Good evening, and welcome to the MSF Volunteer and Partner Awards 2023. Each year, MSF recognises the selfless dedication and passionate service of our volunteers and partners in the social service sector. This year, we recognise 44 volunteers and 316 partners. Without partners and volunteers, we would not be able, as a society, to uplift those who are in need. Your steadfast contributions give strength to our collective spirit, and make it possible for our society to leave no one behind. You are part of the social compact that makes Singapore a caring society, united and cohesive.
