After the father of two boys he was mentoring died, a volunteer with the Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC) went the extra mile to make sure they were coping well emotionally.
"I kept a lookout... to see if there was anything they would have liked to talk about and tried to observe... how (the death) was affecting them," said Mr Goh Chek Meng, 43.
