1 Teens on a Mission

Already have your wish list ready for the holiday season? Unfortunately not every child in Singapore is able to get a gift in December. Do you want to help change this and join in preparing a cool gift for a less privileged child aged 5-9 this holiday season?

Dutch teens that want to make a difference can join a wood workshop on the 27^th of November to build an Eco Warrior Hero for the less privileged children.

2 Books for Joy

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”— Dr. Seuss

Wondering what to do with your kids pre-loved books they no longer read? Why not pass them on to children in Singapore which hardly get to read a book.

Please help the NCA with our Books for Joy donation drive by dropping of your books at the Hollandse Club.

5 Dine and Donate

We are teaming up with Diningcity, and are launching a special “Dine and Donate” event. Wouldn’t it be great if you can enjoy a diner with your friend(s), and at the same contribute to a festive diner for someone in need: Between 1 and 19 December you can order 1 specially curated set menu at one of the participating restaurants for yourself and donate the equivalent value to NCA. With this donation, we will order special bento sets during Christmas time, for migrant workers who have been sheltered by H.O.M.E. Find out more by clicking here
