Launch of Dads For Life Website

On April 1, 2010, our team sat through a launch ceremony of a website that we have painstakingly taken few months to do – a community portal that aims to engage the fathers in Singapore to be “present” in their children’s lives. The website - www.dadsforlife.sg - is sponsored by Ministry of Community, Youths, and Sports and, designed and built ……by Xtremax!!!!
The website, launched by Vivian Balakrishnan, is designed with web 2.0 tools, such as Forums, Twitter, Youtube, Widgets, Facebook to create a thriving Dads’ community. It is a resource portal that provides fathers with tips and tools to stay connected with their children.
Before this web design project for Dads for Life, I didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem of Father-Absence. A society built on uninvolved fathers is often plagued with problems like “a higher rate of poverty, failure in school , teen pregnancy , substance abuse, violent crime, depression, and ultimately loss of hope.” (source : National Center for Fathering.) Wow, that is very serious.
So fathers, go to www.dadsforlife.sg and make your commitment today.
