Share Of Joy

Well, today done something very meaningful event. Actually today my training institute organised an event for the whole school of trainees to do some community work.

We went to an elderly home at Changi called Peacehaven where it is under part of the salvation army. Our mission today is to bring some of the elderly to the zoo and also help them to clean up the home and make some festive season decorations as Chirstmas is coming.

For me, I was put to incharge one of the elderly as to bring her along to the zoo. I felt so worth to help out in this event as it really can bring some joy for them as most of the old folks, they seldom have the chance to go out. As this is the opportuntiy to let them enjoy the outside scenery. Some of the elderly hardly go out and some even didn't have the chance of visiting the zoo when they are young so I really thank God for giving this ocassion for them. Can really see them smiling and smiling. They are so happy to go to the zoo and some of them are so eager to go as they wanted to put their wheelchair towards the bus by themselves.

Beside it, some of us are require to stay at the home to do some cleaning up and help to do decorations and really it brings out the happiness of the season. Anyway, today really touch my heart as doing community work really brings happiness to someone and also yourself. Its been a long time i didn't do such communtiy work to serve the elderly as I now more active on the younger and youth and 3rd world countries. Maybe I should consider somemore community work for the coming new year resolutions as part of it.
