OUR TEAM

Meet The Consultant

I love reading, so helping children to learn to read is my passion in life. This led me to join BOLD in 2005 to start the Focus on Literacy Program. My first challenge was to train a team to help children in a SJKT learn to read Tamil, a language I did not know! Such challenges in the years I worked for BOLD pushed me to work harder to learn more about different strategies to help children who have difficulties learning to read. Currently, I divide my time between my own private practice and continuing to help BOLD to develop its Focus on Literacy Program.

Meet The Staff

Jess Cheah

I have worked more than 10 years at BOLD. Starting from a medical background with little experience working with children, I joined BOLD because it was, and still is, my career objective to help people in need while, at the same time, improving myself. I like working here because I enjoy teaching the children.

Our Dedicated Team

BOLD is able to reach more than 100 children every year through the efforts of the many dedicated volunteers who teach and play with the children several times a week. Some join us for short projects, others have stayed with us for many years. Our current volunteers are all conducting Focus on Literacy teaching sessions as other intervention programs are still on hold due to Covid constraints.
