SAFETY CYCLE, SINGAPORE
Help us make cycling safer for Migrant Workers!
We are sponsoring a group of 20 teachers from the National Institute of Education (NIE). We are managing and executing a community outreach project in Singapore.
Many cycling accidents happen due to the poor visibility of the cyclists without bicycle lights while riding at night. This is because a large proportion of the cycling community are low-income Migrant Workers (MWs), who cannot afford to purchase proper safety equipment.
Our project, called The Safety Cycle aims to improve the current situation by:
- Educating MWs on safe cycling
- Making the proper safety equipment accessible to them.
In the process, we also hope to foster inclusivity between fellow Singaporeans and the Migrant Workers.
We are powered by the National Youth Council (NYC) and are partnering Safe Cycling Task Force (SCTF) and SDI Academy to organise a one-day event consisting of an informative workshop and an interactive cycling trip in the vicinity.
The cycling trip serves as an avenue for the Migrant Workers to practice what they have learnt and is also an opportunity for the local cycling community to socialise with them over a common interest.
We are piloting the project and starting on a small scale. But in the long run, we hope our project will involve and influence more stakeholders like university cycling clubs, companies and even individuals to join the project. They can become safe cycling ambassadors and help educate the migrant workers, donate pre-owned gear that are in good condition or fund the project through ways like offering free bicycle checks and maintenance for them.
Safe Cycling for Them, Safe Cycling for Us. Help us secure a safer cycling environment in Singapore.

HELP AVERY ANN WITH HER BRAIN TUMOR, DREAMSCAPE FOUNDATION, SARASOTA, FL, USA
Meet Avery Rann. She is a beautiful, silly, incredibly imaginative, and crafty 6-year-old girl. Avery loves Disney Princesses, arts and crafts, making desserts with Grandma, and laughing. She lives a wonderful, happy life with her mom, Barb (Bell) Rann; dad, Russ Rann; and younger siblings, Roscoe and Charley. The Rann family live together in Sarasota, Florida among many loving family members and friends. Avery and her family are also blessed by a large network of family and friends in the Chicago area.
In July 2016, The Rann family’s life was turned upside down. After complaining of headaches for several days, Avery was brought to the emergency room where a CT Scan revealed a tumor in her brain stem. She was transferred to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago where she will undergo brain surgery to biopsy the tumor in order to determine whether the lesion is aggressive or non-aggressive and subsequent treatment options.
Surgery to remove the brain tumor is not an option given its location. However, we are praying that it is treatable in another way, so our beautiful, sweet Avery has the hope of surviving her childhood.
In the upcoming months, the Rann family will experience tremendous financial burden such as medical bills, driving Avery to and from treatment in St.Petersburg (a two-hour round trip) and unpaid time off work.
On behalf of the Rann family, thank you for your continued prayers, generosity and support.
