A Joyful Walk to End the Year

On the bright and breezy morning of December 31st, 65 seniors and volunteers from NRCS gathered at Singapore Sports Hub in Kallang for a meaningful morning walk to celebrate the final day of the year. Supported by Sheng Hong Active Aging Centre (AAC), the event brought together participants across generations for an unforgettable time of connection and camaraderie.

To ensure everyone could enjoy the walk at their own pace, the group was split into two routes. Seniors who preferred a shorter stroll explored the perimeter of the Sports Hub, while the more active participants took on a scenic journey to Tanjong Rhu and back. With clear skies and cool weather, the morning was perfect for both fitness and friendship.

The walk wasn’t just about exercise; it became a bridge between generations. Young volunteers walked alongside the seniors, engaging in heartfelt conversations and gaining valuable insights from their life experiences. The exchange of stories and perspectives enriched the morning, turning a simple outing into an opportunity for growth and connection.

Afterward, everyone returned to NRCS for a delicious lunch that was filled with chatter, laughter, and reflections on the past year. The lively atmosphere spoke volumes of the joy and fellowship that the event had cultivated.

We are deeply grateful for the favorable weather and the opportunity to end the year on such a positive and uplifting note. This morning walk was more than just an outing; it was a celebration of community, vitality, and hope for the new year ahead.
