Eurasian Association Singapore
The Eurasian Association (EA) Singapore was formed in 1919 as a voice for the community. In addition to being one of the four Self-Help Groups since 1994, assisting the needy through education bursaries and family support services, the EA runs the Eurasian Heritage Gallery, set up in 2003, to preserve and share the history and culture of the small but vibrant Eurasian community, one of the earliest settlers in Singapore.
