Providing access to technology – laptop donation by NCS
In September 2013, NCS donated 400 refurbished laptops to 9 charities to facilitate classroom teaching and support their administrative needs. More than 50 of our people participated in this initiative to refurbish the laptops over a couple of weeks. One of the recipients was our STLF beneficiary MINDS Lee Kong Chian Gardens School. There are now enough laptops for every student in the computer class to improve their IT knowledge and skills. Before the donation, the students had to share and take turns to use the computers. |

| “We will be utilising them in our computer classes to teach our students computer skills. We will also be passing some of these laptops to students who do not have a computer at home,” said Sharon Ng, Principal, MINDS Lee Kong Chian Gardens School. |

Sharing with the community –
Eco-Expression of Love
Eco-Expression of Love is an initiative to encourage our employees to give their 2nd hand items a new lease of life by donating them to people in need. During a 3-week donation drive in April 2013, we collected about 200 bags of clothes and books in good condition from our staff. The initiative was to help the people in Compostela Valley in Davao, Philippines, who were affected by Typhoon Bopha in December 2012. |

On Earth Day 22 April 2013, about 40 volunteers from Business Sales sorted and packed the items into boxes which were then shipped to that community.
This was an extension of Singtel’s financial support during Typhoon
Bopha and our 3rd Singtel Overseas Volunteering Programme. In March
2013, 16 staff volunteers helped with the village rebuilding works in Compostela Valley. |
