A visit to nursing homes 27 April 2009

I would like to share my visit to a nursing home for all readers of my blog. This trip wad scheaduled at 27 April 2009 at 14:00pm to around 16:00pm. Though it was a short trip, but an meaningful one.

After we reach outside the nursing home, we need to measure our temperature one by one in case any of us spread swine flu. None of us did, therefore, we entered the nursing home. During our time of visits, we sang Dang Wo Men Tong Zai Yi Qi, which means When we goe together, Yue liang dai biao wo de xin and quite a few of the traditional songs.

I manage to snap a few pictures with the elderlies but did not have to time to upload it here. At the end of the event, I actually spoon-feed an elderly due to her lack of strength in eating. My form teacher was also snapping pictures of me spoon-feeding the auntie as she feels touched by it.

I did not manage to finish spoon-feeding the soup to the untie but I feel relieved as she said she can drink the soup herself. I was unwilling to go off but I knew it was the time to get back to school. I feel sad and waved all the lovely aunties goodbye.

I do hope one day I can visit that nursing home again, and definitely not just 2 hours!

I've finally managed to upload my pictures to my computer. Whats shown below is taken by myself. But its a little blur, therefore, I hope you guys don't mind.
