January Birthday Celebration and SG Care 7 Jan 2012

2012-01-09T14:56:00.009+08:00

Time flies and one year has passed since we welcomed the first group of SG Care volunteers in Jan 2011. We hope this platform has provided volunteer/s an experience to volunteer in a nursing home and at the same time hoping there are also volunteer/s that will like to continue volunteering with us.

Without sufficient volunteers, we can only manage to provide or run activities in small scale and we will not be able to reachout to more residents. Our objectives is always try our best to bring joy and happiness to as many residents as possible during each of our visit.

On the actual day,we arrives in the early morning at All Saints Home to put our newly acquired skill to make 100 Angel balloons for residents as well as wreaths and Christmas Tree decoration for Chapel. Its a fun and happy experience to all those volunteers that had turn up to make it possible.

Kopi Roti Session - 5 Nov

2011-11-07T22:02:00.012+08:00

The food and beverages for this weekend's Makan Session was prepared entirely by the volunteers (well, minus the birthday cake - can anyone bake one the in the future?).... It was certainly not an easy feat considering 60-70 serves of Roti, spread with kaya and topped with pork floss, have to be churned out in quick successions to reach the plates of participating residents.

In fact, we have ran out of our monthly Makan ideas, so if you happen to have any suggestions - whether from Hawker Centres or prepare on the spot, just drop us a line =)

Thanks to all the volunteers who made this maiden attempt successful. Special mention to Kee Teck, Lay Ping, and Petra who have gone to the extra mile to purchase the ingredients.

A leisurely afternoon tea session with SG Care volunteers on 1st October 2011

2011-10-02T15:35:00.007+08:00

Time flies and we are in the last few months of the year before the other major celebrations kick in, and we have decided to have a simple birthday celebration for October......

The menu of the week: chocolate birthday cake & chwee kueh from Bedok Hawker Center

Turnips & sambal chilli are the best companions to go with the smooth delicacy.

We are so glad that Swee Ling is out and about volunteering at All Saints after taking a good rest =)

Food glorious food..... Instead of 3-in-1 coffee served on usual months, we went on the traditional route this week by introducing the coffee powder variant that requires sieving by the "sock"....

New volunteers from SG Cares interacting with the residents and ensuring they are well fed during the afternoon tea.

Birthday celebration starts, and we are fortunate to have 1 resident & 2 volunteers celebrating with us.

Bingo Game enhanced by the hard work of Kee Teck - no more ambiguity on the numbers called.

Residents can only win once in fairness to less lucky ones.

First winner of the Ultimate Prize this week - when all the numbers on your card were called out.

Volunteer Guitar Connection (VGC) paid us a visit too! VGC recruits fresh volunteers without any guitar playing skills, "grill" them to perfection, and deploy them to various elderly homes to showcase their performance....

A big thanks to all who were present, and made this Saturday afternoon tea a relaxing affair.

Mid Autumn Festival - 10 Sep 2011

2011-09-19T01:03:00.007+08:00

Mid Autumn Festival is a period for family and friends to gather & share their happiness over moon cake. We were fortunate that Faith Community Baptist Church took time and effort to spend a whole afternoon with the residents, bringing them joy and laughter. Besides, moon cakes, light snacks & beverages were sponsored by the group too =)

Since this is the beginning of the month, we celebrated the birthday for residents and volunteers born in the month of September at one go.

ESN Carnival - 3rd September 2011

2011-09-18T02:20:00.013+08:00

All Saints Tampines participated in the Elderly Sector Network (ESN) Carnival, and we offered 2 stalls - Cone Ring Game & Fishing Game. Our performing group involving 2 residents and 5 volunteers eventually won the consolation prize after much hard work - led by our ever energetic Rae.

This innovative "fish pond" were fully designed by Mosaic Ministry, an external volunteering group that frequently joins our weekly service. This concept successfully attracted much attention from the crowd on the day.

Equally addictive is the Cone & Ring Game, we had seen residents playing 4 rounds just to clinch the ever elusive top prize.

Our sister home - All Saints Hougang

The event started off with the lion dance performance till our ear drums are "blasted". A great way to wake every one up!

Where is my first customer?

Prizes to lure residents to our game stalls. Leftmost - bake beans, Center - pickled lettuce, Right - biscuits

There were 2 sessions for the carnival - morning & afternoon. Each session accomodated 200+ residents.

July Birthday Celebration

2011-07-03T00:57:00.003+08:00

Time flies and our volunteering activities have entered H2 of the year.

A string of exciting activities like Elderly Sector Network (ESN) Carnival, Moon Cake Festival and etc are lined up for our residents. That's one of the reasons we are engaging SG Cares participants on a monthly basis, to recruit regular volunteers to support such initiatives.

First week of the month is designated as our Birthday Celebration & Food session, and this week is no exception.

The service was kicked started with a round of introduction of All Saints Home (Tampines), and the weekly activities of volunteers.

A wheelchair crash course was conducted before the volunteers were broken up into various groups to run the event.

Menu of the Month = Turnip & Glutinous Rice Cakes

Jia Ling & Karen are acting as Food Station managers this week. Well done in distributing the food equally to those present in hall, and also residents who stayed back at the wards!

Volunteers are tagged to individual residents so that they are well taken care of.

The nurses stepped in to help out in feeding too.

This month we are fortunate to have a double cake celebration. I have a feeling that the second one is nicer.... Only the residents would know =)

Birthday songs were belted out by All Saints Hougang volunteers. The sister home in Tampines is in need of more talented guitarists... Any volunteers??

The July babies are seated at the VIP Table this week and garnered the most attention.

Bingo Game. Let me tell you this card is the best invention ever. When the numbers are called out and matches the ones available on the card, just press it down. Pens are not need anymore, especially handy for those weaker residents.

Bundle of Joy - Both Trang & Linh can not utter a single Chinese word or dialect, and yet their communication skills are superb! I wonder how they do it, those interested please setup tutorial sessions with the dynamic duo.

Introducing the Bingo Boys - JH & KC

Guitarist Benjamin in action during the ward-2-ward singing session.

Mosaic ministry members are now our regular volunteers too!

The volunteering session ends with a meaningful debriefing session. It is a platform for us to receive your feedback and implement service improvement ideas.

A big THANKS to everyone, and we hope to see more SG Cares participants coming back to join in the fun-filled services.

Salt Bottle Day - A Pictorial Guide

2011-06-18T21:06:00.009+08:00

Have you ever wondered how the colorful bottles sold at souvenir shops are made?

Since some volunteers from our sister home - All Saints Home (Hougang) turned up, we decided change the initial befriending activity to art & craft session to answer the above question. I shall let the pictures do the talking on the steps of making salt bottles. Hopefully this post will act as a reference guide for future volunteers.

Step 0 - Collect chicken essence bottles (or any variants) with their caps intact. Soak them in water for a good 4-5 hours and peel off the labels, store the bottles in a dry place.

Step 1 - Setup tables padded by old newspapers to allow easier post activity clean up

Step 2 - Rub colored chalks on a plate of edible salt, and distribute the color evenly

Step 3 - Pour the colored salt into the bottles using funnel. Fill up one fifth of the bottle each time with different colors to achieve the rainbow effect. In between the layers, gently swirl the bottle to ensure even distribution.

When you are filling the final layer, allow a 2-3mm gap from the brim of the bottle for wax sealing later.

Step 4 - Seal the bottle with hot wax (preferably white) so that the salt is packed firmly and prevent the subsequent mixing of colors in the bottle

Step 5 - Tie a ribbon around the neck of the bottle

Step 6 - Do not forget to clean up the tables too =)

Happified volunteers & residents

We ended the simple art & craft session with the usual singing session around different wards. We were fortunate to have Benjamin & Roger to be the guitarists today!

Strum all your worries away!

I overheard the seniors singing - 我的故乡在 Tampines (My Hometown is in Tampines)

The ever jovial Edmund who brings a happy mindset to lift up spirits for residents & volunteers.

Sing along with residents

New Panasonic Viera at Level 3 - thanks for whoever that sponsors this!

Service ended with a debriefing session by Edmund. It was mentioned that feeding session will be kicked started in the near future, so posting a poster below as a reference material first.

Dumpling Festival - The First Attempt

2011-06-11T23:27:00.012+08:00

Our dumpling festival this year is different from the ones that we had for the past few years, as this is our first in house attempt to wrap and steam dumplings for the residents. The volunteers were fortunate to be guided by a group of uncles and aunties from Pasir Ris East Resident Committee, who imparted the niche dumpling wrapping skills on them. The ingredients for this year was also sponsored by the Committee, and we thank them for their generosity =)

On a side note, today's celebration was very hectic - dumpling wrapping, birthday celebration, SG Cares new volunteers orientation, performances by Mosaic Ministries & Volunteer Guitar Connection, and visit by Medtronic CSR Team all cramped in a single day.

Thanks to all who turned up to support.

A key challenge is to maintain a firm pressure on the dumpling during the knot tying part. It's difficult to ensure the ingredients do not fall out; the bamboo leaf is very slippery while you are tying the ruffian string around that conical shaped thing.

Volunteers reached the Home as early as 9.30am to setup the stations, undergo briefing and training.

Main ingredients: Seasoned Glutinous Rice, Braised Pork & Mushroom, Dried shrimps, and chestnut.

We were lucky the trainers are very very patient. Imagine being bombarded with questions posed by 15 beginners at the same time. How to do this, how to do that, why it does not work the way you did earlier, why the rice fall out, I do not know how to tie the knot please help.... etc kinda questions.

Key to success - initial rice amount should be very little, followed by appropriate amount of meat, and more rice in the end... There are other intricacies not that easily articulated, this is a skill that takes years to be perfected.

Dumplings ready to be steamed....

Sio Bak Zhang - ready to serve!

Special mention to Vivien who took up the challenge to coordinate food & beverage for more than 80 residents!

Birthday Celebration - for residents born in the month of June.

Water chestnuts for our guessing game. Residents are required to guess the number of chestnuts correctly to win a prize.

A prize or two would cheer you up - this the uncle who guessed the number of chestnuts correctly. The answer is thirty.

Performance by Mosaic Ministry - upbeat songs were belted, and lifted spirits of everyone in hall.

Performance by Volunteer Guitar Connection - Dumpling Festival Theme (Sio Bak Zhang) was performed and received thunderous applause from the audience.

Passing the Parcel Game - music stops, and you win a Grand Prize.

After the celebration, volunteers took one step further to sing & strum at various wards for those who did not participate in the celebration earlier.

Debriefing to all volunteers to share experiences & collect feedback.

The largest turn out for this year - a staggering 60 plus volunteers. Thank you very much for your time and effort to make this celebration a memorable one!

April Birthday Celebration with SG Cares Volunteers

2011-04-08T22:41:00.008+08:00

It's our great pleasure to host 18 SG Cares volunteers on 2nd April for the monthly birthday celebration with the residents.

Shortly after the introduction of the Home, and wheel chair handling briefing, the volunteers sprang into action to wheel the residents down to the dining hall to kick start the celebration.

Menu of the day was Chee Cheong Fun (rice noodle roll with sweet sauce), and the volunteers were pre-occupied with the food preparation, and serving the residents present on the day...

The snacks proved popular with the residents, and were quickly polished off.. Our volunteers promptly topped up for those who requested for more, and served residents on the upper floors who were not present at the hall.

It's our usual practice to celebrate residents' birthday on every first Saturday of the month. Unfortunately, not all residents are healthy enough to make their way down to the dining hall... Last Saturday was an exception, as one usually frail resident (Ah Hong) turned up, and we were pleasantly surprised =)

Birthday songs echoed around the hall thanks to the large number of volunteers who sang their hearts out... In turn, aunty Heng Wah wished residents and volunteers to be healthy and cheerful always.

While Miss Octopus (yes, the one wearing H&M) was busy dissecting the cake, channeling volunteers to different sections, thinking about the activities ahead, and ensuring orderliness...... the birthday babies were enjoying their piece of cake.

Introducing Bingo Boys - Lester, Benjamin, and the other gentleman whom I did not manage to catch his name.

Residents are usually excited with the prospect of winning something from a game be it lucky draws, mass games, and Bingo is one of our official pastimes during big celebrations like this one.

Am I striking soon?

First Bingo of the Day - prize collection on behalf of resident.
