林学芬拼花被子以3.3万拍卖成交 善款赠弱势群体培训中心
前总理李光耀二媳妇、李显扬妻子林学芬,其中一幅手织作品“绽放的端庄(DIGNITY BLOOMS)”早前进行拍卖,所得将作为新加坡社会企业“厨尊”(Dignity Kitchen),旗下一座新设立培训中心的装修经费。
“厨尊”今日(26日)在官方脸书更新消息,指林学芬的手织作品,最终以3万3000元,被一名女士Geraldine Lim标得!与此同时,李显扬夫妇作一对一捐赠, 使得善款增至6万6000元。
We are delighted to announce that the winning bid for the Dignity Blooms auction was $33,000. A big thank you to Mrs….

上述拍卖活动是从本月1日开始至15日。厨尊于2010年成立,是新加坡首个结合美食的社会企业,旨在为弱势群体、障友提供培训,让他们也能参与餐饮服务,有尊严地自力更生。
不过由于疫情冲击,有更多弱势群体在找工作,使得为这些人士提供培训的需求倍增。为此厨尊增设培训中心,从民众募捐、拍卖所得,都将用在装修和添购中心的雪柜、培训课室、厨房器材等等。
林学芬除了是名律师,也擅长手工拼花创作。“绽放的端庄”正是她在阻断措施期间亲手缝制,欲向人们传达不同正能量。被子以渐层蓝色为主色,其他颜色如绿色、紫红色为辅呈现,丰富的蓝色调包括海军蓝、钴蓝和宝蓝色。
