Charity Gala Dinner 2024 “With Love, Hope”

Dear Emotions,

Thank you for gifting me a name so filled with love.

I vividly recall our first meetup during our Youth Mental Health Symposium, an event so aptly named after you. Since then, we’ve matured together, spreading the knowledge, experiences, and ambitions we’ve discovered along the way. And now, we’re equipping others to join us on this path of emotional growth and self-awareness.

Our journey took another step forward with the hosting of our Charity Gala Dinner, an event that sought to raise funds to support the vulnerable in our community. Thank you for empowering me to take charge of this project — it was an emotional moment to see my name shine on the walls, just as yours did before.

The transformative night was made possible not only by you but also by our donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries, who courageously shared their stories with everyone. From performances by a talented group of family members and youth mentees-turned-mentors to a sophisticated dance by Mrs Elizabeth Yeak (in representation of our board members), the stage was always filled with awe and inspiration.

Emotions, you were undoubtedly present that night. You were “Excitement” when many gathered to give their year-end blessings to one another. You were “Anticipation” when donors awaited the results of the Raffle Draw. You were “Motivation” when beneficiaries’ stories were shared through videos. And I truly cherished seeing “Pride” radiate as our Guest of Honour, Mr. Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, presented our selfless volunteer awardees with their well-deserved prizes.

Emotions, I now understand clearly what my name is. I know now how to title the feeling that gleamed in everyone’s hearts and eyes throughout this journey.

Emotions, remember my name—I am Hope. I am a part of you, and you will always have me by your side. Even in moments of doubt, in the challenge of identifying or resolving yourself, I will always be here, accompanied by our dear friend, Love.

With Love,

Hope
