CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: Raising thousands for charity since he was 11, J'den Teo continues doing good in NS
J'den Teo learned how to paint when he was 11 years old for one reason — so that he could sell his artworks to raise funds for charity. In the last 9 years, he has raised over $100,000 by selling his own works, and organising exhibitions for other young artists to do the same. In 2017, he was conferred the President's Volunteerism and Philanthropy Award. J'den, who is currently in National Service, shares why even now, he uses part of his precious free time during weekends to provide companionship to the vulnerable and lonely.
