Hi, Jacinta,
The full texts for Q15 is below:
'We received $2000 from the City of Cupertino to support children’s art education program in 2022, and $4000 to
support seniors’ wellbeing in 2023.
We spent all of the grants to serve the community and received tremendous positive feedback from the audience we
served.
In 2022, we organized a children's art contest, held a children's art exhibition and multi‐generation art receptionist at
Cupertino Library and Cupertino Senior Center. More than 100 Cupertino children and residents participated in our
activities.
In 2023, we organized outing to the bay wetlands, hosted health fair booths to provide information and resources of
mental health, seniors talent shows, movie nights, art and hand craft workshops to serve Cupertino seniors. We are also
organizing complimentary culture tour of Hakone Japanese Garden in March where we’ll introduce Japanese culture,
guide touring the garden, provide kimono photography opportunities, and offer Japanese souvenirs. In total, we have
and will serve more than 100 seniors in Cupertino.
All comments we received are very positive. Many seniors asked us to continue the program.'

Please let us know if you have any other questions regarding our application. Thanks.

CACCC’s entire narrative for question #8:
*8. Describe the purpose of the requested awarded funds and the services that will be provided:
Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief Program
Loss is universal. Loss is inherent to the experience of chronic and terminal illness. If we avoid facing the grief
that can come with loss, grief can accumulate and eventually have detrimental impacts on an individual’s
health and mental well-being. In a mindful approach to loss, we attempt to meet grief directly. That is, to be
with the responses to loss, rather than push them away, pretend they are not there, or put them off for
another day.
CACCC has developed a four-module workshop: “Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief”. Each module is a 2-hour
workshop. Each workshop includes: mindfulness practice, instructor presentation, breakout room instructor
facilitated exercise. This workshop is open to all Mandarin-speaking adults who have completed the Mindful
Self-Care Workshop (a free seven-week training provided by CACCC).
New program/project/event
With a generous community grant funding from the City of Cupertino in 2022/2023, CACCC
developed a new much needed program: Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief to address life, death,
grief and loss, mindfully, for the Chinese community, multigenerational Chinese families and family
caregivers experiencing grief and loss during these challenging times.
Additionally, CACCC’s intends to continue to build on the program successes of Starting the
Conversation from previous funding years (2019/20, 2020/21 and 2022/23 with the Chinese
community in Cupertino and surrounding areas by training the staff, case managers and trained
volunteers of organizations in Cupertino and surrounding areas who serve the Chinese community.
Mindfully Facing Loss and Grief
Purpose: Encourage participants to face and address their loss and grief by providing mindful
approaches to grief and loss, bereavement, mourning and a life memory book to foster positive
mental and emotional health and well-being, overall.
The City of Cupertino’s Community Grant Funding helped develop this new course conducted in
Chinese (Mandarin): Mindfully Facing Grief and Loss to help a family loved one, family members,
family caregivers and everyday people to be able to mindfully embrace life and death and mindfully
facing grief and loss. Each module is a 2-hour workshop. The four modules developed included:
Module 1: Loss and Grief: This module is primarily focused on an exercise that replicates the
variety of loss experienced when confronted with chronic and terminal illness. Mindfulness helps
us see again there’s nothing inherently wrong with grief. Grief is not a problem it’s a process to go
through as it is life’s natural response to a loss that has meaning and significance.

Module 2: Bereavement: Bereavement is the period after a loss during which grief and mourning
occurs. The time spent in bereavement for the loss of a loved one depends on the circumstances of
the loss and the level of attachment to the person who died or personal loss.
Module 3: Mourning: Mourning is the outward expression of our grief; it is the expression of one’s
grief. Mindful breathing, mindful walking and giving and receiving kindness can help us mourn.
Mourning is greatly influenced by cultural beliefs, practices, and rituals.
Between Modules 2 or 3, incorporate a Self-Care Stress Reduction exercise session for participants
to reduce stress, to stimulate mind and body and emotional spirits to alleviate symptoms of grief
and loss.
Module 4: Life Memory Book: Create a template for people to use as a guide to review their lives,
their memories, post their photos and write down the words they like to share with their families,
loved ones and friends.
