SOS Website
Samaritans of Singapore is a non-profitable and non-religious organization that befriends and helps give emotional support to the people who are suicidal and also to those who need a listening ear. SOS was established on December 1st, 1969. Its early beginnings were in 1953, The Samaritans was started by Reverend Chad Varad in the United Kingdom. Soon after, Samaritans become an international, non-religious movement providing support to those who are in distress and suicidal people.
The website simply awes us. I think this is the only non-profitable organization that was in the list of organizations we had to choose from which uses flash. It has a very nice interface and also interactive but since it is using flash, no copying and pasting can be done. And the most important thing that they should have isn’t there. That thing would be social media tools.
In my opinion, Singaporeans should be aware of the existence of this organization because it is meant for them. Before doing this project, I had no idea that this organization existed. Even my group members didn’t know too. This shows that SOS has to create more awareness and let people know what the organization is all about. Since technology is now more advanced, we intend to make use of all the useful tools that will help to create more awareness to the people and in the fastest and easiest way.
This organization will help people in a great deal as in life, we will face problems endlessly. Those problems and challenges that we face are only to make ourselves stronger and more resistant because God won’t test us beyond our capabilities. People shouldn’t think of suicide as the best way to end a problem. No. Well technically yes, suicide will put an end to your problems but will only create more problems for your loved ones. Suicide is not even an option. The people around us are there for a reason. Isn’t it better to share and talk about whatever that we’re dealing with with those around us. As the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved.
