During this economic downturn, Care Corner continues to play a significant role in helping those affected, and the resulting rise in financial and family challenges. Despite the increase in cases, I am pleased to note that the centres have not compromised on their service delivery. I wish to commend, as well as encourage the team at Care Corner in their continued efforts to serve the community. Gan Kim Yong Minister Ministry of Manpower Care Corner Annual Report 2008 / 2009 President’s Message As the financial year FY08/09 came to a close, I was convinced by Paul’s encouragement in Philippians 1:6 that “… he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion…” By His mercy, our Lord has seen us through another year. Our mission and passion to touch lives, calls for a greater patience and love to those who are broken hearted under the current ‘economic tsunami’. As stated in Isaiah 61:1-2: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn. As we march on, I am confident that our good Lord will continue to bless the Centre’s volunteers, staff and Management in carrying on His work. I wish to express our sincere appreciation towards the National Council of Social Service, the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, the National Council on Problem Gambling, as well as our donors and sponsors for their funding and continued support. Raymond Woo President Care Corner Annual Report 2008 / 2009 CEO’s Message It seems only a short moment ago when we were preparing for our Financial Year (FY) 2007/08 Annual Report. And now we are presenting our report for FY2008/09! At press time of this report, we will be well into the new FY of 2009/10. FY2008/09 saw us meeting challenges of the increased caseloads at all our centres, due to the ‘Financial Tsunami’ of 2008. I do believe Singapore is on the way out of the Crisis, though many families would still be recovering from its after effect. We were encouraged by the positive responses made by our Government towards those affected by the financial crisis. It has indeed helped us in handling the increased workload. We would like to acknowledge the National Council of Social Service and Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, for their support and many new initiatives introduced; North West Community Development Councils (CDC); South West CDC; Central CDC; Town Councils that worked closely with our centres; donors from various corporations; individual donors, our volunteers who gave their times selflessly, rain or shine; our team of committed co-workers; our Patron Mr Gan Kim Yong, Minister for Manpower; directors and members of our Management Committees who ‘journeyed’ with us with their participation, advice, and their prayers, and the several new members who joined our Management Committee during the year. To our co-workers both colleagues and volunteers, a special thank you for your passion, your hard work, and the family spirit displayed all these years, especially the difficult year of this report. I am greatly honoured to be on the same team together with you. Of course we must remember the wonderful God we have, on top of showering us with His eternal Love, continues to bless us in all areas of activities. In the FY 08/09, we were grateful to God for blessing us with the new Crossroad Youth Centre in Admiralty:, which started operations in July 2008. We began running programs in Potong Pasir through our temporary office in Toa Payoh reaching out to many senior citizens even though we could not secure a facility in the area. We were excited too when we became a partner of Teck Ghee Youth Centre towards the end of 2008. We are constantly reminded of our God who loves us, and whose name amongst many, includes Wonderful Counsellor! Care Corner exists to help our fellow Singaporeans, who are one way or another in need of help. That is the vision of our founding members and it remains so - that we will reach out to those in need. May I challenge those who have the same burden to join us as co-workers, members of our Management Committee, volunteers, or donors. God bless you! Lye Fei Chief Executive Officer Care Corner Counselling Centre Clinical Director’s Message We have witnessed another year of God’s faithfulness and His providence despite the global financial crises. As reminded in 2 Corinthians 1:4 “God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, so that we maybe able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God”, it was most humbling for us to continue serving the community by walking along side with them during these trying moments. During the financial year, we experienced a number of new developments. Since September 2008, we were approached to provide therapeutic services for inmates of the Sembawang Drug Rehabilitation Centre and their family members. This program aimed to reconcile and strengthen family ties of those who were under the influence of substance abuse. It was indeed a timely response to a reference stated in Luke 4:18 “… to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of the sight for the blind, to release the oppressed”. The programmes had been well received by the inmates and their loved ones. In October 2008, we collaborated with the Singapore Press Holdings Ltd’s “Thumbs Up” publication, to compile a bilingual book to foster parent-child, teacher-student relationships and personal growth for upper primary school children and their care-givers. We have targeted to launch this book in our next financial year. Our project with the National Council of Problem Gambling since September 2006, as one of their pilot centres for assisting problem gamblers, came to a close in December 2008. The National Gambling Hotline and the management of Gambling addiction has been placed under the purview of Institute of Mental Health. Nevertheless, we continue to extend our expertise and support towards family members who were affected by such vices. Our Centre is committed to enhancing and restoring individuals, couples and families. Conflicts in relationships are like ripples, affecting not one but the whole system in the family unit. Fostering relationships are pivotal in all family establishments. I wish to acknowledge the united efforts of all our directors, staff team members and volunteers who persevere to be a conduit of love and care to those going through tough times. Let us ignite our passion, draw strength and wisdom from God our Father, Giver of hope and life.
