About "The Bridge"

"The Bridges", launched by two high school students in 2022, is a public welfare project focusing on Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. It is committed to building connections between dementia-affected families, the public, and social resources. To build a bridge between the elderly and society, we created a senior choir to help the elderly gain happiness, a sense of value, and a sense of belonging. To build a bridge between families with dementia and social support, we integrated abundant social resources on this website for easy access. To build bridges between the public and this social issue, we read a large amount of literature and conducted interviews, presenting these issues in comprehensive ways.

The equal way of treatment is also reflected in how we encourage them to do challenging things. For example, we once met an elderly participant who was not allowed to fetch bowls or spoons at his own home because his family members were afraid that he might break them. But here, I told him, "Go ahead and fetch them, it's okay. Even if they break, it doesn't matter." We encouraged him and gave him confidence. We want to make him  feel that he is still valuable.​

Senior Chior

We hope to use our chorus experience to let the elderly with cognitive disorders feel the charm of music. We initiated the Senior Choir at Yangjing Memory Home, hoping to build a bridge between the elderly and society to gain happiness, a sense of value, and a sense of belonging.
