SMU student Daryl Wong and his sister Vivienne opened The Last Scoop, an ice cream and waffle shop in Eunos, in January with a mission to help young ex-offenders kick-start their careers. The ice cream lover churned out homemade versions during the circuit breaker and realised there was business potential in it. Thanks to a VentureForGood grant from the Singapore Centre for Social Enterprise (raiSE), he was able to turn his idea into reality. Daryl cut his teeth in the food and beverage industry during the pandemic, while pursuing his studies at the same time. He and his father, Pastor Don Wong, started Ministry of Sozo in September 2020 as a social enterprise that gives career opportunities to ex-offenders at large. Daryl’s passion for helping the ostracised stems from his childhood experiences at The New Charis Mission, a faith-based halfway house that his parents run.
