There was a heady mixture of tears and laughter at Club HEAL’s 5th Anniversary Charity Gala Dinner on 18 Jan 2018 at Keat Hong Community Club as nearly 600 guests and supporters celebrated five years of healing.

The event was very special for many reasons one of it was because it was graced by the President of the Republic of Singapore, Mdm Halimah Yacob, our Chief Patron from the inception of Club HEAL.

With its mission to banish stigma against mental illness and the people associated with it, Club HEAL shared many stories of recovery amongst its peers and caregivers and staff. Writer, editor and peer support specialist Yohanna Abdullah launched Club HEAL’s latest and fourth book “A Place in the Sun” and its Malay version “Di Bawah Sinaran Mentari” with an inspiring speech about the book journey and ended with reading four poems Hope, Empowerment, Acceptance and Love. Heryani Jamaludin, shared her experiences as a psychiatrist nurse in her inaugural book “You Can Do Your Best”.

Administrative assistant of Club HEAL and musician Mano Esperanza sang his beautiful composition about our club in a song called Kampung HEAL. Intern Faizal lead the audience to sing the theme song of the night which is the same title of the book “A Place in the Sun”, sung originally by Engelbert Humpledinck.There was a rousing dikir barat performance by Club HEALers.

The night was a resounding success thanks to everyone who got a chance to mingle and get to know the heartwarming story of Club HEAL also through a beautiful corporate video made by Eunice Olsen Media. A huge thanks to all our donors and sponsors for your generous support!
