Chess Club to All Saints Home

On 27th February, the Chess Club as well as some members from the CCC went to visit the residents at All Saints Home. They spent 2 hours interacting with the old folks. This may seem like an easy task to many but without the ability to speak in dialect, this activity is definitely challenging! Let's find out from Chess Club how they felt after the activity (:

" I felt more enlightened after going through this activity. In the past, I took my happiness for granted." - Andre Lie

"I feel that what I did was not enough and I need to contribute more." - Leslie Lim

"I felt sad for the elderly and the importance of knowing dialect to communicate with them." - Alan Pang

I believe that our visit there have made their day Alan. (: Just a smile would be able to make someone's day. Guess what? Even a touch can make them feel good, really!

So, readers out there, here's a tip for you! If you are not able to communicate with the old folks when you are on a home visit, just smile at them, shake hands and perhaps give them a back massage. ;) Its the thought that counts. Now, its time to catch the Chess Club members in action!

Judging from the photos, I am sure the Chess Club had an enriching experience and enjoyed their session at All Saints Home. Overall, the members have applied the college's value of Selflessness and Respect during the activity. See you in the next entry!
