THE PRESIDENT’SMESSAGEI would like to commend the organisers of the Meet the Entrepreneurs (MTE) Charity Concert and the entrepreneurs who have participated in this effort for their spirit of giving, volunteerism and hard work, in particular the entrepreneurs who have performed at the concert. I am heartened to note that the funds raised will go towards Club Rainbow to help our children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses, and to Dignity Kitchen which provides hawker training for the disabled and disadvantaged in our community. I hope many more in our business community would follow their example and give back to society through various social responsibility initiatives and other efforts.

CLUBRAINBOW’SMESSSAGE

Dignity Kitchen was started with the objective of helping the disabled and disadvantaged to gain employment or to establish their own small business, with the hope that they will have a reasonable standard of living. Starting out in October 2010, we face many challenges as a hawker training school cum food court is a relatively new social entrepreneurial concept. In the course of the last one year we are very fortunate to have the members of MTE to help us overcome these challenges.

We thank MTE and its members for all the kind assistance and we look forward to your continual support and guidance.

The Council and Staff of Club Rainbow would like to thank all the entrepreneurs involved in organizing this unprecedented MTE Charity Concert. It is truly heartening to see so many entrepreneurs work tirelessly in a labour of love for charity. The funds raised from this event is a testimony to the hard work, dedication and commitment poured into this project over the past few months. The Rainbow Children struggle each day to cope with their individual illnesses and overcome its debilitating effects to lead as close to a normal life as possible. The staff and volunteers of Club Rainbow know, meet and love the Rainbow children and their families and have seen firsthand the adverse effects of congenital heart defects, blood disorders, liver problems, rare genetic diseases, neuro-muscular disorders and other chronic illnesses on their psychosocial, physical and mental well-being. Club Rainbow is committed to providing comprehensive, holistic support services to families of children suffering from a range of chronic and life-threatening illnesses and their families including financial, psychosocial, educational and social outreach. We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all donors and supporters who have contributed to this event. Your contributions will play a big part in helping to improve the lives of the Rainbow children and their families. For those who have taken precious time off your schedule to attend the MTE Charity Concert. we hope you will enjoy the performances today and have a wonderful evening. On behalf of our more than 500 Rainbow Children and their families, the Council and Staff of Club Rainbow thank all of you for your care.

MTE LOGOEXPLAINED

I had a dream of having a personal music concert for myself since young, but when I realised that I could make a concert more meaningful by engaging more people to embark on a course of giving back to society, I took action immediately.

The monthly MTE entrepreneur sharing session that started 2 years ago has been a very good platform to meet like-minded people that provided the drive and energy for this concert. We started MTE Charity Concert with a 5-entrepreneur band six months ago and it just kept growing and growing, materializing the faint blur that was the vision at the start.

I have always believed that giving back to society is the backbone of the spirit of enterprise, and I thank you for letting me realise my dream of organizing something of this scale. Once again, I thank you all for your contribution in making this concert a huge success.

The Logo is formed by the three letters, M, T, and E. This is an abbreviation for “Meet The Entrepreneurs”.

The logo embodies the qualities of resilience; To stand tall and lean, and always getting back up again after falling down. This is the essence of entrepreneurship.

The logo describes the three stages of an entrepreneur’s journey. The first pillar on the left till the middle of the M signifies the Learning phase. The upward slope from then on signifies the second phase, Earning. Finally, the third phase, Returning, is shown by the T and E letters raised on the platform. MTE entrepreneurs believe that they should always give back to society and only then does entrepreneurship come full circle.

The platform is taken from the Yi Jing (易经). It comprises two sub-symbols of ‘DUI’ (兑). It signifies that entrepreneurs (君子) encourage conversation on common platforms and enjoy the stimulus of learning from one another.

THE BENEFICIARIESAbout Club Rainbow (Singapore)

The charity was set up in 1992 to provide a range of comprehensive support services for the families of children who suffer from major chronic and potentially life-threatening illnesses. By working closely with KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH), the National University Hospital (NUH) and the neonatal ward of the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), Club Rainbow presently helps more than 500 children and their families.

Children in Club Rainbow range from newborn babies and youths up to the age of 20 years. They require frequent visits to hospitals for treatment, complicated therapy and long-term medication. On the recommendation of their respective doctors, these children are referred to Club Rainbow for follow-up support.

A holistic approach is taken in helping our Club Rainbow children and their families in the 5 core aspects:

- Emotional Support - Educational help - Social Support - Financial Assistance - Informational Support

We offer a vibrant array of free services to our beneficiaries in the 5 core aspects including home and hospital counseling; centre, hospital and home tuition; befriender services as well as educational seminars. Our centre at NUH has a variety of resources available for parents and their children. These include books, board games and educational computer games.

Club Rainbow (Singapore) is a charitable organization that relies solely on donations from compassionate corporations and kind-hearted individuals to support us in our mission. We are a registered society under the Registry of Societies, a registered charity with the Commissioner of Charities, a full member of National Council of Social Services and accountable to the Ministry of Health (the charity s Sector Administrator). The IPC status given by MOH enables Club Rainbow to provide tax-exempt receipts for all monetary donations received.

About Dignity Kitchen

Dignity Kitchen aims to return the dignity to the disabled and disadvantaged through vocation with passion. It started in October 2010 as Singapore’s first hawker training school for disabled and disadvantaged people. In this competitive Singapore society, the handicapped and elderly are disadvantaged when they try to find jobs. Dignity Kitchen gives job training and placements to these people so that they can have hope for a better future and a better life.

Dignity Kitchen operates as a food court, allowing the public to experience and interact with our students just like at other regular eating places. Dignity Kitchen believes in enhancing educational value both from the inside-out and from the outside-in, as we train our students to serve the public in a real setting and at the same time letting the public get used to handicapped people servicing them when they come to dine at Dignity Kitchen.

THE BAND BEHIND THE SCENE

The initial plan for the MTE concert was a band performance, with about 20 songs performed by the band comprising Benny Se Teo, Jimmy Wong, Roger Koh, Willy Lim, and Sam Wong. However, as more and more entrepreneurs added their efforts to the cause, the team has now expanded to a size of 40 people. This gave way to more possibilities for a variety of performances and the culmination is the final product that you will see today. Here we have a few pictures of the earlier practice jam sessions with the

band doing their first song - 新不了情

At Wealth Directions, we believe that with the proper Financial Education, everyone will be able to filter out unsound investment proposals and make informed decisions for themselves to ensure they accumulate sufficient resources for their retirement years ahead.
