Dr. Lim Yew Lyn

Dr Lyn is a medical doctor who began her community service journey since the age of 18. She has volunteered with children of all backgrounds e.g. HIV orphans in Kenya, orang asli children, handicapped children, down syndrome children etc. She absolutely adores all children and believes that they should be given the chance and opportunity to learn. She is very passionate when it comes to humanitarian efforts and hopes that she can continue to reach out to more children and communities out there. Even though she does find it challenging at times to juggle between working as a doctor and running this NGO full time, she knows deep in her heart that all these children are worth it and seeing their happy faces is the best reward she can ask for. She is also very grateful to her husband, Shawn for being there for her throughout this journey and supporting her every step of the way.
