Our Gift to the Nation – NDP 2020

When we had the opportunity to collaborate with NDP2020 organisers, we were excited to have this national platform to highlight and celebrate the abilities of persons with disabilities.

Working with our Social Service Agency (SSA) partners, and with support from our friends at Superhero Me, and Dr Esther Joosa, a disability art expert, we developed and curated the NDP2020 art collection that was featured on the NDP Singapore Together Packs and “Our Heart for Singapore” pledge cards.  

These personal portrayals of Singapore give the public a chance to see from the unique perspective of each individual artist with disability and give insights into their hopes for the future. This is their gift to the nation – their heart for Singapore.

“As we look ahead, let us draw inspiration from the artworks of these inspiring artists…..they convey values such as gratitude to those who have protected and supported us, unity in the face of adversity, and compassion for a fellow Singaporean.” BG Frederick Choo, Chairman EXCO, National Day Parade 2020.

We hope our collaboration with NDP2020 will encourage Singapore to take positive action for persons with disabilities – to embrace them, to work alongside them, to collaborate with them, and to celebrate them as integral members of society. There is much we can learn from their resilience, creativity and passion. We can each make a difference in building an inclusive society, and together, we can make a better and stronger Singapore whatever challenges come our way.
