+## Corporate Social Responsibility
+
+> Describe FabLabSG as social responsible citizen with regard to diversity, inclusiveness and sustainability.
+> 
+> As part of that our initial focus is on Enable, so we can describe FabLabSGxE as a sub-chapter rather than the center of the message. This is consistent with FabLabSG mission being to empower makers to making things, not actually being an organisation focused on Enable.

+### FabLabSG x Enable (FLSGxE)

+> "There's only the Disabled and the Temporarily-Abled."
+
+> What is FabLabSG x Enable
+
+* Redirecting makers skillset towards Enabling solutions (via Challenges)
+* Instiling Inclusivity in the makers mindset
+* Facilitating CSR of corporate entities for the disabled community
+
+> Why it was formed
+
+* Existing solutions are either too expensive, or too complicated.
+* Currently, there's no for custom solution provider for the disabled community.
+* Existing 'DIY' solutions by individuals or community existed because there's a need to overcome challenges faced by disabled individuals. They usually lack the right technical expertise.
+* While these solutions do improve the situation, its usually just a patch. Having the right expertise would improve existing solution or create new ones.
+
+> Target communities and beneficieries. Who have we communicated with.
+
+* Special Education institution
+
+#### FabLabSG Challenge
+
+> What are Challenges
+
+* A cycle of processes to Address, Design and Make(Produce) a solution for issues brought up by the disabled communities.
+  *These issues includes various challenges faced by but not limited to the Special Education teachers & students, disabled individuals and their families, and the aging communites.  
+  
+  > What resources are needed to 'overcome' Challenges
+
+* Expertise in the makers community. Engineers, programmers for more complex challenges.
+
+* A facilitator to run and manage the Challenge for that cycle.
+
+* Equipments and materials for the solutions.
