Letters From Grandma & Grandpa is a collection of letters from grandparents to their grandchildren. Singapore grandparents share their stories from the past, their hopes for the future, their love from their hearts, and their values for the soul.
These letters capture Singaporeans’ thoughts and feelings on important values, such as family and heritage, respect for the elders, generosity, love, courage and responsibility. This is a legacy for all future generations of Singaporeans and will become part of Singapore’s rich culture and heritage.
Letters From Grandma & Grandpa will create opportunities for both youth and seniors to strengthen ties, enhance understanding and appreciate each other.
