2021 taught me how to “deal” with situation face on. It has taught me to be confident in my work and in my abilities. It has shown me that I am stronger than I give myself credit. I am ready to face what may come in 2022! With my team and DOT, I know that 2022 will be a great year! ❤️ Nat

It has been such an enlightening year for me. I have learnt a lot about myself, my boundaries and what I am entitled to and allowed. My mission is to keep growing, to keep learning and to strive harder. I won’t let my medical condition stop me from achieving the best that I can. Biggest accomplishment this year is to finally pick up the pieces of my life and building a better & stronger me. ❤️ Nat

I'm a very bad person at any creativeness whether is it on paper or digital. But after some guidance on Canva designs, l realise it is not that hard at all. All l got to do is clear my mind, concentrate on the topic and 🤯💥 , the posters are ready.

I like to chat with people who l feel comfortable, so when l had to step up to reach out to ladies for 'Step Up' program, it was awkward and uncomfortable at first but with support and guidance from Kanak and Natalya. It was smooth sailing⛵.

Can't wait for 2022!😌

# data[].attributes.body
At first l start of with joining PUO and then was link up with Her Rise Above to start home-based business. It was going fine until something happens, and then l get the opportunity to join Greenhouse Fellowship at DOT.
I was abit lost at first cause l don't understand what and why l am here. Until l start reaching out to ladies for 'Step-Up' program, and there were stories shared by the beneficiaries by which l ask for guidance from manager/seniors and ensuring the beneficiaries get the proper help/plan.
Only then l realise that the mission DOT has is very strong and l'm pretty sure there are alot of ladies out there who need the kind of help DOT gives. Something that l will keep as my mission too, 'Empowering Ladies, Enabling Families'.

Thank you to all you beautiful ladies for understanding and being there in time when l have queries on specific situations. ROCKSTARS is like a second family to me.

You guys are amazing with the way you manage partners, balancing their needs and prioritising the women while working together with the ops team to bring in the money that fuels our work. We have fun and laugh together but we also get serious with our numbers.

Su,

Busy year! Juggling studies, family, work and your delicious lekor side biz! Thank you for being the reliable point person for the women and I look forward to seeing your contribution across to the CCN efforts soon! (need to find new coordinator la..)

Liz,

Thank you for contributing to the work of CCN all this time and now taking on the liaison with MSF too. Your courage and thoughtfulness is admirable and I just wish that your coming year will be filled with joy and wonderful memories.

Kaylee,

Thank you for taking on this "hot potato" and now with the pilot underway too - I appreciate you for how you're willing to step up to plug the gaps for the greater good of the mission even though you might prefer not to at times (e.g. learning to become the "Yoda" for salesforce)

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Joanna,

Thank you for your patience in working with me and the team. We/ I haven't been the most structured so I'm really thankful you're willing to help us become more orderly. :) Appreciate your guidance and contributions to DOT all this time.

Hey Aarathi,

I'm glad you're here and I can stop pretending to understand P&L (ok la.. I did learn along the way). But really, you've been an asset to helping us professionalize our work incrementally. Keep up the good work (and hopefully with minimal white hair along the way..)

p/s: Tapau back chee cheong fun for me boleh?

It's been an incredible journey. I remember attending one DCC graduation some years back and from listening to the graduates' speeches, certain chords struck and I began to write down some parts of my life and made an impromptu speech at the end.

I entered this work thinking of helping others but I think I've been helped/ inspired in so many different ways. Thank you to all of you for being a part of my growth journey.

Connecting with DOT stakeholders be it, staff, beneficiaries, volunteers has expanded my world view and awareness of the complexities in navigating the social sector.
I am excited to learn more and to continue to be challenged!

To the universe, I say 'Bring it on (but in small increments, please, so I have time to expand and make room for the knowledge, hehe)'!

1) Hiring is never an easy process. Glad I waited it out and now comms team is complete. Very grateful to have Jah onboard with us :)         2) Outreach for Comms and exposure nicely consistent in the mainstream, digital and social media - healthy organic growth
3) Our first #21DaughterStories as a platform to showcase and sharing of their wonderful story Definitely a lot more purposeful and impactful comms we can bring into 2022! - Brenda with "n"

Honestly, glad to be of service to the community and people around me. So thankful to be building friendships, memories and bonds with everyone, just having likeminded people on this journey - it's like a our little kampong that is growing organically day by day. - Brenda with "n"

I am grateful to have received the opportunity to actively work in the social sector with DOT, and contribute towards a cause close to my heart. #equality #equity #fairness
I am perplexed by the complexity of the circumstances surrounding DOT women and their families, and full of admiration for them as I observed their amazing capacity to overcome the challenges and do better.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you to Fannie for always supporting Comms in being such a wonderful "Princess Diana" (keep up the great work ya! winks). Then to the rest [ You know who you are la ] who got "arrow by us" to be spokesperson, media interview, collaboration on any comms related matter - we definitely couldn't have done it w/o you all. Noteworthy mention who went beyond to help us "create the media interview vibe": grateful to shikin who brought her kids and being there for the CNA  video, we are super lucky to have you be such a sport and onboard. Thank you from our bottom of our hearts! - Brenda with "n"

Dear Meredyth,
Thank you for helping me make-sense of how DOT works - lending insight of what and how DOT women are impacted by our services.
When I'm in doubt or need to test my assumptions, you help explain ideas with clarity. You are also a role model (not just with H&M, hehe) - your quiet confidence and caring communication style show me that I too can be more  thoughtful in the way I engage with people.

Best wishes, Louise

VM 1.0 was successfully launched! We made good with YOUR support!
Everything was new and so the learning curve was STEEP!
I can't pin down the number of initiatives we introduced (and updated) in 2021 but I'm glad I took part in them and they turned out ok, with opportunities for improvement as we go along.
I could not have done it without the strong support from Fannie and all the managers - Kanak, Kaylee, YJ, Cheryl, Brendan, Shubha. Thank you for your trust!

Cheers to 2022!
