There is a place along Jupiter St.,Makati City, where the sun always shines for those who enter its doors.
A membership hub for senior citizens, the Sunshine Place marked its 11th anniversary in October last year.
A project of the Felicidad T. Sy Foundation, the multi-service recreation center offers classes and workshops on arts, crafts, dance, music, painting, writing, and fitness to its members. It also holds events and exhibits every quarter.
One of the events held last year was an AI training course by Asia Pacific College for seniors aged 70-80 which introduced the basics of artificial intelligence and its practical benefits in everyday life — from using smart devices to staying connected and informed.
Another event, Coloring Lives VIII, showcased a diverse collection of works of Sunshine Place artists at the Second Floor of the Podium in Mandaluyong City.
According to the organizers, Coloring Lives VIII was also a platform for giving back. This year, a portion of the proceeds from the exhibit was donated to the Josefheim Foundation in Rizal, which runs a home for the elderly.
