Knowledge
The Pillar of Success
Education can change a person's future. With education, the student from a single-parent household can build a better future for his or her family; the undergraduate from a less privileged household is able to pursue his or her passion; the child from a low-income family can be given access to a world of possibilities.
"Some days, I have to go to school without having any pocket money. Being able to eat in school is not an option for me..."
(mentioned by an RFS beneficiary in her interview with MediaCorp RIA 89.7FM on 10 June 2016; translated in English)
Imagine having only $1,600 a month to care for a family of eight, with the family's staple food being only rice, egg and soy sauce to get through the day.
This is just one of the many real stories that some students faced in their pursuit of education. Log on to www.amp-rfs.sg for the full interview recordings of our beneficiaries, who shared their stories on MediaCorp Radio RIA 89.7FM last week.
