Games = Fun = Laughter = Happy Memories

It was games day in Ward 53 on the Saturday afternoon of 15 November 2008. Our members and guest made up of Zack, Wahid, Shedah, Edward, Qi Jun, Pei Shan, Wei Min, Mervyn and Yanxing came together for a day of fun with the patients of Ward 53.

The patients were separated into 2 groups and played simple games like musical chair and follow the leader. One of the games required the patients to listen to Zack and had to placed number of body parts on the chair. It was amusing to see some of the patients trying to accomplish Zack’s demand. As this was our second visit, some of the patients recognised some of our volunteers and are able to address them by name.

The highlight of the visit was of course “SNACK TIME”. Volunteers served the patients with some snacks to occupy their time. Overall, everyone enjoyed themselves and volunteers and patients are looking forward for the Christmas Party that will be held on 20 Dec 2008. Do feel free to join us then. I promise it will be a party filled with excitement and wonderful performance.

Visit to Institute of Mental Health (25 Oct 2008)

Our club visited the Institute of Mental Health, Ward 53A. For this visit, the members and volunteers had an art and craft activity with the patients. The objective of the activity is to construct a hanging mobile. The patients coloured the template which had the garden or seashore concept. Volunteers then assisted them by cutting the template and pasting them onto the mobile.



I would like to extend my gratitude to the members of RAC Singapore West (Jerlyn, Ben, Wahid) , our guests (Edward, Hoo Ying, Esther, Qi Jun and Wei Min ) and members from RAC National University of Singapore (Niro, Ameya, Christine, Aditi and Piyara)



Below is the photos of some of our volunteers attending the event.



Hope to see you during our next session.:)
