Project Detail

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” Reading helps improve capabilities such as memory, cognition, and attention span, especially in our seniors.

Project Phoenix aims to enlighten and enrich the lives of the elderly in old-age homes. We’re in need of a sponsor who will be able to donate a vehicle that can be equipped with shelves and enough space to transform it into a mobile library! We hope that other donors will join this initiative and sponsor old and new books that we can use to fill the shelves with, and allow the elderly people to enjoy different reading material every once in a while when the library comes around.

Challenge

We constantly need old and new material (books) for the elderly that we can use in our mobile library.

 

Idea

Spending time with the elderly and reading a book to them is very worthy and rewarding. We wish to enrich the lives of our elders by volunteering some of our time to them.
