The COVID-19 situation made it difficult in getting together physically. FOCUS Adventure continued diving in the virtual realm resulting in creating many different activities. One such activity is our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) The Online Shopping Challenge! where participants are tasked to not only have fun through various challenges, but also to be able to give back to society! On behalf of our beneficiaries, we thank our client for their contribution! It is definitely not easy as with COVID-19 protocols, there are many restrictions to be adjusted to doing CSR programmes virtually one such factor is the scepticism in terms of engagement level of the participants as well as meeting the objectives.
However, FOCUS Adventure FAcilitators have gone through many experiences as well as armed as Certified Virtual Facilitator under the International institute for facilitation. We continuously engage and surprise participants through our virtual adventure learning programmes! Hence, we continue to help not only our clients but also our beneficiaries through our virtual programmes and to meeting their objectives!
With COVID-19 still causing inconvenience for many, we continue our mission in the name of sustainability! This activity was derived from having our own internal sessions in hopes to preserving our environment. Thereafter, we decided “hey lets invite everyone else in on the fun! To be away from work and stressful environment, we practice the idea of mindfulness to enjoy the serenity of the environment and provide a platform for all ages.
Although people tend to preach about conserving the environment the impact only comes when you actually come see it for yourselves! Every session that we attempt would only contribute to perhaps 0.0001% of protecting the Earth BUT if we all contribute and work together eventually that small percentage would continue to grow especially into good habits to our next generation.
Hence this is where we create the opportunity to spread the knowledge to all who are willing to learn and to enjoy! So wait no further, come join the family and our mission to sustainability!
The FOCUS Adventure Sustainability team strives to continue giving and creating smiles for all those around us! It was indeed a challenge having to ensure these bikes are properly maintained, fixed and sent to our beneficiary! All the hard labour was definitely worth it at the end of the day as we managed to deliver a total of 30 bicycles at once! These were also properly checked and sanitised before transferring to our beneficiary’s location with only one lorry! We thank everyone, our participants, our colleagues and our beneficiaries for making this possible! We look forward to continue impacting people and create meaning in lives!
Through many explorations, there is much to be discovered. Everything has a system even the environment. When you go close to a tree and you would see that there are many different life forms all coexisting together as a system! This is something we link towards theories where everyone is of equal value. Today, our most valuable highlight is saving a family of horseshoe crabs! At a glance there seem to be only two horseshoe crabs stuck in a stray fishing net. It was only when we lifted the net to our disarray that we discover so many of them stuck underneath. Horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils as they have been around for over 244 million years! These poor arthropods are normally sort for their blood for medical purposes and hunted in Asian countries to be eaten especially their eggs. It was heart -warming for us as we were able to set them free!
As mentioned, everything is part of the system. Hence in order to maintain the system we need to protect and preserve life and it is a pity seeing inconsiderate people who would cast their net irresponsibly. The mission is not over yet. There is still a lot that needs to be done. Let us all work together on this! Join us soon for our next adventure! See you soon!

12th May 2021
Selamat Hari Raya to everyone!
Since the pandemic started, we have been housing Malaysian workers in our 3 hectares wide campsite. While most of the businesses in Singapore had come to a halt, our Malaysian workers from essential sectors such as cleaning, engineering, and so on, have been working tirelessly for us, even during the festive period. Some Malaysian workers here have not been able to return to their families since 2020 Malaysia’s MCO (Movement Control Order) and closing of borders. This is their 2nd Hari Raya in Singapore without their families with them. Hence, our team decided to come up with an initiative within our campsite in hopes to keep their spirits up!
We have purchased groceries to be packed and distributed to the workers as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts. After weeks of packing and planning, we are finally able to distribute them! The care packs consist of daily necessities such as rice, masks, coffee, raya cookies etc. Some of our colleagues have also taken the extra mile to gather donations from their friends and relatives to chip in more money or raya cookies and drinks to add to the care pack!
On 12th May, our team decided to make Bandung (a very popular drink among our Malay friends and colleagues, we realized!) for the workers residing in our campsite. We bought the ingredients and set up a couple of Bandung Booth at our hard-court, complying with safety distance measures of course! Along with the Bandung Booth, we also have a generous donor “Warung Kita” whom cooked and prepared 170 sets of Rendang Chicken with Ketupat for the workers! They have arranged the whole day on the 12 just to cater to us so the workers can have a home cooked meal in Singapore. Some of our colleagues were invited down to assist in packing them in bentos and they were salivating at the looks and smell of the food!
From 6.30pm onwards, our team dispatch the workers room by room turns to visit our Food booth and Bandung Booth with their bottles and flasks, filling them up with smiles plastered on their faces. It was a success!
To end of the evening, we have also prepared the all-time favourite Malaysian Ice Cream (Ice Pops) and to our delight, the workers were so surprised and elated seeing it.

Employee engagement is an essential driver of Organisational success. When employees are engaged with their work, they’re more fulfilled, more productive and more motivated to create satisfied and long term customers.

They will be rated in terms of their frequencies in the 5 Leadership Practices and their behaviours in each of the Practice. At the end of the course, employees will better understand about themselves and how they can do better in their areas of improvement to show a higher frequency towards the 5 Practices. As a result, they are able to improve in their Leadership qualities and skills.
Team Management Profiling (TMP) Course
This course is designed for teams to learn about their team’s behaviours and strengths. The Team Management Profiling tool studies an individual’s preference in the type of job out of 8 different types in a team. As a result, teams will identify where they lack and which areas they have high competencies on.
DISC Personality Course
Employees learn about themselves and understand how they can communicate better with their fellow co-workers. They go through the concept of strengths and weaknesses and learn to identify others who might fall under the four traits and communicate effectively.
