transformational programmes and selling handcrafted silk merchandise produced by Tabitha ’ s silk cottage industry . BT also partnered with massage therapists from the Singapore Association for the Visually Handicapped ( SAVH ) and invited physiotherapists from Core Concepts to host a wellness day dedicated to strengthening health and wellness for the mind and body .
