iROO - Rare Disorders Society of Singapore (RDSS) KnowMe 2018 Campaign Drive

Last week I attended a touching and meaningful media conference yesterday at Crooked Cooks, located in Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). My eyes nearly swelled and my throat almost choked by the sharing of the members of the Rare Disorders Society of Singapore (RDSS). Not all handicap are in the form of wheelchair, in fact, the children of RDSS receive little support from the public and the government simply because their disorders are RARE. Several issues faced by RDSS members were insults and criticisms hurling at them or people simply avoiding them.

I’m so glad to know that iROO International Pte Ltd (iROO) announces its 5 years corporate social responsibility campaign supporting the RDSS. 5 years is a long commitment, I must say. The key objectives of this campaign are to raise public awareness on rare disorders and educating the public to be empathetic towards such patients and their family members.

Know Me is the theme message for 2018 on this campaign. Only when we get to know the needs of others will we be able to help more effectively. Search hashtag #KnowMe2018 to find out more.

 

“Because we are not equal, therefore we can help each other.”

Hornbills are generally monogamous, i.e., they mate for life, they are symbols of fidelity. They are like families of the RDSS who stay united to bring up their not-so-abled children.
