The Language Of Kindness is a sequel to our much loved book 'A New Virus has Arrived'. Through beautiful illustrations, this bilingual book reflects acts of kindness 'small things with great love' by all the silent heroes in Singapore amidst the Covid-19 outbreak.
We respect every child as a curious and capable individual. They are constantly acquiring knowledge and have the innate capacity for judgement, free thinking, questioning and understanding. As they try to make sense of the world, let us not forget to highlight that they have the capacity to choose to do small things with great love.
We hope this book opens up opportunities for dialogue and learning, for both child and adult.

The ECF has over the years championed causes that have benefitted children and youth in unfortunate circumstances.

Other initiatives include setting up a play library and programmes to enhance literacy and creative language development in young children. The ECF has also disbursed bursaries to families to further their children’s education. Recently the ECF donated to the KKH Health Fund to improve the care of less privileged children with diabetes to improve the quality of their lives in school and at home.
The ECF ‘box of joy’ initiative that has completed 4 successful years has distributed more than 8000 gift boxes to children in Singapore. Through the baby bonus account, the ECF has benefited 300 children and helped to further their education.
