Beautiful People

18 May 2013- This lovely Saturday morning, Beautiful People leaders came together to look at just what it means for us to be a movement.  With the challenge to be addressed in mind, a vision that we stand for, we aim to develop  replicable models for success- namely through raising leaders.

Just as we invest into the lives of the Little Sisters, it is equally important for us to invest into the lives of Big Sisters and leaders.

Trainers Irene, Melissa and Susie put us through a game that really exemplified what the following proverb meant! “If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together”.  Relationships are what make us strong, and hand in hand, we made it through!

Today, we also discussed Beautiful People values in action.  The powerful stories of LOVE, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, COURAGE and COMMITMENT were highlights of the morning’s sharing.

Thank you sisters for a wonderful morning together!

For her birthday this year, Siti Nurhidayati, chose an unconventional way of celebrating life!

She raised $5k for Beautiful People through an arduous 30-30-30 for her 30th birthday last week! 30 laps in the pool, 30km bike, 30km run.

Thank you for contributing with love!

Thank you to Singapore Repertory Theatre for the gift of play!

6 April 2013- The Big Sisters at Gracehaven spent an awesome morning over a coaching conversation and breakfast as they shared from their hearts, reflecting on just what it takes to build and deepen relationships with our Little Sisters…

Thank you to mentor coaches, Susie, Irene and Melissa, for facilitating this!

16 March 2013- At each training for new volunteers, the highlight is always the part where we invite Little Sisters to come back and share their perspectives on what works in a mentoring relationship.

I am always inspired by their sharing and this is what keeps it real for me, and why I keep coming back to continue in this work.  They are our best teachers!

Here, Young Leader Sharon shares with aspiring new Big Sisters her story and her perspective.

2 March 2013- Our Little Sisters thought they were there to watch a performance, but they end up taking center stage & having fun jumping into this forum theatre to change the “stories of their lives”.

Thank you Lasalle and Fairuz Atiqah for this evening of fun! Yes, (i’m)perfect!

21 Jan 2013- Gracehaven kicks off 2013 with a review of the high points of 2012, and looking forward to what we hope to accomplish in 2013. The colours and pictures convey the freshness of hope for what is to come! 

Dear Friends,

We are looking for Big Sisters to join our Beautiful People family in the journey of transforming lives, both your own and that of our Little Sisters.

Walk alongside our Little Sisters in their one-year journey on the My Beautiful Life Programme. MBL is an intensive mentoring and career guidance programme that aims to equip the Little Sisters with the tools, skills and relationships to help her map a career direction and get a headstart on a fulfilling career.

Key components of the programme include life skills training, financial education and job exposure opportunities. The critical success factor? A caring Big Sister to support the Little Sister along the way. Are you ready to take a look at what this journey might look like?

Beautiful People is holding a Meet-and-Greet Session for all new volunteers who are keen to find out more. We invite you to join us:

When: 5 Jan 2013 (Saturday), 2pm to 5pm

Where: Beyond Social Services, 26 Jalan Klinik, 160026 (nearest MRT: Tiong Bahru, behind Tiong Bahru Plaza)

17 Feb 2013- Whether you are into Chinese calligraphy or simply a competition of cracking melon seeds as fast as you can, there is something for you!

Big and Little Sisters celebrate Chinese New Year testing their limits in both dimensions. =)

27 April 2013- Dynamic duo, Big Sister Ashley Wong and her husband Shawn, conducted an incredibly enriching fun-filled Financial Simulation for the Big & Little Sisters at Gracehaven last Saturday on 27 April 2013!

Everyone learnt about the importance of saving and planning in making financial decisions, and had lots of laughs in the process too! ♥
