Chronicles of Old Singapore | Gerard Ee – Part 2 Community Development & Social Service

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Gerard Ee reflects on the difference between community development and social service and how both can co-exist. He talks about how the problem today has shifted from the youth to low-income families and elderly. I asked him about the valuable research his team did on vulnerable families during the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for practice research.00:00 Community Development vs. Social Service11:33 Community Projects at Beyond15:34 Voluntarism in Singapore Today18:28 Low-Income Families in Bukit Ho Swee Today23:45 The Pandemic Research31:13 Practice Research35:33 Advice for the New Social WorkerI am Dr Loh Kah Seng, the people’s historian.
