All Saint's Home Visit - 14th May

On the 14th May, the whole of Aged committee went down to All Saints' Home (Hougang) to interact with the elderly there. We taught them how to fold stars, played tic-tac-toe and charades (a guessing game) with them. Some of us also got to feed the elderly their dinner.

I was in the group that did stars for them. Though the visit was a short one, I was glad to see the elderly lit up with smiles on their faces when we interacted with them and folded stars for them. Although the stars were simple gifts from us, the old folks were clearly delighted. It was a joy to see them smiling and telling us that the stars we made were very beautiful. Besides that, I also got the chance to feed one of them her dinner. It was quite awkward at first as this was my first time, but I soon got the hang of it. What may seem simple to us such as eating a dinner, was actually not easy for them and it made me appreciate life even more. It was definitely an eye-opener for me.”
