and plant cultivation.

Installed a water pump for the school : ​We installed a water pump for the school, as the current water source comes from a canal, which is often dirty and insufficient during the dry season. To address this issue, we proceeded with the installation of a new water system to ensure that the school has access to clean and reliable groundwater. ​

Preparing Meals for Students: We helped to prepare nutritional lunches for the students.

Recreational activities and scholarships: We organized various recreational activities for the students in collaboration with our staffs. This provides them with opportunities to relax, have fun, and build positive relationships between the students and staff, beyond their classroom learning. Additionally, we provided scholarships to all the students to support their education.
