The ‘Super Sleuths’ is the third book in the series of publications on the COVID 19 pandemic after ‘A new virus has arrived’ and ‘The language of kindness’. The book is dedicated to the work of the contact tracing team in Singapore that has done an outstanding job in mitigating and controlling the spread of the virus. Through beautiful illustrations, the book shares:
We respect children as curious and capable individuals. They are constantly making sense of their interactions and building an understanding of the world. As parents, we have an innate desire to protect our children against anything harmful. Instead of succumbing to our fears, let us instead engage and connect with our children as we support them in navigating the world.
We hope this book opens up opportunities for dialogue and learning, for both child and adult.

The EtonHouse Community Fund Limited (ECF) is a Registered Charity Approved by the Commissioner of Charities in Singapore and is an Institution of Public Character (IPC). It was founded in 2015 on the organisation’s strong belief in the importance of education and that every child regardless of his or her background should have access to good quality education.
The ECF has over the years championed causes that have benefitted children and youth in unfortunate circumstances. Working together with the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA), the ECF has helped to provide resources for KidSTART playgroup sites for low-income families and reached out to 400 children. Other initiatives include setting up a play library and programmes to enhance literacy and creative language development in young children. The ECF has also disbursed bursaries to families to further their children’s education. Recently the ECF donated to the KKH Health Fund to improve the care of less privileged children with diabetes to improve the quality of their lives in school and at home.
The ECF ‘box of joy’ initiative that has completed 4 successful years has distributed more than 8000 gift boxes to children in Singapore. Through the baby bonus account, the ECF has benefited 300 children and helped to further their education. Through the mindfulness programme and internship opportunities for at-risk youth, the ECF has collaborated with Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) to reach out to 8 homes and 135 beneficiaries. The ECF received the MSF Cares Award in 2019 for its initiatives.
