“Doing good deeds and being kind to the elderly does not equate to a large-scale event. We can all be nicer to our elders by helping them out with their daily tasks or even a small sincere smile.”

Aim:
To tend to the welfare of the elderly in their community
Why:
By organising an event, they hope to improve their communication skills and in turn foster a better relationship with their own grandparents.
Where:
Community spaces
What:
Guides and Scouts of Hougang Secondary School collaboratively organised bonding sessions with the elderly. Participants took part in various activities, including singing and games.
How:
The team went door-to-door, placed posters in the vicinity and gave out flyers to invite the elderly to join them on Tuesdays for an evening of fun-filled activities.
