It was a hot a sunny Saturday morning. A great weather for a picnic and that’s what exactly we did for the patients (VIP) from the Institute of Mental Health. We have volunteers from the Rotaract Club of Singapore West, Rotaract Club of Tanglin and Rotaract Club of NUS. We also have in attendance Rotarian from the Rotary Club of Singapore West.
Some of our volunteers picked up the VIP from the Institution and made their way to West Coast Park. As it was a long journey; some of our volunteers had a sing-a-long session with the VIP on the bus to warm them up.
Upon reaching the West Coast Park, our other volunteers warmly welcome them and brought them to the picnic area where we had assembled and prepared games for them. We had spilt the various VIP and volunteers to 3 groups and were told to design their flag and give them a unique name. The three groups were called Singa, Ultra and Four-Two.
Once the groups had gotten acquainted with themselves, we proceeded to our first game which the game master instruct each group to arrange themselves in a certain sequence (e.g. from the tallest to the shortest etc). The first group that does that will earn a point.
The next activity was a ping pong ball relay. Each member of the group has to transport a ping pong ball with a spoon to a marker and back. The person will have to hand the ping pong ball to another member of the group. This cycle repeats till the last member does it.
We then had our lunch and continue to interact with the VIP. Upon finishing our lunch, we announced the results and Ultra emerged as the champion of the day’s activities. We then had a short stroll around the park, before the VIP returned back to the institution.
