Executive Director, Neighbour Ring Community Services (恩邻社区服务)
Daniel Xu
I lead a social service agency in Singapore, train as a counsellor, and write about the space where faith, care, and everyday life meet.
I'm the Executive Director of NRCS (Neighbour Ring Community Services), a charity serving seniors and families in the Joo Seng neighbourhood. I'm also completing a Master's in Counselling from Singapore Bible College. My work sits at the intersection of community, faith, and mental health, and I write to make sense of what I see there.
