  • Farewell to a Pioneer

    Farewell to a Pioneer

    Today, we bid farewell to a stalwart of Sai Society, affectionately known as “Uncle Karan” – Bro. G Karunakaran, who has ascended to the lotus feet of Bhagawan on the auspicious day of Bheeshma Ekadashi. Uncle Karan was not just an office-bearer; he was one of the pioneers of the Sai Society, standing as a pillar of strength for over two decades.

    Hailing from Kerala, Uncle Karan embarked on his journey to Singapore as a teenager. He dedicated his professional life to serving the Singapore Government in its Public Works Department. However, it was in his retirement that he truly found his calling, devoting the next 25 years to the service of the Sai Society in various capacities, notably as honorary treasurer and honorary secretary.

    Uncle Karan was renowned for his unwavering honesty and principled approach. He meticulously laid the foundations of a robust Sai Centre, implementing stringent financial discipline and core processes that endure to this day. His insistence on accountability was legendary; he famously sought justification for even the smallest expenditure, earning him the endearing moniker ‘Money Karan’. Thanks in part to his financial stewardship, the Sai Society was able to acquire its own premises, the “Sathya Sai Baba Centre” on Moulmein Road. Drawing upon his expertise in public works, Uncle Karan oversaw the construction of the present building, leaving an indelible mark on our physical space.

    Despite his official retirement, Uncle Karan’s commitment to service never waned. He spent countless hours at the Centre, attending to administrative duties with the diligence of a full-time professional, all the while remaining steadfastly behind the scenes. Even after relinquishing his formal roles in 2004, he continued to offer his invaluable guidance and support to successive generations of leaders, embodying the true spirit of selfless service.

    Today, as we reflect on Uncle Karan’s life and legacy, his dedication, integrity, and discipline serve as a beacon of inspiration for us all. Though he may no longer be with us in person, his presence will be deeply felt, and his memory cherished within the walls of our Sai Centre. Uncle Karan, we will miss you dearly, but your training will continue to guide us on our journey forward.

  • Laptops Needed

    Old Laptops Needed

    Sairam!

    We have been making efforts to bridge the digital divide and empower women through Free IT classes in our Help the Helpers Programme. This is in addition to the English classes. We use old, donated laptops to teach IT skills to domestic helpers. Between English & IT classes, over 1600 students have benefited so far.

    Many of the old laptops we have been using have aged out, and are no longer operational. Hence, we now have a critical need for additional laptops.ย 

    If you or your friends have old laptops in working condition that you no longer need, please drop them off at the Sai Centre any day between 9 AM and 12 noon. ย 

    Your help would significantly impact the lives of these students, allowing them to develop important digital skills, and unlock a world of educational resources.ย 

    We will restore the laptops and put them to good use for a student who genuinely needs it.

    Before Pandemic: Sufficient Laptops
