Durian Buffet by The New Charis Mission

Durian Buffet anyone? There's a good one at 11, Jalan Ubi operated by The New Charis Mission (TNCM).

I love it that TNCM is constantly looking for new ways to create business and job opportunities for its members — former inmates whose lives are now positively transformed!

I was pleased to personally support the TNCM durian business by inviting the volunteers from Keeping Hope Alive who help in our Central District.

You can do it too for your family, corporate, community outings.

Good quality durians for a good cause — all nett proceeds go back to supporting programmes for the mission.

Founded by Pastor Don Wong, "The New Charis Mission is a non-profit Institution of a Public Character charitable organisation.

Beyond what a halfway house does for ex-drug addicts and ex-offenders, The New Charis Mission operates a Residential Rehabilitation Programme.

Many become:

• Mentors running programmes in Schools for at-risk students,

• Counsellors to the inmates in the Prison, and

• Befrienders to the lonely elderly.

Once, they were the trouble and burden in their families, now they are able to provide support to their families.”
