In response to "How Can We Improve?"
thinking of how you guys can monetise. but very interesting and meaningful idea. need to break the stigma of this wellness programme which is similar to counselling
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
i think this initiative would be really sweet!! depending on the \'dream\', some elderly might fulfil their wishes more easily than others (e.g. seeing snow, learning how to skateboard VS wanting to become a singer) the scale of the dream matters a lot i feel? because the scale dictates the expectations that the person has for themselves and the dream that they had. hmm does that make sense. at that age, i suspect they would have gone through many many years of/reasons for putting off their dreams and wishes. it will be important to manage expectations and possibly reframe their dreams into an actionable plan - something that will convince them that, despite all the reasons why they haven\'t done it, it\'s not too late!
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Make more awareness to elderlies and youngsters that their dream matters to regardless of their age. Hopefully have the young people support the elderlies just like how our elderly supported us.

hey guys , just wondering the sustainability of this programme. Because the solution is very thoughtful and have the potential to help many people. So you guys could partner with many non-profit organisations

You would have to find a way to get this message across to seniors, perhaps by setting booths at supermarkets and Hawker centres.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
Do a survey and ask elderly what they feel like they want to achieve.
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
I believe the first step is the most important. They need to know that they are seeing results/improvements to motivate them to continue. They need to have a community of people who are doing the same, who can help them make sense of why and what they are doing in their lives. I think this is a great project! I can imagine myself needing the support when I grow older!
In response to "How Can We Improve?"
When you are young, you don\'t have money, but you have time and energy When you are a working adult, you don\'t have time, but you have money and energy. When you are old, you don\'t have energy, but you have time and money. Most seniors would desire to have that energy back in order to be active again. To get that energy back, they have to be in good health, try to connect their personal goals to activities that can increase their energy levels ie. hiking, swimming, cooking (healthy food) etc.
