March Birthday Celebration

There is no better way to start off the month than to celebrate our dear residents' birthday. This month we had colourful Ji Dan Gao (Steamed Cakes):
Our meticulous and thoughtful volunteers did not forget to cut the cakes into bite-sized pieces so that uncles and aunties can enjoy the food. While working hard, our beautiful Carolyn also never fails to make jokes and entertain the rest of the volunteers :)
Introducing Crystal, one of our young and cheerful volunteers. This photo captures her tender moment with one of the residents. Her smile and cheerful disposition always brighten up the old folks' day.
And here is the main section of the celebration. Let's sing a birthday song and light up the candle on the delicious cake to celebrate the uncle's and auntie's birthday. We all wish them great health and happiness.

After savouring 2 types of cakes, it's time for the residents to try out their luck with Bingo! The grand prize was boiled peanuts can, which surely excited many residents. Meanwhile, our volunteers were concentrating on helping the them check the bingo cards.
After a exhilarating Bingo! session, we wheeled the residents up and went from ward to ward to sing Tian Mi Mi, Xiao Cheng Gu Shi, etc. Our singing may not be perfect but the residents enjoyed themselves and always generously clap for us.
