Hush Podcast

With age comes experience. Elders have lived through various phases of life, encountered diverse situations, and navigated through numerous challenges. Their experiences provide a rich source of stories that often carry valuable lessons, and we know this because as of late, our dear Germi has been out interviewing the elderly on life, love and relationships and they just have the cutest answers to everything! 

In this episode, the Hush girls will explore heartwarming encounters as they delve into the perspectives of the elderly on life, love, and relationships. Joining them are two young volunteers who are in the thick of it all, sharing their vibrant stories and insights gained from working closely with the elderly.

If you are passionate, committed, a good listener and communicator, and love talking to the elderly, consider volunteering as Silver Generation Ambassador (SGA) to make a difference in seniors’ lives! Find out more at aic.sg/sga

The relationship we have with our siblings is one of the most important and influential in a person’s life. Sibling relationships outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, and resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship.
