SINGAPORE - Having to undergo chemotherapy did not stop retiree Amy Lee, 71, from doing her part for charity.

"Making the masks made me a part of a larger community who showed me care and concern, and my spirits were lifted," Madam Lee told The Straits Times on Saturday . The initiative started with 35 volunteers in Punggol West who wanted to make masks for children during the nationwide mask distribution exercise in February.

Sewing the masks has been a welcome distraction from her body pains from her weekly chemotherapy sessions, she added.
