Card Making at LCCS

Hello dear bloggers,

It's been so long... I have been busy with United Healing Sanctuary and all our activities. We celebrated our eight anniversary in June this year. I have been hosting art workshops at The Star Shelter which gives refuge to women facing domestic violence and for the LCCS as well. Lutheran Community Care and Services (LCCS) does brilliant work for the community and I am so happy to be associated with them.

Here are some photos of the community day on June 9th, 2024 where I set up a cardmaking table for the kids and parents. It was a nice way to bring families together. Art is indeed a great bonding practice.

I wish you peace through creativity and art, my friends,

Monica

About Me

My name is Monica and I am a mother to two lovely girls aged 22 and 14. We moved back to Singapore in June 2014 after having lived in Jakarta, Indonesia and Mumbai. I have a background in Psychology and Sociology Honours along with a post grad diploma in Journalism. I used to work in direct marketing for a premium hotel in India before I decided to become a stay at home mother. I have been creating and selling greeting cards for charity since 17 years. I often use unusual packaging material on my cards to respect and care for the environment. Presently, I share my cards as well as the proceeds from their sales with a shelter that houses and supports abused women in Singapore. Besides this, I run an initiative (UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY - UWS) on meditation, wellness, art and culture. You can find my page on Facebook under the name of UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY-UWS. I also hold mindfulness/wellness workshops for parents in my younger one's school. Besides, I hold Mindful Art and Card workshops for mothers and children.
