𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑬𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉, 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑼𝒔!! A few weeks ago, Bureau Veritas Group rolled up their sleeve and came to GUI for a CSR / teambuilding experience. They were exposed to the amount of wood waste in Singapore. Led by TouchWood GUI, the team took action and upcycled disposed pallets, turning waste wood into a bench. This bench will be given as a gift to the residents of St Andrew's Nursing Home. 💚 Help your company support our environment and community, contact us at kwa@groundupinitiative.org #GroundUpInitiative #grateful #sustainability #touchwood #community #woodworking #carpentry #teamwork #teambuilding #TeamBuilding2022

𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤! When was the last time you spend hours away from your phone? During our Tech Detox sessions, participants are encouraged to keep their phones away and truly be immersed in the experience! 💚 Discover the power when a group of people gets together to work towards the same goal. We had a blast hosting passionate friends from Google, who helped to work on our playhouse. 🏠 Take a look at the transformation! #GroundUpInitiative #grateful #sustainability #touchwood #community #woodworking #carpentry #teamwork #teambuilding #TeamBuilding2022

𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑻𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚 In June, we hosted teachers and staff from Elias Park Primary School at the Kampung Kampus. The participants were exposed to environmental causes, and thereafter enabled and empowered to make simple but beautiful changes. Some of the focus includes; (1) Food security through food production, (2) Upcycling food waste and wood waste. Looking for school workshops?

Psychological and environmental impact of participating in GUI,
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝑭𝒂𝒓𝒎 𝒂𝒕 𝑮𝑼𝑰? To investigate the psychological and environmental impact of participating in GUI, we got new volunteers to complete a survey before volunteering at GUI and after two months. The same survey was administered to members of the public who were not involved with GUI. Details in comments. Want to help run this project or learn more? Contact @SeanNicholas or @guienquiries. This is a research effort by Sean Nicholas & Yeng Yen. #Gracious #Green #Giving #Grounded #Grateful
