2. Caring for the Aged Day was held at Kreta Ayer Community Centre. It brought smiles to 100 elderly with an afternoon of music and dance entertainment, delicious food and goodie packs.

3. Bright Homes Programme:
   A programme to meet the needs of lower income seniors living in 1-2 room rented flats in Singapore. We will be working with the grassroots to befriend and organise activities for them. This is a project supported by Central Singapore CDC. We hope to brighten up the lives of the elderly and meet their physical and emotional needs, many of whom are left alone in their rented flats until volunteers visit them.
