Paper Weaving Basket
Weaving is an ethnically diverse form of craft. A very prominent example of a weaving product is a basket. Why especially baskets? The craft of weaving baskets plays a significant role as an icon for both culture and ethnicity. This embraces the value of diversity.
Next, weaving is a craft that is easily learnt. As a community in Singapore, we must seek to weave inclusivity in our society, regardless of the needy, the disabled or the elderly.
We can use a fruit basket as a comparison to the community. Every fruit needs to be included in the basket to transform it into a beautiful fruit basket. Likewise, it is only when everybody is included (the disabled, needy and elderly), then we are able to transform into a beautiful community. A basket is also used to hold and carry things. Hence, as teachers or parents, we want to carry every child through their growing years, embracing their diverse needs.
Send us your SSDB Stories!
In line with SSDB's theme this year, "Stay Connected, Make a difference", fulfilling and enriching curriculums were conducted. The little ones were able to do good for the communities despite the pandemic restrictions.
