(Part 1) Why Caring for the Vulnerable Matters with Braema Mathi. The School Pocket Money Fund.

In Part 1 of our 3-part conversation "Why Caring for the Vulnerable Matters", Braema Mathi shares about how The School Pocket Money Fund was started in 2000. It was my first time meeting Braema after our careers had taken us on different paths, and we did have a lot to catch up on. I wanted to start with her work on the School Pocket Money Fund because I witnessed how it unfolded at SPH as a passive bystander, then a stringer with The New Paper. But 25 years later, when I listen to Braema recount how it all started, I also reflect on the efforts to protect children since and how important it is to have a national news outlet that speaks for Singaporeans. #heroinesoftheirlives
