A Helping Hand
SG Mummies United is a Facebook group that was set up to provide help for mums who are struggling during COVID-19. Any mum can join the group, whether to extend help or request baby essentials.

Swanky site
Sir Manasseh Meyer International School’s website recently underwent a makeover. The school moved to a new campus in 2016 and it was time for the website to match the fresh look. The process was led by a professional design company and involved all of the school’s stakeholders: trustees, staff, parents and students. The result is a new branding and online presence that reflects the community at the heart of SMMIS.
