"Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” ― Mark Twain
Being neighbourly is not something that only adults can do. Everyone, regardless of age, can demonstrate acts of kindness. Three primary school pupils were among 11 recipients of the HDB Good Neighbour Award at the recent HDB Community Week, held between May 29 and June 9. The annual award, organized by HDB, honours the community spirit shown by those living in their HDB estates. The awardees shared their charitable acts with readers which include, lending elderly neighbours a hand with their groceries, helping neighbours to clean their houses, helping classmates with their schoolwork, among other things.
