Paper Heart Folding & Outdoor Activity

Today is quite a busy day for both the volunteers and elderly.
As most of you are aware of the Singtel Touching Lives Fund 2006, the Fold-a-heart was introduced to the elderly today with Shaorong's "lobang". Elderly were to fold an origami heart using a special red advertisement in the Today newspaper and SingTel will donate a dollar for every folded heart received. In this way, we can get the elderly to help to raise funds in a way too.
Now in its fifth year, the SingTel Touching Lives Fund will support five children’s charities under the auspices of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). They are:
· APSN Tanglin School
· Autism Resource Centre – WeCan
· Fei Yue Community Services – eGen
· Singapore Children’s Society – Tinkle Friend
· Students Care Service

Let's take a look at the elderly and volunteers working hard at the Fold-A Heart Session.
Wow... our elderly & volunteers had folded this box of hearts. Hope this box of heart will bring them not only the funds, also the "heart" and "well wishes" from elderly & volunteers.
Hair Cut
While the elderly and some volunteers are busy folding papers for a good cause, Mr and Mrs Chua are also busy cutting hair for the elderly. They are getting more professional nowadays after years of practise.
Outdoor Activity
After dinner, we brought some elderly for a walk. We went around the IMH, Ren Ci Hospital, Econ Nursing Home and etc. Stopped by at an area with no access to vehicles for a short exercise and song singing.
Yoz... let's stop for a while for a break to let those at the back to catch up with us.
Yubing came with simple exercises to let them do some stretching exercises with stress ball & therabands.
