Dear T.H.E. Seniors Volunteers...

YOU ARE WANTED!!!

We require manpower & womanpower to paint TWO homes (a 1-room flat & a 3-room flat). As both units are quite old and very gloomy-looking, the seniors would really appreciate a fresh coat of paint that will certainly brighten up the whole house and also brighten up their moods. It is quite a challenging task (especially for the 3-room flat) but sure to bring great satisfaction and joy upon completion. Really appreciate if you can help us out in this during your June hols.

Anyone keen to take up this painting challenge, please contact Pinchuan, Jolene or myself (6297-5818 or email sac@touch.org.sg). Thank you soooooooo much, in advance!

Quick Overview

Visit, chat, share & touched...
We visit the elderly who live alone in 2 blocks of one-room flats. Currently, we have 14 elderly who are participating in this programme. We chat with them and help them to do simple house chores. We also introduce simple interactive games to our elderly. Through the activities, we share special moments together and make our Saturdays worthwhile.
Besides, we have special activities during special occasions such as Chinese New Year where we spent the time together to make lanterns to decorate elderly homes. Not good at arts? Don't worry, the most valuable thing required in this programme is your passion. Our elderly look forward to each visit and often, they expect little more than a listening ear.

Quotes from volunteers
♥ Ling Qun: "I believe that they can still feel our love to them."
♥ Kok Seng: "Due to a slight dementia, Mdm C would use a poker card to remind her which son visited her that day. (Ace meaning the elder son, two meaning the second son and so forth)."
♥ Shurui: "At times, I found her quite adorable when she giggled, folded her arms across her chest, leaned back against her chair and maybe, pouted slightly."
♥ Cherie: "It showed me how the little that we can do for them could bring such a heart-warming smile to their faces."
♥ Edmund: "The tasks were completed swiftly due to the elite task force."
♥ Woon Yong: "I am very happy to receive a message that she remember and mention me during the senior visit yesterday."
