GreenFingers, GreatHearts: AMorningatOurCharityFarm

There is a unique kind of magicthathappenswhenthe sunrisesoverthemarina, but on 31 Jan 2026, theheartofthe actionwasn’tonthewater it wasinthesoil. Ourdedicated Members and staff gathered together for a day of Charity Farm session It was truly a morning to remember: a vibrant blend of gardening, teamwork, andthesimplejoy ofgivingback

While SAFYC is often defined by the adrenaline of a competitive race, this session servedasareminderthatourClubisanall-roundedcommunity. Beyondthesails, our heart beats for sustainability and nurturing a space where every Member can find a senseofpurpose.

The "Seed" of an Idea

We spoke with Ms Aimee Lim, one of the Charity Farm founding Members, to ask what "sparked" the realisation that our Club needed a farm instead of moreboatstorage

CORNER

AHarvestofAbundance

Our farm has blossomed into a lush sanctuary, boasting a variety of produce that would make any green grocer envious As our Members moved through the rows, theytendedtoourheavybunchesofbananas (includingthebananahearts), ripening papaya, vibrantladyfingers, andfragrantchives

CORNER

MoreThanJustaMarina

This session was a testament to the fact that SAFYC is more than just a recreationalmarinaspot Weareafamilythatgrowstogether– quiteliterally! We didn't just harvest vegetables; we cultivated friendships and strengthened our commitmenttothecommunitybysharingtheharvestedproducetoSembawang CCfordistributiontoourneedyneighbours.

ForthoseMemberswhohaven’tjoinedasessionyet, Ms Aimeehighlightstheone thingyoucan’tseeinthephotos: TheKampungspiritofcommunitygiving.

"This is something that can be ‘harvested’ at the farm but is not able to be ‘seen’ in photos," Ms. Aimee explains. Whether it involves packing the greens or delivering themtobeneficiaries, theexperiencerewardseveryoneinvolvedwithadeepsenseof fulfilmentandcontribution.

2.Whatdoesadayinyourworklooklike?

No 2 days are the same. A typical day may involve reviewing accounts, following up onpayments,respondingtoqueriesfromdifferentdepartments,liaisingwithauditors, or looking into matters that require clarification. There’s a mix of analysis, communication,andplanningthatkeepsmeonmytoes.

3.Ifyouhadasuperpower,whatwouldyouwantthattobe?

I’d choose the ability to pause time — just long enough to observe carefully, analyse thesituation,andresolveissueswithclarityandprecision.Italignsquitewellwithmy ISTPpersonality:practical,analytical,andhands-on.

4.Whatkindofhobbiesandinterestsdoyouhaveoutsideofwork?

I still do backup singing at Church worship service, which I really enjoy. I used to spend more time on board games and karaoke, but these days, most of my hobby time is spent exploring the latest, most fun playgrounds in Singapore with my kids — amixofadventure,laughter,anddiscoveringnewwaystohavefuntogether!”

6.What’syourbiggestachievementsofarinlife?

People usually see me as calm and serious at work, but I actually have a playful, adventurous side. For example, I’m terrified of roller coasters, yet I’m often the one asking for another round after the first ride—my friends find it hilarious, and I just laughalongwiththem.It’salittlewayIturnfearintofunandembracelife’ssurprises.

I don’t think of my life in terms of big achievements, but I feel proud of maintaining balance—nurturingmyfamily,keepingpersonalgrowthgoing,andstayinggrounded in my faith. It’s the little wins in daily life that matter most: being present, learning fromchallenges,andstayingconsistentwithwhatIvalue.
