Movie Trip for Old Folks

Our volunteers took time off their precious weekend to bring the old folks from the Bukit Batok Home for the Aged out for a movie at Golden Village Jurong Point.

" We want to let the Old Folks get some outdoor experience and to enjoy the comfort of the theatre instead of just being restricted to the Home. "

- Ms Poh Lay Pheng
(9th YEC Community Service Secretary)

After assigning among ourselves 2 elderly to 1 volunteer, we led them up to Level 3 to enjoy the show. The movie probably meant more than just a 2-hour event to both the Old Folks and to the volunteers.

Just a few months back, the jsYEC was contemplating the idea of bringing the Old Folks out of the Home due to safety concerns but still we managed to pull it off with some proper organization and great effort on the part of our volunteers.


Nostalgia for the Hokkien songs medly by the folks...

Reminiscence of the forgotten songs of the Seventh Month by the young...

A touching recollection... A meaningful Saturday get-together...

Thanks to one and all for making it possible!
