The Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC) piloted the Granny Quilt Project in August last year at CDAC@Redhill - a CDAC centre - to help seniors stay active and lead an exciting and fulfilling life through learning activities and volunteerism.

This project involved seniors gathering at the centre to learn the art of sewing a quilt.

Nineteen senior volunteers committed themselves to sewing quilts two times a week, for three hours each time. The seniors cut, ironed and sewed 100 small patches of specially selected cloth together to make each quilt, with the 100 patches representing a grandmother's 100 wishes for a baby.

During the project's first distribution yesterday, at an event titled Embracing Parenthood @ Radin Mas 2018, 76 quilts were given to babies living in the Radin Mas constituency.
