Rediscovering Joy at Bird Paradise – Celebrating Youthfulness with Our Seniors

DSC04532

On 3 October 2025, HOPE worldwide Singapore, together with Motorola Solutions, brought 60 seniors from our Live Strong Active-Ageing Programme on a fun-filled and heartwarming trip to Bird Paradise.

What made this day extra special — besides the colourful flocks and joyful laughter — was that it fell on Children’s Day. In many ways, this was a celebration of the childlikeness, youthfulness, and joy that continues to shine brightly in our seniors’ lives.

A total of 35 volunteers from Motorola Solutions joined hands with our team to make this outing truly memorable. The visit also marked a meaningful milestone — Motorola Solutions’ 50th Anniversary in Singapore, celebrated through giving back to the community.

Throughout the day, the seniors and volunteers bonded over a “Most Creative Group Photo” contest, forming six vibrant teams: Blue, Light Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, and Black. Creativity was everywhere — from playful poses to spontaneous laughter — but in the end, it was the Orange Team that took home the prize for their spirited teamwork and cheerful energy!

Each senior from the winning group received a special souvenir from Motorola Solutions, while everyone celebrated with a delightful bento lunch thoughtfully prepared by the volunteers, complete with fruits and drinks. Before heading home, the seniors also received a gift pack — a simple yet thoughtful gesture that brought smiles all around.

More than just a fun day out, this outing was a celebration of resilience and vitality. Many seniors, who once struggled with mobility and confidence, now walk with renewed strength — a testament to the impact of the Live Strong Programme, which empowers them to stay physically active, mentally engaged, and socially connected.

🌿 Special thanks to Mandai Wildlife Group for their wonderful arrangements and warm hospitality in making this outing such a smooth and delightful experience for our seniors.

We’re deeply grateful to Motorola Solutions for their partnership, generosity, and spirit of service. Together, we’re helping our seniors live stronger, brighter, and more joyfully every day.
