For the past 3 years, our annual Caregiver Experiential Camp (CEC) has been the hallmark of our project. It is a day camp inviting pre-university students to explore the realities of being a caregiver, and to learn from their peers who have caregiving experience. Participants got to experience activities that put them in the shoes of caregivers, and had hands-on experience at St Luke’s ElderCare centers across Singapore.
Other past initiatives include:
In the upcoming academic year, Project Empower plans to fully revamp our initiatives, combining our efforts into a single Roadshow Exhibition that aims to educate the general public and raise awareness on the realities of caregiving. Our vision is to help our community better understand that caregiving isn’t an experience that only few will go through, but something that can be shared by everyone.
