CHAiRMAN’S MESSAGE 3

Greetings to all Lions and Befrienders. With the coming festive seasons in December 2019 and January 2020, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year in 2020.

Lions Befrienders (LB) was established in 1995 as a social service agency with a mission to provide friendship and care for our befriendees to age in place with community participation and enjoy meaningful and enriching lives. Over the years, LB has established its strength in Befriending Services and Community Outreach Services.

Times have changed. The befriending programme is now supported by the Ministry of Health and the commitment and involvement from the Ministries are getting more challenging. Singapore’s eldercare landscape is also changing fast. LB’s current programmes, directives and operations need to be reviewed to stay relevant. We need to:

1. Work for stronger government partnership2. Improve on corporate governance and accountability 3. Leverage and tap on effective government funding4. Have in place effective succession planning5. Actualise plans for the senior care sector to be an

integrated community enabling holistic care for all seniors

The current task facing me and the newly elected team which came into office on 1 November 2019 is to establish our organisation to be a pro-active social service agency where capable people with the right attitude and aptitude come forth to serve. More Lions, especially the young Lions, will be encouraged to be actively involved in LB’s activities.

As we grow, we also change for the better. And I am confident to lead the change for a better tomorrow. The seed that was planted in 1995 shall continue to grow healthily and provide the umbrella of care and comfort to its stakeholders.

Let’s serve as One Family and build a strong LB for a better tomorrow for our Befriendees.

PDG Anthony Tay, PPA, PBM

本协会向狮子会与义工友人们致上问候。随着即将来临的节日,我借此机会祝大家圣诞节快乐,在2020年度过一个快乐又繁荣昌盛的一年。

成立于1995年,狮子乐龄之友协会(狮协)作为一家非营利慈善机构,致力于为孤寡年长者提供友伴服务,满足他们的社会和心理需求。我们通过向年长者伸出友谊之手并提供关怀,好让他们能在居住多年的社区原地养老, 过着精彩又有意义的晚年。狮协在多年以来已在友伴服务以及扩展社区服务计划中建立了相当的实力。

时代已改变。如今,狮协的友伴服务是卫生部资助的项目之一,而这份支持来得更具有挑战性。新加坡老年护理的格局也在迅速变化。我们需要审查狮协此时的服务计划,领导方向和运作方式来确保我们能持续有相关性。我们必须:

1. 加强与政府的合作关系2. 提高组织的治理与问责制3. 善用政府的资金4. 制定有效的继任计划5. 落实一个能使乐龄服务融入社区的计划,为所有

年长者提供一个全方面的服务

我和新当选的委员们(11/01/2019上任)面临的当前任务是要建立一个积极正面的组织,让拥有正确态度和有能力的人能够服务年长者。我想鼓励更多的狮子会会员,尤其是年轻的会员,积极参与狮协的活动。

我们会随着成长而越变越好。我有信心带领改革,迈向更好的明天。在1995年种植的种子将继续健康地生长,并为狮协所有的志愿者,捐赠者和赞助者提供一个有关怀与舒适的服务环境。

让我们作为一个家庭,一同建立强大的狮协,为我们的年长者创造更好的明天。

郑钦祥狮兄

FEATURE 5

CONNECTING SENIORS THROUGH IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY

The Immersive Room, a LB IT initiative, was soft-launched on 17 October 2019 at Mei Ling SAC. Using all forms of perceptual and interactive technologies, this technology creates an immersive experience that blurs the line between the physical and stimulated world. Being purposed to enhance the lives of the SAC seniors, the project connects them to their environment holistically through stimulating, engaging or calming set-ups. The advantages of adopting immersive technology include improving the seniors’ physical and mental health, through exposing them to a new technology in a safe environment. It also enables seniors to have tremendous experiences of a new world, which they could not otherwise visit because of their physical impairment and reduced mobility.

Coloured outlines images done by the seniors on paper or iPad are projected on the walls as animations, with environmental sounds and visuals that delivers a realistic touch, thus putting seniors at ease. Once detected, the floor sensors would trigger a signal to display special effects in the animation. Using immersive and interactive

Leveraging on technology to conduct the popular bingo game is an elevation from the traditional paper and pen method, which not only provides the novelty of a new experience, but also conserves time and resources. The music and bingo animation are controlled via the tablet-based integration system.

environments based on sights, sounds, visuals and touch, these sensory interventions enable the seniors to proactively self-regulate their emotions and impulses which in turn prevent seclusion.

Physical Well-being Understanding that low levels of physical activity in seniors could result in functional decline, the creation of an exercise buddy serves to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. The virtual garden landscapes with birds, plants and trees to simulate being in the outdoors turn exercise into an immersive, exciting experience for the seniors rather than a chore.

Psychological Well-being The Heritage Walk is designed for seniors to take a trip down memory lane as they revisit their favourite old haunts - Little India, Chinatown and Kampong Glam. It evokes discussion of positive nostalgic experiences, which increases motivation and focus, and fosters self-worth.

The different types of exercises include Xianggong, Lala and Aerobics, with varying speeds catered to the abilities of the seniors.

Social Well-beingLB utilises fully interactive templates to bring Spring, Autumn and Winter to the seniors. The templates are a seamless projection across the room, with added elements such as sounds, lightings and other effects to make the experience truly immersive. With this, the seniors are taken on journeys they never thought possible.

MAGIC CARES VAN 魔法关爱车

Since June 2019, our Toa Payoh befriendees have benefitted from the weekly music-making sessions under the Magic Cares Van Community Programme. A partnership between SBS Transit and I’m Soul Inc, this programme uses movement-led technology to help seniors make music easily. On 10 October 2019, our befriendees performed what they learnt at the official launch at Toa Payoh Bus Interchange.

自今年6月以来,狮协大巴窑的年长者因参与了魔法关爱车活动的每周音乐制作讲座而受益了许多。这是由新捷运和社会企业智音(I’m Soul Inc)联合发动的一项活动车社区爱心活动。通过非一般的音乐科技,年长者能把身体动作转化成音乐。在2019年10月10日,狮协的年长者在巴窑巴士转换站的正式发布会上呈现了他们几个礼拜下来所学到的音乐制作。 The programme was officially launched by Minister for Transport,

On 9 October 2019, the Ang Mo Kio SAC seniors were invited to perform on the drums at the Community Chest Awards Ceremony at the Istana. It was an honour for the Joyful Percussion Drum Band to be given this opportunity to contribute to the community by raising funds for other vulnerable seniors through their musical performances.

LB’s senior, Mr. Lee Cho Poon was conferred the Singapore Patient Caregiver Award on 25 October 2019. Organised by Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the event is dedicated to honour caregivers for their strength, resilience and unwavering dedication in caring for their loved ones amid challenges.

狮协IT计划的沉浸式房间于2019年10月17日在美玲乐龄活动中心启动。这项技术使用各种形式的感知 (输入)和交互(输出)创造沉浸式体验,从而模糊了物理和虚拟世界之间的界线。该项目旨在改善居住在一房或两房组屋中的年长者的生活,通过刺激,参与或安抚环境,从整体上将年长者和他们的环境互动。使用沉浸式技术的好处包括让年长者在一个安全的环境接触新技术,改善他们的身心健康。这对于行动不方便且无法参加户外活动的年长者特别有利。

利用科技来运行的流行的宾果游戏是对传统纸笔方法的提升,它不仅为年长者提供了升级体验,而且从长远来看可以节省时间和资源。音乐和宾果动画通过基于平板电脑的集成系统进行控制。

年长者也能将纸上或平板电脑上的彩色轮廓图像作为动画投影到墙上,并通过环绕声音和视觉效果,营造逼真的感觉,从而帮助他们放松身心。一旦检测到房间中的地板传感器,系统就会触发信号以显示动画中

的某些特殊效果。通过视觉,声音,视觉和触觉的沉浸式和互动环境,这些感官刺激使年长者能够主动自我调节自己的情绪和冲动,从而防止了隔离和束缚,不仅提高了他们的创造力,也使他们的头脑敏锐,活跃。

认识到年长者的体育锻炼水平低可能会导致身体功能下降,因此,创建运动伙伴有助于促进积极健康的生活方式。通过简化预设的锻炼程序,供年长者在日常锻炼过程中遵循。不同类型的运动包括向功,拉拉和健美操,其速度应年长者的能力而定。

专为年长者设计的古迹之旅,让他们重温他们最喜欢的老地方,如小印度,唐人街和甘榜格南。由于大多数年长者从来没有机会旅行,因此狮协利用完全交互式的模板,将春季,秋季和冬季这三个季节带给了年长者。模板是整个房间的无缝投影,并添加了声音,灯光和其他效果等元素,使体验真正身临其境。
