Taking heart

Project Cheer employs multiplier effect

OVER 250 beneficiaries from five charities will be taking part in Project Cheer this year. First, the Tan Chin Tuan Foundation will mobilise 80 students from ACJC to run its first Project Cheer with a children's charity. Later the same day, the students, together with the children from the children's charities, will bring Project Cheer to charities serving the aged. The purpose is for the teens to become mentors and demonstrate to the younger children that they too can make a difference in other people's lives.

A range of activities including making muah chee, playing traditional games, and learning dialects such as Hokkien and Cantonese have been arranged for the beneficiaries.
