Better late than never!
I joined the orientation visit on 31/8 and it was a good time.
Our "client" was Mdm Ho and she was a jolly old woman. We first cleaned her house(which didn't require much cleaning to begin with) and then sat down to talk to her.Even though we were the ones who were supposed to be there to talk to her, it seemed that she was the main person calling the shots in the conversation, which really helped to ease a lot of awkward tension.
It was very heartening when she tried to involve the new people in the group. She also made very specific references to many people from the CSC bunch, and how they were doing. I can tell that the CSC community has made a real difference in her life, and continue to be a part of her life and social circle. Another interesting thing was her ability to remember details despite her being old, and being able to recall who did what. The CSC people have also treated her like their own "mentor"(for lack of a better word) and have also somehow kept her in the loop of the things happening in their lives. The benefit of accompanying these people really do go both ways.
I was glad to be part of the orientation visit and to have had such an experience!
