Time flies and our volunteering activities have entered H2 of the year.
A string of exciting activities like Elderly Sector Network (ESN) Carnival, Moon Cake Festival and etc are lined up for our residents. That's one of the reasons we are engaging SG Cares participants on a monthly basis, to recruit regular volunteers to support such initiatives.
First week of the month is designated as our Birthday Celebration & Food session, and this week is no exception.
The service was kicked started with a round of introduction of All Saints Home (Tampines), and the weekly activities of volunteers.
A wheelchair crash course was conducted before the volunteers were broken up into various groups to run the event.
Bingo Game. Let me tell you this card is the best invention ever. When the numbers are called out and matches the ones available on the card, just press it down. Pens are not need anymore, especially handy for those weaker residents.
Menu of the Month = Turnip & Glutinous Rice Cakes
Jia Ling & Karen are acting as Food Station managers this week. Well done in distributing the food equally to those present in hall, and also residents who stayed back at the wards!
Volunteers are tagged to individual residents so that they are well taken care of.
This month we are fortunate to have a double cake celebration. I have a feeling that the second one is nicer.... Only the residents would know =)
Birthday songs were belted out by All Saints Hougang volunteers. The sister home in Tampines is in need of more talented guitarists... Any volunteers??
The July babies are seated at the VIP Table this week and garnered the most attention.

Bundle of Joy - Both Trang & Linh can not utter a single Chinese word or dialect, and yet their communication skills are superb! I wonder how they do it, those interested please setup tutorial sessions with the dynamic duo.

Mosaic ministry members are now our regular volunteers too!
The volunteering session ends with a meaningful debriefing session. It is a platform for us to receive your feedback and implement service improvement ideas.
A big THANKS to everyone, and we hope to see more SG Cares participants coming back to join in the fun-filled services.
