Our Values

  • LOVE: We are motivated by love to serve others before ourselves. We believe in the transformative power of love. Hence we encourage and emphasise serving in love.

  • HOPE: We have high hopes that if we are united and serve each other in love, we can bring about positive changes in our community.

  • HUMILITY: We recognise that everyone has something to offer; hence we are willing to listen and learn.

  • INTEGRITY: We practice what we preach...that is love (fikir).
