For charity, there is no denomination. All are welcome to touch the hearts of those in need of love, care and concern.

Love cannot remain by itself--it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service. Whatever form we are, able or disabled, rich or poor, it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing; a lifelong sharing of love with others. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well. The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved-- they are Jesus in disguise. - Mother Teresa

This is just a prelimary posting. I will share with you my experience in my next posting.

Yellow Ribbon Funding Project

"I'm really still in prison and my love, she holds the KEY, a simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free....".

The 3 lines from the lyrics above, aptly describes how ex-offenders are actually incarcerated in 2 prisons. The first is the physical prison, and it is a matter of time before ex-offenders are released. However, when they are released, they enter into a second 'prison', which is the psychological and social imprisonment. The "she" who holds the key to unlocking the second 'prison', refers to the ex-offender's family, friends, neighbours, employers, colleagues, volunteers, religious group and the community at large.

This Sat i.e. 8 Sep 07, we will be setting up a booth at the main entrance of Novena Church for the sale of some merchandise in support of the Yellow Ribbon Fund (YRF). YRF would contribute to the development and implementation of reintegration programmes for ex-offenders as well as support programmes to strengthen families of ex-offenders.

Please feel free to drop by in support for the YRF.

There is a power in a simple yellow ribbon. Acceptance, forgiveness, and chances can transform the lives of ex-offenders and their families.
