1st IMH session in 2010

Rotaract Club of Singapore West had the IMH session running for the 4th year in 2010. The objective of this year's IMH project was to guide the NUS rotaract club on how to run the event and to ensure that they will be able to continue to the programme for the rest of the year ahead.

The event was held on 18th September had a total of 21 volunteers attended the event. 11 of which were members from the Rotaract Club of NUS. Due to a large group of volunteers, we were splitted up into 2 differen groups during the session.

Throughout the volunteering session, volunteers played games with the patients and had the chance to interact and know more about the patients IMH. Though first-timers looked nervous when they first entered the ward, they managed to overcome their "fear" and "anxiety" when the games progressed. The whole sesssion ended within two hours and NUS rotaract club would be holding the next IMH volunteering session this coming saturday, 2nd October 2010.



The debrief session on 26th Sept was given by our RAC West President Wahid and some of the guest volunteers who turned up were inspired by his efforts and energy in engaging the patients.

The 1st IMH volunteer session in 2010 was a successful one and we look forward to the major outing that we were be collaborating togather with NUS Rotaract Club in next year March 2011 with RAC NUS.
