Rumbling with Jumble Station

Working in the social sector is tough.  From making sure you have enough money to cover your monthly costs, to making sure the children you care for have good and nutritious food and not forgetting that abandoned parents need the same attention and care as well.

But, amidst all this, it is inspiring to see that social workers and volunteers keep their smiles when they plough through their daily routines.  I've had the pleasure of meeting so many in the past years and plan to share their stories over time in this blog.

Yesterday, I finally met the folks (or one of the many wonderful people) behind Jumble Station - Mary Anne Tan, a great speaker with a bubbly personality.  Humbly I say, they love what we do and I personally love what they do.  Jumble Station carry out remarkable initiatives to help single parents from all communities become financially independent.

Their latest venture is to hold a photography course for youngsters, and their looking out for cameras.  So if you have a spare or pre-loved camera, share them with Jumble Station. Here's their callout: (sorry Mary Anne, I've "borrowed" this image. :) )



If you don't have a camera, but other pre-loved items like spectacles, books, electrical appliances, do share them with Jumble Station, they collect these items for sale in flea markets to raise funds for their cause.

You can learn more about them on their blog, Rumble on Jumble (Station).
