FOR the first time, Christians, Buddhists and Muslims have come together to raise funds for needy Institute of Technical Education (ITE) students in the South West district by collecting recyclables.
The project, involving City Harvest Church, the Singapore Soka Association and a group of 13 mosques in the south west, is on its way to exceeding its target of raising $60,000 too.
The three religious groups, each aiming to raise $5,000, have rallied their followers into donating old newspapers and clothing, which will be sold to a recycling company. An anonymous corporate sponsorhas donated $15,000 to the cause, and the South West Community Development Council (CDC) will match the funds raised dollar for dollar.
