Now in its 4th year, our annual signature event - An Extra•Ordinary Evening, Flavours & Origins proved that some traditions only grow more unique with time, transforming our annual charity dinner into a completely fresh celebration of culture, music, and community.
What makes this year truly distinct is how our global village keeps evolving. Every embassy brought entirely new heritage-rich dishes to the table—sparking fresh conversations and deeper cross-cultural connections through the universal language of food.
The evening also marked a beautiful milestone for our beneficiaries. Taking the stage with incredible growth and confidence, our EPL Drum Ensemble and VPop performers stole the show and filled the room with a quiet sense of pride, joy and hope felt not only by the audience but, more importantly, by their caregivers.
Deepest Gratitude
A heartfelt thank you to our co-host, His Excellency Agustín García López Loaeza, Ambassador of Mexico, for anchoring the evening so meaningfully.
We are also grateful to the ambassadors who contributed their time, stories, and dishes:
His Excellency Cao Zhongming (China),
His Excellency Dante Brandi (Italy),
His Excellency Hong Jin-wook (Republic of Korea),
and His Excellency Carlos Pires (Portugal).
It was equally meaningful to welcome back familiar faces from past years — including His Excellency Sok Khoeun (Cambodia) and Her Excellency Sarah McGrath (Ireland) — a reminder that this community continues to grow.
We were also glad to welcome the Ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to Singapore, His Excellency Tran Phuoc Anh.
To every partner, friend, and supporter who joined us, our warmest appreciation once again for your steadfast encouragement. Your presence directly fuels the mission of Extra•Ordinary People, helping us build inclusive spaces where individuals with disabilities can grow, be seen, and thrive.
