For the community :)
Hey babies!
Remember we once talked about doing community service such as putting up a mini performance at old folks homes? Yep, we're planning to do so during this holidays. However, as we'll most prolly be busy training for CCA Recruitment, we will not be performing for them at the old folks home. What we will be doing would be stuffs like interacting with them, singing for them, reading to them etc.
During the previous training, the 6th of march, those who came for training have roughly planned the week to organise this, which is on the first week of April. Though its not confirmed, we would really love to plan this and make it happen. We will be holding a meeting soon together with Aishah and i to further discuss on this. Wirda will inform you of the meeting once confirmed. Express your interest by suggesting activities and ideas that we can carry out at the old folks home.
By the way, this is the home that we have planned to "attack" first. hehe. Do read up on them. I have copied and paste some information on them from their site. Its one of the Jamiyah homes, Darul Takrim. The location is very convenient and the home encourages the community to contribute (last para).
DARUL TAKRIM
Objectives
To provide shelter and care for the aged and the destitute
of all race and religion.
The Muslim Missionary Society Singapore was appointed
as the Managing Agent in 1997 to run one of the five replacements
homes for the destitutes created by the then Ministry of Community
Development consequent to the shifting of the Woodlands Home.
Thus the Jamiyah Home for the Aged was established
and it was located at No: 1 Ching Cheng Avenue at the former
Still Road Polyclinic premises, which was renovated for the
purpose. A purpose built new Home at 1Tampines Ave 3
was built by the Ministry of Community Development
in the year 1998 and handed over to Jamiyah Singapore.
This purpose built Home with the state of the art facility
for elder care functions as a centre for service for the frail
and needy destitutes. The Home can accommodate 186 residents
and most of the residents are the elderly.
The Home admits residents from all races and religious
background. Residents are normally ambulant and they are
provided with nutritious meals taking into considerations
their dietary needs. A team of nurses, welfare officers,
nursing aides and attendants provide round the clock care
facility at the Home.
We also encourage volunteers including students from
the secondary schools and tertiary institutions to visit
the Home and organise activities and interact with
the residents. The daily routine of the Home includes
programmes such as Physiotherapy, Tai Chi exercises,
art and craft sessions, reading and listening sessions,
religious discourses, recreational programmes, indoor
and out door programmes organised with the help of
staff and volunteers.
