Some 30 volunteers have come together to create art pieces which
will be sold to the public and corporations to raise funds.
They plan to raise some $15,000 for the 8 beneficiaries under
SMRT's Silver Tribute Fund.
The beneficiaries include the Geylang East Home for the Aged,
Singapore Leprosy Relief Association and the Tan Tock Seng
Hospital.
The volunteers, made up of senior citizens and caregivers,
displayed their creative flair with some help from local
artists.
Art therapists were also present to facilitate discussions to raise
self-awareness, learning and group dynamics.
SMRT says the 33 paintings will be available for public viewing and
sponsor in April, via its website, as well as exhibition at Raffles
Place MRT station.
