About 10 to 20 children regularly take part in programmes such as farming, lion dance and arts and craft workshops.
Madam Yin also entrusts her house keys to one of her neighbours – Madam Sandy Goh, 56, who leads many initiatives in the estate. These activities have over time fostered high trust among neighbours, said Madam Goh, adding that parents or grandparents offer help to look after other children.
