Hazlina Abdul Halim (Hazlina) who is effectively bilingual in English and Malay, is a familiar news presenter for Mediacorp's 938LIVE and SURIA. Being ad avid reader and linguistically inclined from young, she received accolades and won numerous book prizes in primary and secondary school, with honours in debates and oratorical competitions.

Hazlina spent five years in Perth, Western Australia, finding out how other communities lived their lives. While there, she had garnered several degrees - a Master of Film and Television with Distinction from Curtin University of Technology and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and Political Science from the University of Western Australia.

Upon her return to Singapore, Hazlina went on to lecture in Communications and Media Management ("CMM") at Temasek Polytechnic where she spent three years moulding future media professionals. At Temasek Polytechnic, Hazlina was involved in a number of projects. One of which is for READ! Singapore 2013 where she narrated the audio version of the anthology, Under One Sky; one of READ! Singapore's launch titles.

Another significant project was the collaboration between CMM lecturers and 938LIVE where the final year CMM Diploma students of Broadcast Journalism produced a series called "They Are Making A Difference" as their assignment. Hazlina, together with the CMM lecturers and representatives from 938LIVE evaluated and chose the best 13 capsules to be aired on radio.

In 2014, Hazlina returned to the world of journalism at Channel News Asia's Singapore Desk. She is currently the Assignments Editor.

. I had been placing my first child to my third in GCDC since 2009. They had been well taken care by the teachers there. I had chosen GCDC because I feel safe and secure sending my little ones there. The centre provides only HALAL food. They also provide tight temperature taking and checking before the children enters the school to prevent infections. The centre is clean & tidy. The teachers in GCDC are experienced and qualified. I feel secure sending my child to the infantcare because the teachers are patience and well trained in handling babies.

This focus group was officially given GC status last school year. We have secured a new partnership with the Free The Bears NGO based 1 hour drive from Phnom Phen, Cambodia. This grassroots organisation is working towards protecting the sunbear, the smallest bear species and best tree climber, sadly at risk due to human activity within the rainforest, tourism, palm oil industry, bear bile medicine trade, the pet trade and other negative factors. Sunbears are often found in appalling conditions and are in dreadful health when rescued, by conservation groups. The GC will learn how the NGO supports the health, rehabilitation, and releasing of sunbears, as well as education about the activities putting them at risk, and actions to prevent this. In MS there is an annual trip to Cambodia for our students to visit many of our GC partners, on this trip, students, parents and teacher trip leaders will have the opportunity to visit  Free the Bears and undertake hands on work at their conservation centre.

Middle School students partner with NGO i-India in Jaipur, India, to help street children by fulfilling their long-term need for education, skills and emotional support,  in addition to short-term nutrition, health and shelter requirements.

Since 1993, i-india, an ngo (non profit) based in Jaipur, India, has been working for the welfare and educational needs of street children. These children have fallen through society's cracks. In Jaipur, where i-india works, the problem is chronic. Street children are forced to do work including rag-picking, begging, prostitution and domestic labour. i-india offers the children the opportunity to work in a different way through the production of jewellery and handicrafts while providing a safe environment amongst teachers, staff and volunteers.

I-india began as the vision of two people, a Sociology professor, and a local teacher, Prabhakar and Abha Goswami, both passionate about the rights of street children. It began with voluntary teaching in the slums. Every year i-india an NGO in Jaipur, India- improves the lives of approx. 4000 street children in Jaipur and around India, through its programmes including homes, vocational and academic teaching, street schools, medical care, and sanitation. Many foreign volunteers also come each year to teach English, Math, Dance, etc, or provide administrative support.

Many street children come to the centre through the phone support service, Child Line, or through our outreach staff at railway stations. Once a child has been housed in one of i-india's homes, trained staff and teachers assist them with their emotional and academic education.

One of the main sources of income for i-india is generated from the production of jewellery and accessories made by the children. The jewellery is of superb quality, and you can buy it knowing that the proceeds are funding i-india's projects. The jewellery and handicrafts provide the child with income, as well as the valuable vocational skills of jewellery making for the girls and sewing for the boys.

Through these programmes, and the dedication of the teachers, staff and volunteers, children gain confidence, social values and most importantly, skills which will carry them further in life. If you'd like to help i-india through voluntary work, donating or buying our products, please contact us!

 Kampot Khmer GC partners with Chumkriel Language School (CLS) in Kampot, Cambodia. CLS provides english classes, computer skills, vocational training, health care, food security and assistance with shelter building for children and their families trapped in poverty in the community. CLS aims to provide a holistic education, allowing the children to learn arts and sports as well as other 21st Century Skills. They also run a soup kitchen, health programmes, an organic farm, dance classes, and basketball and football programmes to support community needs and wellbeing.

Both Middle School and High School sections of Kampot Khmer GC aim to support high quality teaching and learning at CLS. In this regard we sponsor two evening teacher salaries, support teacher professional learning opportunities and provide scholarships to enable 30 students from the salt fields and Chumkriel community to attend school with all the necessary resources. The relationship that UWCSEA has with these scholars is a long term partnership, enabling access to education that helps these children break the cycle of poverty whilst at the same time deepening our friendship. 

Students, staff and parents visit CLS each year. A major focus for such visits are leading literacy, numeracy, sports, arts and craft activities with the children as well as offering opportunities for English language development and confidence building activities. We also revisit scholarship families to stay connected and repair or refurbish their homes, which are often in poor states of repair due to their poor economic situation.

Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation is an NGO whose mission is to help out street kids, children with disabilities, rural children living in extreme poverty and victims of human trafficking and slavery in Hanoi, Vietnam. Led by a team of active and passionate social workers, psychologists, teachers and even lawyers, Blue Dragon has been able to make incredible progress in Vietnam by providing these children with education and health care while also rescuing and providing counselling for trafficked victims. Saving over 1000 human trafficked victims in South-East Asia and helping out with legal advocacy and safe sheltering, Blue Dragons has been focused on working towards SDGs 10 and 16.

As a GC we work towards two main goals. One is fundraising to support Blue Dragon and their projects, and a second is to give Blue Dragon children a chance to come to Singapore and interact with us and our community. This also gives us the chance to see the people that we are helping and share in reciprocal learning experiences. Additionally, while they are here we involve them in our community by performing in joint events, such as a circus with our East circus group and Dover’s talent show.

Daraja Academy helps women and girls in Kenya by providing them with an education. Their mission is to educate and empower girls from poverty to become community leaders. Without secondary education, the girls are often sent into premature marriages and pregnancies. Daraja believes education is the bridge out of poverty hence the name ‘Daraja which means ‘bridge’.

This Global Concern aims to raise awareness and advocate for gender equality and girl’s education. This is in line with SGD 4 (Quality Education) and SGD 5 (Gender equality). We take part in annual activities such as Run for Rights, product selling at Family Festival and WISH classes in order to raise funds and advocate for Daraja in the UWCSEA community. The GC spends time finding new ways to communicate both directly and indirectly with the girls at Daraja. The GC implements more direct methods of communication with the girls such as Skype calls, pen pal letters and the annual Daraja service trip.
