Village Connect Turns 10

Through a decade of trial and error, Village Connect now celebrates its early maturity to adulthood with its favorite readers and sponsors wiser and wittier than when we started this journey.

We are proud to say that our selection of stories has diversified and are now more attuned to the needs of the times and we are able to provide our readers with a better perspective of issues here and abroad.

Together we experienced the good pre-COVID-19 times — when travel and life were easier and more convenient for us all and we also went through the harrowing whole year of the pandemic restricted in our mobility and social activities.

Throughout 2020, we were able to feed our readers timely and substantial information, thanks to our going digital way before the pandemic started and whatever feel-good experience you felt in the glossy hard- copy of Village Connect is still the same experience that you get from our online site.
