Appreciating NSmen Art Jam 2025
The Appreciating NSmen Art Jam, a joint initiative by SAFRA and the Association of Early Childhood and Training Services (ASSETS), promotes greater appreciation among preschool children of the important role of national servicemen in Singapore’s defence and security. As part of the initiative, children will learn about National Service and create appreciation gifts for their fathers or other national servicemen in their extended families in the lead up to SAF Day and National Day.
This year, as Singapore celebrates 60 years of independence, the initiative serves as a timely reminder of the peace and stability the nation has enjoyed over six decades, made possible by the steadfast dedication of generations of national servicemen.
