After an early sat morning 7am to help ADA in their forum as photographer, I rushed down to All Saints Home after quick lunch with my dad..
Luckily i reached on time 2pm before the falling rain, then prepared the basement hall with the 3 sets of games and orientation powerpoint slides.. Waiting for the group of SG Cares volunteer to arrive..
We just had a very interesting mass games sat service with 30 old folks and 20+ volunteers..
There were 20 SG Cares volunteers attended this monthly volunteer program and we had good moments of laughter and fun with the old folks, whom enjoyed themshelves so much with the happy, kind volunteers..
We completed the volunteering service with singing songs to the 3 levels and sharing of volunteering experience from Foo, Teck Ee and myself. Explaining the importance of regular long term volunteering in an elderly home..
Hope that many of the SG Cares volunteers can continue to share their precious time to spend great saturday of handicrafts, befriending and mass games with the All Saints residents..
All Saints Home's Volunteer Group was set up on 6th Sept 08, when a group of volunteers joined the Volunteer-A-Day 2008 programme organised by Volunteer Initiator Person (VIP) and Volunteer Management Workgroup (VMW) under (NVPC) National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre. There are 140 elderly. As a new vol group, we are looking for more new volunteers to join us on alternative Saturday from 2.30pm-6pm in elderly activities,mass games, handicrafts,outings and festive events.
