At our starringSMU’s Freshmen Orientation Camp, we welcome our freshmen with a fun-filled two-day camp. Introducing freshmen to the SMU campus and giving freshmen and facilitators a wholly novel and enjoyable experience.
Established since 2007, starringSMU is the largest community service project held for freshmen joining our institution each year. Presently in its seventh consecutive year, starringSMU’s projects have impacted more than 5,000 people in the community over the course of three years. The intent of starringSMU is to nurture a culture of caring and bonding in society through the execution of its community service projects.
Do not be mistaken, this is no ordinary camp. starringCAMP, managing to intertwine fun and community service into one explosive event, will allow our participants to build bonds through the games they will play, as well as through the opportunities that they will be presented with to give back to the community. Come join us and get set to view community service in a completely different light.
Be reminded of life’s simple pleasures. starringGIVESBACK will allow participants to work with our chosen beneficiaries – Kids for Kids, The Salvation Army, Surya Home as well as All Sanits Home. It is not everyday that the youths of today get engaged in such activities hence we are proud to present to you this amazing opportunity that will allow you to not just build bonds but also to bring joy to both children and the elderly.

My Buona Vista Place was set up in 2008 as a one-stop centre for community interaction and social welfare programmes. It organises activities to encourage active ageing and community bonding. These activities include playing of rummy-o which helps to stimulate thinking and prevents dementia and weekly line dance sessions to encourage healthy lifestyle.
Apart from the regular social activities, the centre also helps to be an information point for those seeking and providing social assistance. During the disbursement of public transport last year, my Buona Vista Place assisted in communicating the message to the needy and was also one of the points of contact for information and collation of forms.
Trainings and talks were also conducted at the centre to equip residents with basic skills and knowledge. know more

Sunlove Home is one of the few charitable Homes in Singapore that provide for patients ranging from 22 to 75 years old. The social stigma surrounding the intellectually-infirmed has caused problems for families who want to care for their loved ones.
The Home offers compassionate help in rehabilitative programs, which include daily supervision to psychotherapy, occupational, physiotherapy and medical treatment. The objective of this half-way house is to ultimately reintegrate the patients back to their homes and society, restore hope to the individual, and to build their self-esteem and self-worth. know more
