SINGAPORE – Earlier in November, Mr Aarvin Giovanni, 44, introduced his two children to volunteering for the first time to get into the festive spirit.
He and his family have spent time convincing passers-by to donate $50 to get a teddy plush at the Bears for Good Central Roadshow at Marina Square. His wife is Ms Gurpreet Kaur, a 40-year-old manager in IT procurement. They have a daughter Ashleen Kaur, nine, and a six-year-old son, Aaryan Singh.
