Soccer to Sunlove Home!!!

The Soccer team visited the intellectually disabled at Sunlove Home on 19th November 2008. They interacted with the patients there by helping the disabled recycle headphones as well as carry out a series of performances. They applied the college's core values of Active, Selflessness, Perseverence, Respect and Enterprise for the activity. Let's check them out!And of course, not forgetting their reflections after their activity....

"This was my first experience at an Old Folks Home and I felt we did a fantastic job. I have learnt not to take things for granted and be satisfied with what I have now." - Daniel

"I have learnt to not only be active in my CCA but also towards the society. After watching how much the patients enjoyed our performance and the way they rushed to shake our hands, I realised that many of them crave affection. I have learnt to treat my parents and relatives with love even when they grow old." - Lewis

"I feel a tremendous sense of achievement after this visit to Sunlove. I am very proud to have contributed back to society and I will remember this day forever. If given the chance I will want to do this activity again in the future. I will also encourage others to visit elderly homes as a form of Community Involvement Project (CIP)" - Anthony
