PROJECT A.C.E

Project Aspiring our Community of Elderly (ACE) s a regular volunteering project in partnership with Tembusu Senior Activity Centre located at Eunos. We aim to connect NUS with our seniors, by engaging them on a skills-based spectrum through hands-on activities and light exercise. amidst the current Covid 19 pandemic, our sessions are held in a hybrid format, both in person and on Zoom. We planned fun interactive sessions with light exercises and mini-games as well as skills-based activities such as guiding the seniors through a science-kit.   

WHAT WE DO

During the sessions, our volunteers come together to conduct fun and meaningful activities for the seniors which includes bingo or zumba and light exercises. Our main goal is to always have a fun and good session with our seniors!

HEAR FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS

Joining Project ACE is my first time joining an institution-based regular volunteering programme. At first, I had my own fair share of worries, but everyone in Project ACE is really friendly and has guided me on several occasions, especially on my first volunteering session. The seniors are very energetic and sometimes very chatty too! Every session is always so lively and the whole room will be filled with enthusiastic chatter. Some seniors will even approach us after the sessions to ask us when the next sessions will be and it makes me really happy knowing that they have enjoyed these sessions that we have planned for them.

I enjoy carrying out different activities such as word search and memory games with the seniors during each session. All the activities were very engaging and before each session ends, the seniors will always thank me for spending time with them through playing of games and volunteer-senior interactions. It was heartwarming to know that I have conducted a meaningful session with the seniors and constantly made them look forward to the next session.

Project ACE made me realise the importance of senior befriending despite the challenging circumstances as it reminds seniors that we are still there to care for them 😄! One memorable moment I experienced in Project ACE was when I witnessed a senior enthusiastically assisting a fellow senior in completing an artwork. The strong camaraderie between the seniors reinforced the importance of social connections which through volunteering would allow us to further strengthen! 

 I’m also thankful that CSC also organises volunteer befriender workshops to upskill ourselves and provide us with motivation to continue volunteering. Volunteering is ultimately a beautiful journey that is guaranteed to bring surprises, rewards and memories that last a lifetime! 🙂 Thanks Project ACE!!

Project A.C.E was an opportunity to interact and befriend the elderly via an online platform. Before joining I wondered if technology would hinder our interactions and time together. There were indeed some hiccups here and there. Nonetheless, it really showed me the resilience of the elderly in learning the utility of zoom so that they can be engaged with the sessions!

-  Ler En, Programmes Head
I enjoy learning about the experiences of the seniors at TSAC because the Singapore they grew up in was very different. They're very youthful and come to TSAC regularly to enjoy the activities and look forward to the programmes A.C.E provides. Also, the food at Eunos is super good!!! Ask them for some food recommendations, you won't regret trying!
