Corporate Social
Responsibility is
part of our DNA. We
support people and
communities in regions
where the company
conducts business.
Corporate social responsibility is
part of our DNA. Since the days of
our founders, we have believed that
one should have compassion for the
underprivileged and give back to the
community of which one is a part.
In October 2013, Haw Par conducted
an internal charity drive to pool
donations from staff for the Handicaps
Welfare Association, a charity run by
people with disabilities for people with
disabilities with the aim to promote
self-help and provide mutual support
among the disabled in Singapore.
Organised in support of inclusion as
the world observed the International
Day for Persons with Disabilities,
Underwater World Singapore (UWS)
teamed up with volunteers from the
FreedomAdventure Club and treated
50 young children with special needs
from the Society for the Physically
Disabled to an exciting, magical and
heart-warming Christmas adventure
together with their love ones. Besides
being treated with an educational
tour to get familiarised with friendly
marine animals, the children also
had the opportunity to meet UWS’
resident Scuba-diving Santa who
delighted them with fsh feeding
and planted smiles on their faces.
To applaud the unconditional love of
mothers with special needs children,
UWS invited 40 children from the
Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore and
20 children from the Down Syndrome
Association for an enriching mother-
child bonding experience exploring
the underwater tunnel and taking
part in interactive activities during
Mother’s Day celebration. Adopting
a pink theme this year, the event saw
mothers and children come dressed
in pink to commemorate this joyous
occasion. It was love all around as
the children surprised their mothers
with pink carnations and handmade
cards, sealed with a hug and kiss
as tokens of appreciation to their
amazing mothers.
