Patchwork of Reminiscences
"Patchwork of Reminiscences" is a heartwarming compilation of true and inspirational stories from the lives of 17 Singaporean senior citizens. His Excellency S R Nathan has shown his support by penning the foreword of the book.  The 17 elders featured in “Patchwork of Reminiscences” are the very epitome of courageous men and women who braved the trials and tribulations of life and have emerged strong. Witness Bertha Hang's determination to live a purposeful life despite the loss of her limbs. Delve into the life of MCYS Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer Award recipient (2009) - Ann Wee's 40 years at the Juvenile Court. Go behind the scenes of the Peranakan theatre with G.T. Lye. Accompany Othman and Halimah in a walk through time as they relive their kampong love story. And many more elders who had a strong passion for their careers, who had suffered and overcame hardship from World War II... Patchworks is delighted to present you this meaningful project for a worthy cause. Each "Patchwork of Reminiscences" book sells at SGD$15. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to Asian Women's Welfare Association (AWWA) and Kheng Chiu Loke Tin Kee Home.
