How can you not be so proud of these twin brothers who just graduated and are not just so passionate about serving people but also contributing to how to protect our planet more fun and cool way? Having BEEBAG as a University assignment to now as like a shopping app that encourages us to bring our affordable Beebag. Not just a simple reusable bag but also rewarding as you enjoy some points or prizes while using the Beebag with their partnered stores or even bringing it everywhere to remind you that you’re making a contribution to protecting our planet. Now, that’s a very innovative and fun way of creating awareness of recycling/reusing and attracting people to participate.

DEEP THINKING:
Now, Joel, Joshua, and I would love for you to step back and reassess where you are fulfilling your Purpose in life. No such thing as too late; it’s all in the mindset and reconditioning our thinking to more possibilities and opportunities to who we can be by stretching ourselves to our full potential. Let Joshua and Joel Lim’s dedication and passion for making a difference in this world as an inspiration; we all have a part in making our world better and society stronger. Lean into your light and let it spark, things will shake you, but if you’re doing it to follow your fulfilling life – you’re on the right track. Don’t Lose Hope. You’ve Got this!
Until next time β€οΈ.
