The Singapore
Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH) needs volunteers / donors
to support and assist in its various programmes and activities for
vision impaired persons.
We also appreciate individuals who would like to come forward to offer
their skills to organize specific activities. For example, if you are a
hair stylist, then you can volunteer your skills to cut the hair of our
beneficiaries. Or if you are good at music, you may want to conduct
a music class.
