Community Heroes : More than 'How's your day?' — why helping youths spark deeper conversations at home matters to meFrom left: Heart.th's founders Samuel Law, Jasmine Lum, Raymus Koh and Nicole Soh holding their activity booklets at the Singapore Kindness Movement's Kindness Day SG at Paya Lebar Quarter mall on May 20, 2023.Singapore has about 450 active ground-up initiatives, made up of groups of individuals who come together in self-organised projects to help the community.

In 2021, I attended Focus on the Family’s 1825 programme for young people aged 18 to 25, where I met others who were passionate about creating stronger families. Drawing from our stories, we started Heart.th with the idea of creating booklets filled with conversation starters. With the opportunity presented by Singapore Kindness Movement's grant, I launched Heart.th as a ground-up movement in May 2023 with my four friends.

Each month covered a different topic on communication in families, and the young were encouraged to share their own family experiences and hopes for families in Singapore.
