He commended the event’s aim of exposing students to ongoing projects, saying, “The heart has to be touched, so by seeing, by modelling, by sharing when your heart is touched, the seed will germinate. Speaking to a packed auditorium of students, alumni and staff, Mr Hsieh drew on experiences from his childhood and university days, right up to his previous appointment as President of the National Council of Social Service. To kick off the event, Guest-of-Honour NUS Chairman Mr Hsieh Fu Hua shared his thoughts and perspectives on serving the less privileged. The launch at the Shaw Foundation Alumni House featured various inspiring elements to spur students to begin their own projects to serve communities in need, such as exhibitions, film screenings and a panel discussion. NUS Student Affairs and the NUS Office of Alumni Relations jointly launched Seeds of Good on 20 March, a new community development learning programme that seeks to empower NUS students to collaborate with the community, social service organisations and corporations to promote social causes or address issues faced by communities both within NUS and beyond. The panel discussion featured (from left) ophthalmologist and philanthropist Dr Rupesh Agrawal, Jason, Ms Tamura, consultant Mr Alan Ng and moderator Ms Corrine Ong, OSA’s Deputy Director of Community Engagement
