Mummy Yummy与社区中心办关怀活动 拉近距离建立互信关系
本地素食摊兼志愿组织Mummy Yummy展开滑铁卢街项目（Project Waterloo Street），和惹兰勿刹社会服务中心官员一起展开关怀活动，帮助当地有需要的特殊协助或公共援助的老人家。 Mummy Yummy今午（11月24日）在脸书上发文指出，他们和社会服务中心的官员一起展开与民交流活动，分享他们和人们接触、沟通以及获取数据的方法。 贴文中也见他们附上不少在活动中，和当地老人家或行动不便者的合照。 “如何让这些老人家在没有压力的情况下，愿意向我们开口并分享他们的难处。最重要的是，这可以建立一个紧密的联系，让我们在和社区服务中心官保持友好关系的同时，可以将我们挑选的个案，交给当局进行有效筛查和提供公共援助。” Mummy Yummy指出，和提供援助的不同机构建立互相信任关系是有需要的，尤其适合政府相关的机构。 “我们不能期待这些机构和我们分享受益者的机密资料，但是我们可以和他们建立一个报告系统，让他们知道我们递交给他们的个案需要尽快处理。” 该志愿组织也表示，他们了解到每个社区内的社区服务中心都致力于不同的项目，包括有收纸皮户、街友、纸巾贩卖者、囤积癖的住户等，这完全取决于当地社区的人口习惯等。 在贴文的尾端，社区组织也引述了新加坡社会及家庭发展部的一句话，“没有完美的解决方法”，这一切取决于我们如何让所有人参与，并朝一个目标发展。 “让我们团结起来，尽我们所能，使新加坡成为无论老少，对每个人来说都是更美好的地方。” https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=3504307242951180&id=679826295399303&_rdc=1&_rdr
