What SayangNari Means

The Heart of SayangNari: Logo, Values, Community, and Giving Back

The SayangNari logo embodies love, faith, gratitude, and the spirit of connection. “Sayang” means love in Malay, and “Nari” is my father’s nickname. He lived a life filled with gratitude, hard work, integrity, and resilience, inspiring me to believe that anything is possible if you have faith. Our logo, designed by Erin Laurvick, pays a prayerful tribute to his bold and compassionate spirit.

The logo reflects Nari’s wisdom and optimism in my life. The praying hands behind the central design symbolize our mission to foster hope, relationships, kindness, and gratitude. The intertwined letters “S” and “N” represent strength and nurturing, while the patterned motifs celebrate the cultural richness of immigrants and a legacy of gratitude and resilience.

We believe that as long as hope endures, we can overcome life’s challenges. Each effort, whether successful or not, is a step forward that strengthens our character, integrity, and compassion. As Nari would say, “No dreams, no spark; no spark, no life. We also believe that gratitude helps us recognize the resources that come our way to help us navigate life’s difficulties.
