Hi! I'm Donghyun, a final-year student at Raffles Institution.

Last year, I started volunteering with Hannah, a student from Rainbow Centre's Watch Out, World! (WOW!) programme, to tutor her in the Korean language. Hannah is a huge K-pop fan, and through our lessons, I shared more about my culture, and we worked on basic conversational skills together.

My experience with Hannah has been very fruitful, and I truly enjoyed every session with her. She always takes the time to show her gratitude after every call, and her energy cheers me up even when I'm down.

Hannah is actually the first student I've tutored, and I could tell she faces some challenges in learning and expressing herself. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue to have lessons with Hannah due to other school commitments, but I wanted to do something more to support students like her.

Hence, I'm embarking on this campaign to raise awareness about persons with disabilities and fundraise for Rainbow Centre. After spending time with Hannah, I've come to empathise with and understand the needs of persons with disabilities better - just like all of us, they have their own aspirations and dreams.

Every effort counts in building inclusive communities where persons with disabilities can belong! Support this campaign to raise funds for low-income families, pilot programmes and innovation work in Rainbow Centre.

For every $2 donated, I will do 1 push-up to support the cause.

Thank you so much!

Rainbow Centre recently celebrated its 35th anniversary of building empowered, included and thriving lives for persons with disabilities. What's next for us beyond this milestone?

RC35 and Beyond is a fundraising campaign which charts Rainbow Centre's future focus in building inclusive communities and expanding pathways for young adults with disabilities. The campaign gathers members of our community to support our mission through digital fundraising for three key areas of need: supporting low resource families, pilot programmes such as those in the Post-18 space for young adults with disabilities and student care services, as well as innovation efforts to improve service quality.

Donations made from now to 31 March 2023 under the RC35 and Beyond campaign can attract dollar-for-dollar matching from the Tote Board under its Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme. Double your impact and donate today!
