“From my youth, I was fortunate to meet a great man-of-action who overcame the odds to make an impact to the people and environment around him. As my personal mentor, he helped shape my values and mentality and has been my motivation to embark on this challenge to make a cleaner and better world.

In 2018, I saw the opportunity to set up Kindred Community, starting from Singapore but with an eye on the region. I believe that when people come together in a united heart and spirit, unfathomable power will come out of it. We are proud to be the country representative for Let’s Do It (LDI), a global movement that envisions civic communities working together to keep the world clean. Singapore’s inaugural participation in World Cleanup Day 2018 was encouraging and we hope to work with even more partners, to push for greater change, moving forward.”

For most, travelling is largely a leisure affair, associated with clear blue skies, lovely white beaches and traveling in style. But for Agustin or Agus as she’s endearingly known, being a travel industry professional for the past 13 years, ‘travel’ switches her on to high alert mode; ready to face multi-faceted situations and serve the best (and worst) travelers from all walks of life, all over the world… always with a smile. Agus is currently a Client Manager at Finnair, one of the world’s oldest operating airlines.

“I count myself very fortunate to have traveled to many places. One of my most memorable experiences was travelling to South Korea for the first time in 2006. There, I saw firsthand, how South Koreans sort their waste. Back then, I believe it was something almost unheard of in Singapore and that trip changed my life. When I returned to Singapore, I tried to integrate what I saw and learnt in Korea into my own lifestyle. Later, when I traveled to countries like Germany, Finland, and Estonia, I learnt more about sustainable and zero waste living, which they were already making huge strides in. Even as Singapore progresses economically, we lag way behind in terms of sustainability. I often see people disposing unwanted items without a second thought. The fact that we have become more affluent has also made us more irresponsible when dealing with waste. If recycled right, these ‘waste’ items can be turned into valuable resources. We owe it to ourselves and our future generations to keep this one planet that we all share, sustainable.”

“One of the perks of being involved in volunteer work internationally is the chance to travel and develop a world view. I remember attending one of my first overseas conferences at a beach resort. One evening, while everyone was relaxing after a full day of activities, I noticed one older person making his way towards the beach instead of the party. There, he rolled up his pants and sleeves and started cleaning the beach. Later, I found out that person was the President of one of the biggest volunteer organisations in the world; he was invited as a keynote speaker for the conference. Young and fearless as I was then, I went up to him and asked why he was doing what he did. To that, he said gently, “If I do not clean, who will?” At that, I rolled up my sleeves and joined him in the beach cleaning and slowly, more people noticed us and joined us too. That night, it became a beach cleaning party and a most unforgettable experience for me. To anyone thinking about volunteering, don’t ever think you are too small to start. Your actions may come from the smallest of thoughts but who knows what great game changers we can be in this world!
