Young SMOU (YSMOU) strengthened its commitment to corporate social responsibility at the Jalan Besar Active Ageing Centre (JB AAC) with a heartwarming celebration of both the Mid-Autumn Festival and the International Day of Older Persons, bringing joy and togetherness to the seniors.

On 19 September 2024, YSMOU organised a lantern-making workshop, followed by care packs distribution. Around 40 seniors participated in a lantern-making workshop, where they learned to assemble lantern frames and paint them. The activity ignited their creativity as they sketched and painted on paper. With the volunteers helping at the various stages of lantern-making, the seniors were able to complete their personalised lantern. It was a fulfilling and enriching experience for the seniors.
