SINGAPORE - When Temasek Polytechnic student Stella Chan came across a project that involved helping to improve access to clean water in neighbouring Bintan, she decided to get involved.
She roped in three other students from her polytechnic and raised $2,000 to fund a Safe Water Gardens (SWG) sanitation system for the Suparno family, who live on the island - located about an hour from Singapore by ferry.
