Channel NewsAsia - 2 hours 25 minutes ago
SINGAPORE : A novel project by the South West Community Development Council (CDC) is ensuring used paper and old clothes are being recycled, while raising funds for needy students.
With the help of three religious organisations, it collected a whopping 45,500 kilogrammes of paper and 16,700 kilogrammes of clothing.
The organisations — City Harvest Church, South West Mosque Cluster and Singapore Soka Association — got S$15,000 from selling the recyclables.
They received another S$15,000 from a corporate partner.
Together with a dollar—for—dollar matching grant from the CDC, they raised a total of S$60,000 for needy Institute of Technical Education students in the district. — CNA/ms
