Can you believe it’s been one year since our first event in 2025?
One year ago, Merlion Project embarked on a journey to collaborate with Enabling Village to highlight the journey of caregivers of persons with disabilities.
We aimed to provide a safe space for everyone to share their challenges and misgivings in being a caregiver. Participants had a chance to share their own experiences as well.
Thank you to A Good Space for the support, and BAGUS Together for facilitating in pro bono photography services for groundups!
As for the podcast, we are backlogged but we promise the podcast episode will be coming soon!

Last year, Merlion Project and A Good Space came together to host a series of sharing sessions, where changemakers from A Good Space shared their stories of resilience and changemaking.

Through five sessions and 10 speakers, we heard honest, thoughtful, and inspiring journeys. We were so thankful to have 45 participants, with some returning for more than one session 😊

One special moment was co-creating the word “TAHANABILITY” — a reminder of the perseverance and strength we all carry when facing challenges.

A big thank you to SCAPE and Give.Asia for providing such a warm and comfortable space for these conversations.
Everyone has a story to share, and every small effort can help create change in our community. We hope these stories continue to inspire.

Highlights from our latest session on 22 Nov at Enabling Village!
We heard from Selina Tan, a devoted mother and caregiver, who reminded us that every child shines in their own unique way — and that humanity reveals itself through the smallest acts of kindness.

Our participants also shared heartfelt reflections on celebrating strengths, embracing differences, and believing in the goodness in others.

Through his art, Kenny shares his world — colorful, heartfelt, and full of hope.
Through her words, Selina shares a mother’s unwavering love, gratitude, and pride.

This coming Saturday on 22 November, Selina will be sharing her journey of raising Kenny, who lives with autism and cerebral palsy — a story of patience, joy, and finding meaning in the smallest moments.
Join us to listen, reflect, and celebrate the extraordinary bond between a mother and her son, the support of the community and the art that continues to inspire many.

Some takeaways from our recent Merlion Project x A Good Space sharing on 25 October at SCAPE, where Douglas spoke about the power of gratitude, partnership, and meaningful action.

Volunteering, he said, is not just about helping others — it’s about partnering with them. Small, consistent actions within ourselves can spark real impact, which grows even stronger when we come together rather than acting alone.

He also shared that gratitude can be expressed in many different ways, in everyday life.

Share with us in the comments what helps you practise gratitude!

Some insights from our recent Merlion Project x A Good Space sharing on 25 October at SCAPE , where Zhong Han spoke about the importance of resilience and growth.

Zhong Han shared that resilience is really about oscillation — there will always be ups and downs, and every stage of life plays a role in shaping who we are and how we grow. The process isn’t always linear, and that’s okay.

He reminded us that it’s okay to take things at our own pace, and that creating change starts from within ourselves and our communities. His own journey has shaped his perspective on volunteering and inspired him to make a difference through the projects he’s part of.

He also reflected on how our inner critic is influenced by what we surround ourselves with — the more we dwell on something, the more it shapes us.

Thirty years ago, resources for special needs were scarce in Singapore. Ms Selina Tan took it upon herself to learn, even resigning from her job to focus on her son Kenny’s growth. Through years of care and community support, Kenny has blossomed.

In the last of our 4-part series, come with us to hear Selina share the obstacles she faced, the lessons she learned, and the values that sustained her along the way. Learn how compassion and community can transform the challenges we encounter in our own lives.

Special thanks to Enabling Village and A Good Space.
