Tell us about your involvement with charity work?

I have done quite a bit with kids. For example, I have worked with kids at a local community high school in Shanghai. I used to tutor them in subjects like English and Maths.

Last summer in Beijing, I also tutored kids of migrant workers. Their families earned less than USD 200 annually. As a result, these kids were not eligible for public education. So the school was set up to provide kids with education. The government did not provide funds to the school so they had no money to hire good teachers as a result.

I have also worked with orphans from Habitat for Humanity, mostly in China and the USA and Philippines in South East Asia.

Why is charity work important to you?

I feel fortunate that I have everything I want in life. I have a good education and a bright future. So I want to contribute back to the local community by entering Miss World Singapore and give back whatever I can to help others who are less fortunate than I am.

How do you plan to help children in Singapore?

Children not having fair access to education because they come from less affluent backgrounds are almost never given much attention – and it happens in Singapore too. So I’ll like to get more involved in this.

I’ll also like to help kids to have a better childhood including getting better nutrition as it affects their learning abilities. I’ll also like to foster greater parental involvement in kids’ schooling and for their parents to be involved in providing a supportive family environment, conducive to learning. Orphans and child abuse are also areas that I’ll like to help in.
