Your Life, Your ChoiceThe Story of
Handmade String Bags
Thin jute twines are hand made into string bags by senior citizens with the assistance from youth volunteers.
This is how love is shared and passed down through generations.
The cycle of love reminds us about our mission to care for our loved one and our environment.
The essence of our campaign connects senior citizens with students and J.O.E volunteers to produce handmade string bags.
Our purpose is to share with the public about the importance of environmental protection and call for the reduction of single-use plastic items, especially plastic bags.
The campaign takes place between March and July 2019.
Our senior centre partners are:
AWWA Senior Activity Centre, Lion's Home for the Elder
St. John's Home for Elderly Persons, Tsao Foundation ComSA
Bags will be distributed free-of-charge to participants who have answered our Q&A games correctly, during the plastic reduction exhibition and at selected supermarkets between 20 July and 21 July 2019.
