Sonic Bowl echoed with laughter and cheers as SUSS Bowling and Ray of Hope, for the second year running, hosted the Building Community Champions through Sport initiative. More than just a bowling event, it was a vibrant celebration of joy, inclusivity, and meaningful connections.
Through sport, SUSS fostered bonds amongst migrant workers, youths, and diverse communities, creating a space for genuine interactions. Teams were purposefully formed with a mix of migrant workers, Ray of Hope volunteers, and SUSS Bowling students, ensuring an inclusive experience for all.
This initiative is a testament to our commitment to building a cohesive and united society. It reminds us that every connection made and every bond strengthened contributes to the fabric of our nation.
Together, let’s build a future filled with hope and belonging. Let’s take action today for a stronger Singapore tomorrow.
