Great-grandmother-of-two Lucie Or, 79, can sit for hours at a time hunched over her sewing machine, her only company the punctuated whir of the needle bar.
 
In preparation for Children’s Day, she and five other elderly volunteers have been busy sewing some 800 pencil cases and 500 water bottle holders from pre-loved denim jeans. 
 
The project, dubbed Jeans to Dreams, aims to raise funds for the Presbyterian Preschool Education Fund, which supports preschool children from needy families. Read the full story here. Support the elderly and the children here.
