About this episode
This episode features a conversation with Cherry Thian about the importance of purpose and meaningful engagement in aging and caregiving.
Conversations around aging often focus on care, but rarely on purpose. In this conversation on Melting Pot, host Payal explores these ideas with Cherry Thian, founder of Little Changemakers, a social enterprise creating experiences that foster empathy, resilience, and connection. Cherry reflects on her work with seniors, caregivers, children, and individuals with special needs, sharing why meaningful engagement matters more than simply staying busy. The discussion touches on redefining contribution in later life, creating sustainable programs, and recognising the often-invisible role of caregivers. Through real stories and thoughtful insights, this episode highlights the importance of dignity, community, and human-centred design in building more inclusive and compassionate societies.
