1. Overview and Objectives

1.1 Organisation Profile

Avelife Foundation is a Volunteer Welfare Organization conceived in May 2009 and set up in

November 2009 by Mr Zech Goh and Mr Mark Cheng.

It comprises of an advisory Board, a Board of Directors, a management team and a group of

passionate volunteers whose vision is to create avenues to improve the quality of lives of the

socially disadvantaged by matching support and funding for Public Health Programmes and

advocating Sustainable Development.

We also aspire to impart green values to the community through service learning. ‘Ave’ means

‘salute’ in Latin and ‘Avelife’ means saluting life!

1.2 Who are we

Our Core Values:

Ecofriendly | Empathy | Effectiveness| Efficiency |Excellence

1.4 Our Logo

The Avelife logo spells out the name of our organization, with green, white and blue concentric

circles shaping the Avelife initial letter “a”.

Blue is used to symbolize water, and therefore “life”. Green embodies our commitment to the

environment. Meanwhile, the white ring between the blue and green circles represents the “gap”,

within the community, between the promotion of public health (“life”) and protecting the

environment. With this combination of colors, the Avelife logo aims to convey our

organization’s plans to use sustainable resources to bridge the gap for the betterment of both

people’s lives and the environment.

The green Initial letter “a” stands out from the rest, represents Avelife’s vision of being an

advocator of Green Innovation for Active learners and Corporate leaders. A variety of programs

will be implemented which will incorporate Green and Resource Management Values and

encourage the birth of Green Innovation ideas.

At Avelife, we firmly believe that we must first start by reaching out and working towards

improving the health and quality of life of our communities in order to effectively protect the

environment.

Thus we hope to increase awareness of Green Innovation through service learning using the Arts

as a medium and leading various Green related events and activities.
