SAF Volunteer Corps (SAFVC)
From family

Mdm Darrell Lim

Volunteerism in any form should be encouraged by all parents. SAFVC is certainly one of the many ways an individual can contribute, particularly towards the defence of our nation.

As her parents, we are always supportive of Adelia in her academic and character development. When she voiced her interest to join the SAF Volunteer Corps (SAFVC), safety was our utmost concern, especially since SAFVC was relatively new with limited information available back then. Another important consideration was whether Adelia would be able to cope with the rigors and demands of military training.

She explained to us what SAFVC is about and we visited the SAFVC booth at the SAF50 Exhibition at VivoCity, hoping to find out more. The senior officers, in particular, Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Lim Shuen, impressed upon us the purpose of SAFVC and they addressed our queries and concerns, which increased our understanding of the SAFVC.

We are pleased that our daughter was able to cope and gained important values from the training; and indeed we are proud of her achievements culminating at the Beret Presentation Parade.

Volunteerism in any form should be encouraged by all parents. SAFVC is certainly one of the many ways an individual can contribute, particularly towards the defence of our nation.
