Dads for Life
Dads for Life inspires fathers to be better role models in their children's lives. Join us at GMSP to take part in fun activities and make a lasting difference.
About Us
Launched in 2009, DADs for Life (DFL) is Singapore’s National Fathers Movement that seeks to inspire, mobilise and involve fathers to become good influences in their children’s lives – for life! The DADs for Life movement is an initiative of Centre for Fathering, a non-profit organisation established in 2000 that empowers more fathers to be better role models and an enduring inspiration to their children
DFL@GMSP was launched in 2011 and had been organising activities to mobilise and inspire fathers of GMSP students to ACT:
· Be AWARE of the importance of a father’s role
· COMMIT to be good fathers and role models to their children
· Spend TIME, acquire TOOLS and bring TRANSFORMATION to lives
A group of fathers from the school formed a small committee to plan and organise activities for the movement in the school. We are partially funded by the school and Christalite Methodist Chapel, and enthusiastically supported by the School Leaders.
Examples of past events include hiking activities, kite-flying, parenting talks, laser tag games, overnight camping at Pulau Ubin and many others. Those who attended rated these events well and became more committed fathers after each event.
If you are a father, have a child/children in GMSP, and would like to volunteer with us, do contact me at yingmushijiang@gmail.com (opens in new tab)!
Warmest Regards,
Sze Kiang
