Visit to HCA Hospice.

Last Friday on the 10th of October, Our members went over to HCA Hospice located at 12 Jalan Tan Tock Seng to help out! It was definitely a fruitful event as to many of us as it was our very first visit to the hospice.


We boarded the bus and arrived at the hospice at around 2.30pm and soon we were all settling into our respective groupings in the respective areas in which we were supposed to help in.
15 of our members were in-charge of mingling among the patients, entertaining them and lending them a listening ear. Every student was attached to a patient whereby we sat right next to them for the next few hours, chatting with them, while they relax and enjoy the various activities that was planned for them, which includes Karaoke Singing and Dancing Sessions and another special activity where they were introduced to some friendly dogs as companions.

While some were busy interacting with the patients, the rest of the members also managed to help out with admin work in the office. They filed and printed documents and also helped to make phone calls to the family members of the patients informing them about the upcoming events.


At the same time, as the members of the aged and less fortunate committee were busy engaged in the activities indoor, our fellow members from the environment team braved the scorching sun and were busy helping out with the gardening work in the garden!


“We learnt how to garden and do something useful under the hot sun. though tiring, we feel satisfied by what we have done.” – Norlimah


“I managed to learn a lot from the patient whom I am attached to. This is because, despite having cancer in many of her organs, she constantly tells me that she will never give up and will live her life to the fullest.” – Clarabelle


“I think that this event was really fruitful. It allows us to interact with the patients. As for me, I feel that this is a good chance to learn how to interact with others and dance along with them.” – Danica

“This visit was very meaningful and refreshing to me as I learnt that it is important to make the last few days of a person’s life as happy as possible as these people were singing and dancing along with us despite their problems and worries. this has taught me to treasure and enjoy every moment in life.” - Iswariya
