Chronicles of Old Singapore | Anne Lim Ep2 – The Street Children at Nazareth Centre, Bukit Ho Swee

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. ‘We are the bodoh ones’, some of the struggling children of Bukit Ho Swee told Anne Lim Siew Kim in the early ‘80s. In this podcast, we discuss education and self-help among low-income families. Anne Lim Siew Kim was the assistant project coordinator at Nazareth Centre in Bukit Ho Swee in the early 1980s, a generation after the great fire in 1961. She tried to help the at-risk children there, even as some of them tried to climb through the window and disrupt the class. She wrote about her experience in a book, Face to Face: The Street Children of Bukit Ho Swee, published in 1991.
