Singapore's surge in serving others — The Straits Times Blogs

Singapore's surge in serving others — The Straits Times Blogs: "The little squares could be seen as a vindication of what a study by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre, revealed last month. Hardworking, but self-absorbed Singapore is seeing a surge in serving others.

According to NVPC’s biennial Individual Giving Survey, nearly one in four people here took part in volunteer activities over the past year, up from 16.9 per cent two years earlier. Volunteer hours have also doubled to 89 million."
