            The NYAA Young Photographers’ Network (YPN) has
            nurtured  many  outstanding  young  photographers.
            Many  have  been  paying  forward  by  contributing
            their talent and skills to help the less fortunate in our
            society.

            Mr Brandon Chia, a Registered Nurse at the Tan Tock
            Seng Hospital and an NYAA Gold Award holder (2015
            Cohort)  and  Mr  Jason  Pan,  an  Electrical  Engineer
            and  an  NYAA  Gold  Award  holder  (2006  Cohort),
            volunteered their photography skills to capture more  NYAA young photographers at work for charity at Northeast
            than 200 art pieces and paintings created by a group   CDC.
            of  talented  people  with  disabilities  for  an  online
            fundraising  project  in  2021.  Mr  Chia  and  Mr  Pan
            brought  in  their  photography  equipment  and  shot
            more than 200 art pieces and paintings for the online
            catalogue.

            The  fundraising  project  was  held  in  November
            and  December  2021  and  has  successfully  raised
            more  than  $100,000.00  for  eleven  beneficiaries
            organisations.  Northeast  Community  Development
            Council General Manager Mr Kelvin Thong was very
            grateful and thanked NYAA, Mr Chia and Mr Pan for
            their  excellent  work  capturing  the  best  of  the  200
            art  pieces  and  paintings  through  their  lens  for  the
            fundraising project.
