Welcoming the Year of the Pig...

Clients from the Elderly Activity Group had an early celebration for the Year of the Pig on 12 February. Thanks to the generous donations by a visually handicapped client, they were presented each with a hongbao by our Executive Director, Ms Penny Seet. Accompanied by festive songs, they had a good time enjoying the delicacies sponsored by a staff member and a regular volunteer.

Clients from the sheltered workshop on the other hand, had their own way of celebrating the New Year. They were busy working out their jaw muscles and licking fingers, feasting on  food from KFC. We saw Ms Penny Seet busy in action distributing hongbaos to them.

We want to thank all our donors for making these festive celebrations possible.
