A trip to the Gardens By the Bay
The elderly are the bedrock of society and life expectancy in Singapore is one of the highest anywhere in the world. Promoting a healthy and culturally stimulating lifestyle in old age is a core objective of our Singapore branch team. As a result, Menarini’s employees partnered with Lions Befrienders Singapore, an organisation serving the over-65 population most at risk of social isolation.
Our colleagues accompanied them on a day trip to the Gardens By the Bay, a popular nature park in the city. The trip gave the visitors the opportunity to admire first-hand the wonders of the Floral Fantasy and Flower Dome, the world’s largest greenhouse, discovering the fascination of many different species of plants. A chance for an intergenerational dialogue that gave the participants the opportunity to make friends with older people and draw inspiration from their life experience.
