Projek Kasih
Ain Society’s new centre, named Serenity Social Service Centre, has been receiving overwhelming response from the public since it was opened on 1st April 2013. In the first month of operation, the number of clients who are suffering from cancer and chronic illnesses, has increased by 10% to 75 clients.
The Serenity SSC at Blk 2 Eunos Crescent is the first centre of its kind managed by a Malay/Muslim organization dedicated for clients suffering from cancer and chronic illnesses. The centre provides counseling services consisting of individual counseling, support group for clients and support group for caregivers. Clients also receive other types of support such as financial assistance and food ration assistance.
The centre also opens its doors to the elderly, especially those from low-income families living in the Eunos Crescent area. Since its operation on 1st April 2013, the centre has attracted about 200 old folks who came for assistance and to participate in activities organized at the centre.
About $60,000 per month is needed by Ain Society to manage the centre. To financially support the activities and services provided at the centre, a charity concert with Mediacorp Suria will be aired on 31st April 2013.

Artsploration
Our artsploration programme had commenced on 31st March 2012 for our Clubkids Children as well as their siblings. The 2-year art therapy programme was funded by our most generous funder, Nippon Paint Singapore. Its aim was to tap on the childrens’ most artistic abilities, to encourage self-expressions and to relieve these children of their emotional issues particularly for the children diagnosed with cancer. All of them seem pleased with the initial lesson condiucted by our art teacher and therapist, and through chit-chats with the kids, we could hear that they are pretty excited to attend upcoming lessons!
