Visit to Phyllis Caring
Home
Sunway CPA
Australia Student Charter had organized a visit to an old folk’s home named
Phyllis Caring Home. This meaningful activity was organized to cheer up the old
folks and let them feel loved as well as care from all of us. It was held on
9th of April 2016 (Saturday) from 9am until 3pm at Jalan 12/12 Petaling Jaya.
Before departing to Phyllis Caring Home on 9th of April,
all SCSC members gathered at Sunway University at 9am and departed at 9.30am.
There were 37 members and 12 old folks from Phyllis Caring Home during that
day. Upon reaching the old folks’ home, members started their tasks which had
been allocated earlier. Some members were assigned to clean up the home and
others would then accompany and talk to the old folks. The old folks were very
happy as there were so many of us who have visited them and they felt grateful
that they can share their stories with us.
SCSC members had been busy with the preparations for this event such as planning games that were suitable for the old folks, souvenirs and entertainments to cheer them up. When the
entertainments were carried out, the old folks were very excited and curious of
what we had prepared for them. Members sang classic songs and played
“Snake and Ladder” game with them. Everyone joined the session and the greatest
part was that the old folks sang along with the members. Some of the old folks
told the members that the songs had brought flashback of their past memories.
As for the foods, SCSC members decided to cook fried mee hoon, vegetables and fish ball soup for the old folks and also ordered “tau fu fa” for dessert, taking consideration of their health. During lunch
time, all the old folks were anticipating the members’ home cooked food and all
of them were satisfied with the food. Most of them complimented our chefs, Mudz
and Yuen Jing for their great cooking skills. While having lunch together, the
old folks continued to share their past stories and chatted with the members
happily.
Time passed by
so fast that the visitation had come to an end. We hugged the old folks and
took group pictures with them as part of memories. Before that, we gave the
souvenirs that we made ourselves which were paper cranes to each old folks.
In conclusion,
this visitation to old folks’ home should continue to be conducted in the
future to show more support to Phyllis Caring Home. This event helped to make
the old folks happy and to have positive thoughts during their daily lives.
“Life still goes on”, this is the reason that keeps each and every old folks
live every day.
