Patchwork Of Reminiscences
"Patchwork Of Reminiscences" is the working name of a new exciting project proposed by Patchworks. Its purpose is to compile a collection of true, heart-warming and inspirational life experiences from the lives of elderly members of our society, publishing them into an easy-to-read short stories book.
The primary objective of the book is to bring the reader from the modern Singapore that we now live in to the pre-war, war-era and post-war Singapore that our grandparents and parents lived in. The process of compiling the book, "Patchwork Of Reminiscences" will allow student and seniors to interact in a lively way as students help the elders to recount their life journeys. Students can benefit from the experiences the seniors had during those challenging times. Meanwhile, seniors will have a platform to publish their life stories and reach out to a greater audience.
"Patchwork Of Reminiscences" is in line with Patchworks' belief that seniors can contribute to society in more creative manners than one. Written from the perspective of an ordinary citizen with an eventful life story, "Patchwork Of Reminiscences" seeks to capture accounts which would sadly be lost if no formal written record was ever made. Finally, the proceeds of the book sales will be channelled to the participating beneficiaries, providing a sustainable business venture for the seniors - a social entrepreneurship objective that Patchworks actively seeks to propagate.
