Roughly a week and more ago, we had the honour of being invited to be part of Goodlife!’s 16th Anniversary Celebration hosted by Montfort Care.

So what did we do there, you may ask?

Watch this heartwarming video:

Seeing both aunties happily enjoying our Hua Hee Match card game was the highlight of Day 1 at Blk 72 Marine Drive.

One lady even came up to Kelvin and told him that among the different games available on the game booths during that day, Hua Hee Match was the toughest — simply because it requires players to really put their memory and focus to test.

(Well, this naturally put a smile on our faces because we believe then that Hua Hee Match has met its purpose!)

Below are more pictures for your view pleasure:

All these purposeful activities filled with fun and laughter was just a start because on Day 2, at Blk 15A Marine Terrace (this time with a bigger crowd), we were pleasantly surprised by Uncle Ng.

Recognising us from afar, he came by the booth, said hello and showed us a copy of a Lianhe Zhaobao feature of Hua Hee that he’s been keeping with him all this while.

The value he saw in our cause really touched us and it is people like him who fuels our passion to come up with better initiatives and games in the fight against Dementia.

As Singapore’s economy continue to blossom, we must also not neglect the fact that our aging population is rising rapidly — the number of citizens aged 65 and above is expected to increase to 900,000 by 2030; and even though we are grateful that our government has responded by helping senior citizens age well and live more fulfilling lives through its own initiatives, we younger citizens must play our part too.

To that, we thank Monfort Care for doing so and are grateful for their hospitality during these 2 days where we were given the opportunity to be part of a bigger cause with far-reaching impact on generations to come.
