RAC Singapore West - Outing with IMH

In its fourth year running, RAC Singapore West together with RAC NUS jointly organised an outing for the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) patients at Marina Barrage on 26 March 2011.

This year, we had 19 VIPs - Very Important Patients - which we used among ourselves (volunteers) to communicate in bring out our special VIPs. This was a record high numbers of VIPs entrusted upon ourselves unlike previous years where it would be around 12 VIPs. This could be the strong rapport that we have built among the years with the ward. Kudos to RAC NUS too for supporting us in this project.

We played some ice-breaker games like "Simon says..." and had a kite-flying session for the VIPs to enjoy themselves. It was really nice to see the kites being assembled by the VIPs and up in the air. A sense of acheivement for all as most of the kites were up in the air, flying and soaring in the air.

Indeed, we at RAC Singapore West, hope that one day, they would also soar and fly high on their own accounts.

Some of the snapshots taken:

Look at all the kites!!!!

I hope that all the volunteers had fun flying the kites as well.
After the kite-flying session, we brought our VIPs a tour around the Marina Barrage.
Many thanks to Yan Xing for organising this outing as well as to RAC NUS for supporting us.
