Chronicles of Old Singapore | Gerard Ee – Part 1 Bukit Ho Swee Community Service Project

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Gerard Ee, long-time executive director of the Bukit Ho Swee Community Service Project, takes us back to the 1980s when the project was known as Nazareth Centre. He talks about how he and his team of volunteers worked hard, and successfully, to keep the children and youth of Bukit Ho Swee socially engaged and out of trouble.00:00 Introduction02:23 Kampongs as communities08:35 Getting into Social Work11:48 Nazareth Centre20:41 Keeping the Kids Out of Trouble32:30 Success of the Project35:51 Beyond Social ServicesI am Dr Loh Kah Seng, the people’s historian.
