The Tiger Foundation Launch Singapore - April 13th


A huge thank you to all of you who attended the launch of the Tiger Foundation in Singapore on Sunday. It was a great success, made possible only by your attendance and subsequent support. I have been busy the last few days with people contacting me on how they can help the Tiger Foundation. So the objective of this email is to communicate to you all on how you can take the next step in supporting the Tiger Foundation.

Those of you attending Sundays event would remember that we have designed the Tiger Foundation to focus on FOUR Pillars of Activity. These pillars are,

1) Education
2) Environment
3) Exercise
4) Engagement

We have a lead person now assigned to each Pillar. These people are currently creating a strategy of which we will then align projects within that Pillar. You will then be able to consider what project you can support along with ‘how’ you can support those projects.

But you can take action NOW , you can already reach out and advise me, as some of you have already done, on WHAT pillar of activity you would like to support, what interest you may have, particular skill set, passion or network that you can bring to help us out.

Additionally I am still looking for people to help on various elements of the Tiger Foundations core set up.. We have some research projects to complete as well as internet development to be done, so please, if you are interested in either of these, let me know.


Project No 1 – Clean Up Day – Akunwat School – Cambodia

So here is your first chance to help out on the ground in Cambodia as well as to get your first experience of what life is like at the school we are supporting. I will lead a team of volunteers on the weekend of May 24th, 25th to go to the school to clean up all of the rubbish. Yes rubber gloves on and away we go. While there, you will be given a first hand tour of all of the projects that the Tiger Foundation will under take. You will meet the children, the teachers as well as sample local food and hospitality. A trip you won’t want to miss. We need to plan fast, so please send me your commitment to support this event as soon as possible.

In closing I would like to thank you once again for your interest in the Tiger Foundation. We are an organization that thrives on participation and interaction from its members so please never hesitate to get in contact with me on how we can make our organization even better for people to support.

Always remember that “it’s better to light a solitary candle than to curse the darkness”


Thank you all,

Mark Philpott
Tiger Foundation
