Let’s Celebrate the Most Precious Gift
This Festive Season—Family
As the year draws to a close, it is the perfect time to reflect and hold on—to the memories we’ve made, to the possibilities that lie ahead, and to the ones who have been there with us through it all.
This festive season, as we cherish those closest to us, we would like to present ‘Till the End of Time’ initiative, and invite everyone to join us in celebrating the most precious gift of all—family.
As part of this initiative, we are partnering with New Life Stories (NLS), a non-profit organisation dedicated to preventing intergenerational incarceration and supporting families as they navigate the challenges that arise when a loved one is in prison.
Together, we hope to inspire everyone to be part of this initiative, and help to rebuild family connections despite their circumstances, to give their children a fairer start to life.
Watch this video to discover the true meaning of family, second chances, and the moments in life that lead you back home.
Taking Love Beyond the Walls Together
In collaboration with New Life Stories, we have co-created the book, ‘Love Beyond the Walls: Till the End of Time’, which includes a heartfelt foreword penned by President Tharman.
Written by inmates under New Life Stories’ incare programme, illustrated by former inmates from CANVAS, and supported by Yellow Ribbon Project, this book is a heartfelt collection of 10 stories conveying love and hope from the incarcerated parents to their children.
During this season of giving, we hope you can preorder the book at www.TillTheEndOfTime.sg, with 100% of sales proceeds going directly to New Life Stories.
You can also show your support for the initiative by downloading any of the three preview e-stories from the book, and even stand a chance to be 1 of 5 lucky winners to win $100 eCapitaVoucher and a copy of ‘Love Beyond the Walls: Till the End of Time’.
With your pledge to this initiative, Geneco will also be donating $15,000 to the Family Strengthening Programme by New Life Stories, which will help further their efforts in preventing intergenerational incarceration, reducing re-offending, and enhancing family stability and community inclusion.

For an extra special treat, you and your little ones can join Kelly Latimer on 14 December 2024, from 12:30 PM to 1 PM at Jurong Regional Library, as she brings three stories from the book to life in a captivating storytelling session perfect for you and your little ones.
