Inspired by her previous trip to Cambodia, Adeline brought her family along to witness World Vision’s work firsthand and meet her sponsored child, A Chan, for the first time.

In November 2025, a World Vision sponsor Grace Ho travelled to Nepal to meet the child she had supported for 10 years. During the visit, she saw how sponsorship and community programmes are improving health, education and livelihoods, and experienced first-hand the lasting impact of sustained support on children and communities.

In July 2025, a team of 18 SMU youths embarked on a two-week YEP service learning trip to Son Trà, Vietnam, where they taught secondary school students, painted a community house and experienced Vietnamese culture.

In March 2025, a team of 34 students from Republic Polytechnic’s Service-Learning Club had the incredible opportunity to be part of Youth Expedition Project Goes Online (YEP-GO) 2025, in collaboration with World Vision Singapore and Philippines. Though miles apart, their hearts and screens connected them with a wonderful community in Mandaue City, Philippines.

In 2024, TheWriteChance partnered with World Vision Singapore to plan for a YEP trip to Cambodia, supported by Halogen Singapore. There, TWC would bring reading, writing, and conversational programmes to children and youth from vulnerable backgrounds. After much preparation, a TWC team of 23 youths (aged 17-19) embarked on the YEP trip in January 2025. 

Many of them might not have the chance to realise how beautiful their smiles are. I genuinely wished these pictures could remind them of the support, love and friendship they had from us if they ever come across any difficult times in future. This was my first mission trip but it would not be my last.

Our trip was both enlightening and a stark reminder that the world was not created equal. We saw first-hand how World Vision’s Area Programme Vision of holistic transformation was put into action. Not only was there a programme to provide access to education to children, there were also separate initiatives on child protection, micro-financing, health and food security, provision of clean water, and environmental protection. The multi-faceted approach clearly lifted the lives of the community, and we were privileged to see it in motion.

In November 2024, a group of 24 students and 4 teachers from Temasek Junior College partnered with World Vision and travelled to Da Nang, Vietnam with their mission in mind: To serve with the heart, for the hearts.  

In July 2024, a group of 20 SMU students from Project White Dove travelled to Danang, Vietnam, with a unified goal: to inspire local children to pursue higher education.
