Quinn Special Needs Support Centre
Singapore
Quinn Centre is a social enterprise established in 2012 to provide care and support services to both caregivers and their children with special needs such as Autism, Developmental Delays and Learning Disabilities. We have supported more than 50 families and their children with special needs since with fee subsidies, free programs, learning resources, counseling and sponsorship for educational events and outings. We have successfully kept our fees below the mean average for dedicated services for special needs children in Singapore as we know the financial challenges involved in raising them. Our holistic programs, together with love and guidance from our committed staff has resulted in many of our students having been successfully integrated into both mainstream and SPED schools. At Quinn Centre, we are friends first to our caregivers and helping solve their problems is our mission.

Canossian School Choir
Singapore
"Singing is an engaging medium for everyone, especially children. It offers a stress-free way of listening, learning, connecting with others when singing in unison or in harmony. Our choir was formed in 2012. Its primary goal is to break boundaries and raise awareness that children with hearing loss can sing."

Sayaw Parkinson's Disease
Australia, Philippines
The Bereber Sayaw PD is purely art-based; it is a dance class for dancing sake by design and demand with people with Parkinson’s Disease. The focus is on the dance, a new revolutionary kind of therapy that makes participants come back week after week. There are elements of therapy but the artistic component is key to what we do, and it requires the knowledge that dancers have to successfully teach this kind of class. The same consideration is true for physical therapists.
Participants don’t come to a Bereber Sayaw PD class to get therapy; they come to learn to dance and enjoy themselves in an artistic, social, setting. Bereber Sayaw PD emphasizes on creating a community for them. Their families, partners, caregivers are welcome to attend the class.
