Goodies Bag Distribution @ Henderson CC on 20/7/13‏

Before I start with the activities for this week, below is an email from Mr Goh from CMH in response to Heartwarmers outing to Gardens By The Bay:

"Please convey our heartfelt thanks, on behalf of the residents who went for the outing, for the love and care shown by each and every one of the volunteers. You have put in so much time, effort and finances into organising this outing and making sure that all the residents are well taken care of. I was really encouraged to see at least one 3 generation family volunteering together.

I saw some of the volunteers connecting very well with the resident under their care, directing his / her attention to the colours of the flowers, and other highlights along the way. One of the volunteers took out her own jacket to cover a resident, when she realise that she was still feeling cold even under the CMH sweater. Another went to buy a packet of curry chicken for one of our staff when he found out that she does not take pork. I am sure that there were many personal touches that I did not notice, but all these went to make the outing so much more memorable for our residents."

Thank you Mr Goh for the message, our heartfelt thanks goes out to CMH and its staff as well for the support given to us throughout our time at CMH.
Lets all work together to bring more care and love to the beneficiaries at CMH.

4) Ang Bao Counting Room (4-5 volunteers)
