I shared a little post on facebook about how an SMRT staff brightened up my boy's day and was pleasantly surprised that it got much acknowledgement from Singaporeans. (http://bit.ly/1Wu72KY) I feel that it's important that we teach our children about our unsung heroes in our community. How do you think we can teach our children about appreciating these group of special people? :)

This is great - thanks for sharing! Viral indeed :) I would like to share a story about an unsung hero in my mind - my uncle. He is a staunch Sikh and does charity work in the community - from cleaning the temples, to counselling drug addicts in prison, and is involved in almost every Sikh funeral there is in Singapore. He will be the first one there, helping to wash the deceased person's body (and this isn't an easy feat, especially for someone you may not even know!)... he offers help to anyone who he hears needs help. Such a selfless person, with a heart of gold and steel - he is definitely one in a million. He has inspired me, being a father figure to me & I wish that my sons grow up to be just like him. We need more people like this in the world and just being around him gives me the positive vibe. Here's to more unsung heroes- let's thrive to be one of them, and teach our children to aim to be that too!
