S3 members, caregivers, SG Enable, K1 & K2 students and loved ones at the UOB Ability Hub
How did you spend your Leap Day this year? For two of our Enabling Village tenants, it was indeed a day to remember, as they gathered for ‘Leap For Love’, a heartfelt event that brought people from different walks of life together. Organised by Stroke Support Station (S3), this special day was for S3 stroke survivors and their loved ones, who include spouses, family members and caregivers, to celebrate the bonds of love and show appreciation for one another. S3 also invited the K1 and K2 children from inclusive preschool Kindle Garden to join in the fun and bring joy to the S3 community.

An Afternoon of Appreciation
The day started with an opening address by Ms Ng Rei Na, Executive Director for Stroke Support Station, who shared how meaningful it was to celebrate love between stroke survivors and their loved ones on Leap Day.
We were then treated to a special performance by Mr Daniel Ng, also known as the Blind Busker. He serenaded the crowd with a few songs about love as everyone clapped along, and encouraged stroke survivors and caregivers to give each other a hug as an act of appreciation.
After Daniel’s joyful performance, attendees got creative with an interactive, hands-on balloon decorating activity under the theme of love.
Throughout the afternoon, attendees were kept busy with delicious food and a variety of other activities such as photo-taking sessions at a Polaroid photo booth and games like tic tac toe and puzzle-solving.
Sharing The Love
We were then joined by our wonderful friends from Kindle Garden. The children showcased a special performance with familiar songs that had everyone clapping along – a truly adorable performance!
One of the highlights of the day was a gift exchange between Kindle Garden children and S3 members. What better way to spread love than with the joy of giving.
As the event came to a close with one more performance from Mr Daniel Ng, everyone was beaming with excitement, admiring their gifts and handmade works of art. It was a reminder of how important it is to show appreciation for our loved ones, and how we can cherish one another through simple gestures of love.
Thank you to everyone who took part in this event! ‘Leap For Love’ is just one of the many activities organised by the Enabling Village community to affirm and enable our surrounding community.
