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? :)

At home, simple gesture like thank you to us, their grandparents is a good start. In US, there are special projects in their history to know about the unsung heroes. Perhaps this can be part of SG education system. I read about this little girl that wrote to Mr Obama. It is a good example for our little ones to think like her on how to appreciate our unsung heroes. :) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3551940/Celebrated-former-slave-Harriet-Tubman-woman-currency-century-thanks-11-year-old-girl-s-letter-Obama.html
