Tan Chin Tuan Foundation National Day Event

I felt that the TCTF National Day event was a really memorable event because the theme was “a walk down memory lane”, I felt that it was meaningful because there were a lot of old folks there and I’m sure they had tons of happy memories of the past. And through the usage of photographs and old games, I’m sure it did trigger their fond memories of the past. During the event itself, I saw many

It was on a Saturday afternoon, that I for the first time get to work with Tan Chin Tuan Foundation by volunteering myself in the National Day Celebration event, at Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road).

I was ushered into the tent where the kids arts village opening was held. The tent was filled with adults and children alike and I found myself standing in a corner, waiting expectantly for the show to begin. A young girl took the mike, introducing the first performance, two young musicians, brothers in fact. There was applause as they introduced themselves, and they sang ‘Hotel California’. The
