LB-HCA Exchange Program

LB-HCA EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Yeap, we had some kinda exchange program today. Some volunteers came over from HCA Hospice care. In case you were wondering what HCA Hospice is about, here's a short description:

Basically what it does is that volunteers visit terminally-ill patients at their homes, interact with the residents, and clean up the place, mostly on saturday mornings. For this particular visit, we went to a house at Parkway area, and his nice neighbour was helping to prepare curry, and so there was free lunch. hehe.. Yea, anw, we helped to wash the dishes and clean up the place too. Before I went for the visit, I had thought that it would be gloomly, but its not, seriously. The uncle still looked cheerful, and it was no where appeared sad. Anyway, just thought i would just share my thoughts.[Hey, hey! I'm not trying to promote HCA, just think that it would be good to let everyone know what other RVPs do. :)]

And anyway, after the visit, James and Suan Hong managed to persuade Shang Ren, Jun Jie and Xiao Xuan to come for the visit too for an 'exchange programme'. And we met another new volunteer, Nandini before proceeding to the usual place.

Together with the usual volunteers, we started our visit at around 2.30, cos most of us were late. Blind sisters are doing fine, just that we were trying to find things to talk to her about. Uncle Lee was saying that his asthma was getting worse, and that the prices of the medicine kept increasing. And his life story (as usual). For Guan Yin auntie, heard that she was feeling weak, and that she was saying that she was going to die (lets pray that Guan yin will bless her).

After the visit, some of us went to IKEA to jalang jalang. From animal viewing, to art appreciation and flower arrangement, we never knew there were so many things to see at IKEA. Must go there for our BBS next time.

Certainly a tiring day. But worth it, knowing more about other RVP and knowing new friends too. Must have more of such exchanges in future too!
