Ms Monica Choo

Dear Friends of ECS,

As I reflect on the ECS Charity Walk, my heart is filled with gratitude and joy. Seeing seniors, youths, families, volunteers, and friends walking together, sharing laughter and stories, was a beautiful reminder of the power of community and connection.

This walk is more than just a journey through the streets of St. George’s — it was a journey through its heritage, its stories, and its heart. At every heritage point, our narrators and storytellers brought the past to life, and the interactions between generations made it even more meaningful.

I am deeply thankful to our volunteers, whose dedication ensured that every detail of the walk went smoothly, and to everyone who participated, cheered, or simply walked alongside us. Your energy, smiles, and engagement truly made the morning special.

Moments like these remind us why ECS exists — to build intergenerational connections, celebrate our heritage, and nurture a caring, inclusive community. Thank you for being part of this journey, and for walking with us in creating memories that will last a lifetime.

EVENT RECAP

What a meaningful morning it was at our ECS Charity Walk!

Under beautiful skies and cheerful spirits, our community came together to walk, connect, and rediscover the heritage of St. George’s through stories that bridge generations.

As the residents gathered at the starting point, smiles lit up every face. It was a morning filled with warmth, purpose, and a shared sense of community.

Participants forming up excitedly in their respectively groups. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation and joy as seniors, youths, and families get ready to embark on the meaningful journey ahead.

Our dynamic emcees kicked off the morning with vibrancy and energy, setting the perfect tone with their lively spirit and infectious enthusiasm.

We were honoured to welcome our Guest of Honour, Dr Wan Rizal, who graced us with encouraging words on building intergenerational connections and embracing the heritage within the community.

Following that, participants joined in a fun and energising warm-up session led by our super-friends team.

Laughter and smiles filled the air as seniors, youths, and families stretched and moved together in rhythm. It was a beautiful intergenerational moment when generations connect in shared purpose and spirit, ready for the meaningful walk ahead.

Then came the moment everyone is waiting for: The flagging off - marking the official start of the ECS Charity Walk 2025.

Our Guest of Honour, Dr Wan Rizal, together with VIP Reverend Glen Lim, waved the flags, signaling the beginning of the walk.

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, as participants set off along the route .

Participants made their way to the heritage points along the route, where our well-versed narrators shared stories about the rich history of St. George’s.

From Sungei Whampoe to the old bungalows, each stop offered a glimpse into the past and the lives of the people who shaped the community - bringing the neighbourhood’s heritage vividly to life.

The walk was filled with laughter, smiles, and lively conversations, as seniors, youths, and families connected across generations, creating shared moments of joy and meaningful connection.

As the walk concluded, participants crossed the finish line with smiles of accomplishment, receiving a pat on the back and a goodie bag in recognition of their effort.

The ECS Charity Walk 2025 was a wonderful celebration of community, heritage, and intergenerational connections a true embodiment of our theme, “Building Bridges: Connecting Individual across Generations”.

A heartfelt thank you to all participants, volunteers, narrators, and supporters who made the day possible. Together, we walked for a cause, for our heritage, and for the bonds that unite us.
