Capella Singapore Kicks Off The Season Of Giving With A Social Cause
The luxury hotel partnered with the Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN) to launch two new initiatives to support local communities
In these challenging times, we could all use a day or two of luxuriating at a splendid hotel.
But it's also important not to forget about those who need a little help. Capella Singapore has partnered up with the Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN) to introduce two initiatives that not only offer you a chance to get some much needed TLC, but also the opportunity to help and empower local communities, especially the youths.
APSN is a social service agency that provides education for person with mild intellectual disabilities. The agency currently operates four Special Education Schools for students aged seven to 21.
