\n\t\tReflections from Singapore\n\t<\/h4>\n

\u201cSystemic barriers comes with their own sets of challenges in different countries. Through the delegates\u2019 sharing, I realised that the difference between VWOs in Singapore and overseas include 1) the amount of resources we can garner and 2) the support we have from our government. These may be factors that contribute to us being able to come up with more services locally. Yet, despite the varying challenges, what prevails is our fighting spirit- the spirit of going the extra mile for the populations we serve\u201d \u2014 Ying Ning, AMKFSC Community Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey were a great bunch, asked a lot of good questions. They were also really respectful of our clients, and asked me on whether there were any cultural norms that we had to be aware of. We really had fruitful conversations with each other\u201d \u2014 Social Worker from AWWA FSC<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to affirm this batch of SSLEP participants for displaying good teamwork, team leadership, open minded and good positive attitude\u2026they kept a positive open mind to understand the specialist agencies they were going to , and were also able to share they key learning points\u2026 they are adaptable and had a good learning attitude.\u201d \u2014 Connie Ng, MWS FSC \u2013 Yishun<\/p>\n
