Throughout his residency at Green Haven Halfway House, Eng Huat* had one main goal in mind: figure out how to help lighten his wife's workload at the fish soup stall she runs. Having heard about HCSA Academy's WSQ Higher Certificate in Food Services (Culinary Arts) course from fellow residents during his stay, he sought to find out more from his social worker. Convinced the course would be able to get him closer to his goal, Eng Huat eventually decided to enrol in it. 🍲👨🏽🍳
While age could be perceived as a limiting factor when it comes to learning new skills, Eng Huat proves that it's never too late to pursue one's interests if we put our heart into it. Through his hard work, he successfully completed the course at the age of 60. 👐🏽 The robust 6-week course prepared him to be confident and skilled in the kitchen, and familiar with various cuisines. This helped him secure employment in the F&B industry at a restaurant helmed by a reputable chef from South Korea. "Learning about food preparation, kitchen hygiene, and cooking techniques also allows me to better help my wife when she needs me," he explains.

“Trust the process," these three simple words are what drives Maria, our Head of Home at HCSA Dayspring Residential Treatment Centre (DRTC) to continue helping vulnerable teenage girls for the past 8 years.
Girls staying in DRTC have suffered complex trauma from neglect, physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Maria helms a tight-knit team of 25 ladies, including youth mentors, social workers, and a clinical psychologist. Together, they work closely to ensure the girls receive appropriate interventions based on their needs, and help them become healthy individuals who can successfully reintegrate into their schools, families, and society.
“For these girls, their trust has been broken by those who were supposed to provide the basic love, care, and safety they need. No matter how complex and lengthy the (recovery) journey is, families can be reconciled, wounds can be healed, and lives can be transformed. This is a hope I hold on to,” Maria explains.
As she witnesses the girls heal, grow, and flourish one by one, Maria’s hopes for DRTC remain simple – for their team to grow from strength to strength, and continue helping vulnerable young women make peace with their past, find purpose in their present, and renew hope for their future.

“I’m not a professional cook, but I cook for the girls like they are my family,” Siti Rokiyah, our resident cook for Dayspring Residential Treatment Centre (DRTC), shares. As the main chef, she diligently prepares all kinds of meals throughout the day for our young girls and DRTC staff from Monday to Saturday. 👩🏽🍳
Through her role, she also learnt more about how DRTC supports teenage girls who have suffered the complex trauma of physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Being in an environment that requires an abundance of patience, understanding, and love impacted her as well: “I’ve learnt to be more affectionate. In the past, I didn’t know how to hug someone or say, ‘I love you.’ Today, I’m more expressive about my feelings towards others.”
Stories like Siti’s inspire us to do all things with love and compassion. Everyone can make a positive difference even with the simplest of actions. Donate now to support our next generation of girls and young women and help them shine. 👩🏽⭐ Link in bio!

[SWIPE TO READ] At HCSA Dayspring Residential Treatment Centre (DRTC), no role is ever too small. Siti is not just our resident chef, but for over a decade, she has also been a loving mother figure to our DRTC girls and treats them like her own children. 💗
“I hope that women go ahead and pursue what they can and what they want – even if they don’t have the education or the right experience. That’s what my own life journey has shown me,” Siti shares. Indeed, her Dayspring story has taught us that anyone can impact positively on others so long as our actions are well-intentioned and guided by love!
This Mother’s Day, we want to recognise and honour mothers and motherly figures alike! For your love, strength, and sacrifices that make an impact and shape who we are - we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Stay tuned to hear more of Siti’s story 🤗

While completing the residential rehabilitation programme at Green Haven Halfway House, Boon Lee searched for opportunities to start anew. When he heard about the WSQ Higher Certificate in Food Services (Culinary Arts) course at HCSA Academy, he decided to take it up in an effort to pick up a new skill that would increase his employability.
Throughout the 6-weeks course, Boon Lee enjoyed learning all about different culinary techniques and vital hygiene and safety components in relation to the kitchen. For him, being able to cook for himself and his family has been most empowering.
"I am thankful to have the opportunity to learn this new skill (culinary)," Boon Lee adds.
