Good deed: She helped the homeless - she was once homeless

Youth praised by PM Lee for helping the homeless slept on the streets when she was a teenager

SINGAPORE - When undergraduate Roslina Toh read about Malaysians working in Singapore who were stranded after the Malaysian border was closed to stem the spread of Covid-19 in March last year, she decided to help at once.

She led a team of about 200 volunteers from various churches, and for more than a month, they spent almost every night looking for people who were sleeping rough and wanted a refuge.

The Home Away from Home initiative took those who wanted a temporary roof over their heads to Transit Point @ Margaret Drive, a shelter for the homeless run by New Hope Community Services, and offered food and sleeping bags to those who preferred to rough it out on the streets.
