SATURDAY SPECIAL REPORT
Forget institutions, go solo
By Sheere Ng , Elaine Ng and Faith Chen

EIGHT Cambodian children in traditional Khmer costumes nervously position themselves in the spacious, resort-style living room of a two-storey bungalow in Changi.

Their audience smiles in encouraging approval as they belt out: 'Hello my friends, I'm happy to be in Singapore. We are here as a big family. Let's be happy and join together.'

They have come a long way from the slums of Phnom Penh to be here and for that they can thank Ms Priscilla Teoh, 44, a trail-blazing proponent of the next big thing in charity - neo-philanthropy.

Read the full report in Saturday's edition of The Straits Times.
