Help Us Help The Elderly

Dear Chaster,

We understand that you have been interacting with our fellow Chasters for a long time now to discuss the love and admiration we have for Charice; however, we also understand that most of these interactions occur online. In our desire to bond more and fully share a Chaster’s love and warmth, some of us would reach out and decide to finally meet up with fellow Chasters in real life. Those meet-ups / gatherings usually happen before, during and after Charice’s gigs. And if schedules permit, Chasters organize a meet-up where we can party and have fun.

Recently, a lot of Chasters have been saying that our gatherings should not be just about partying and having fun. Instead, we can channel our energies and enthusiasm to more productive and community-conscious endeavors. And so it was suggested that we undertake a charity project. We call it the “Chasters’ Voice of Love” – because Charice’s deep and powerful voice binds us as Chasters and moves us to share our love.

On Sunday, 31 July 2011, we will be visiting the Golden Acres Home for the Aged to spend time with their elderly residents and hand over our donations in the hopes that we will be able to bring a smile to the faces of our lonely and abandoned elderly. In one of our communications with the Golden Acres staff, it was mentioned that they currently have more than a hundred residents. We hope to be able to spend time with all of them and would like to invite you to join us on that day.

How You Can Help:

We will collate your thoughts, learnings, recommendations and/or reactions to the experience you’ll have with the elderly in order to submit a comprehensive report / analysis to the Golden Acres, the organizers and to any Chaster who wish to be updated. Your insights will be a great help in gauging the success of our project and in pushing us to do more.
