Visist to the Handicaps Welfare Association by the Sec 5 students.

Handicaps Welfare Association (HWA), founded in 1969 by a group of 23 persons to promote self-help and provide mutual support among the disabled in Singapore, is an organisation run by people with disabilities, for people with disabilities. It was first registered as the Singapore Handicaps Friendship Club. It later became known as Singapore Association for the Disabled in 1975. In 1976, it adopted the present name - Handicaps Welfare Association.





The home is located at Whampo Drive. A group of Sec 5 students visited the home on the 27th March 2009 as part of their Community Involvement Project.

We thought it never ends.....
We sing and dance for ever and a day....
