on a trip to Japan in 2012 after the country was hit by a tsunami software developer, Abraham Your was struck by how the homeless survivors felt they were forgotten and left behind. In Singapore, he noticed that the elderly have felt forgotten, too. In 2014 he and friends started the homeless Hearts Off Singapore, an outreach group. Every other week, about 30 volunteers give food and drinks to those sleeping in the rough and defend them, split up into groups and do night walks in various areas to cheque on the homeless. We don't just want to give them food and walk away. Seems to you we want to sit down and talk to them as friends. The charity wants to dispel the misconception that homeless people are lazy or brought their misfortunes upon themselves.
