Visit to Brighthill Evergreen Home & Orange Valley Nursing Home 探访光明山修身院以及柑谷私人疗养院,5月21日(星期六)





第二次出发又遇上了雨天,而且这次雨下得更久。虽然天不作美,骑士们并没有因此取消行程。他们偶尔停下来避雨,还是断断续续的完成了两次探访。
雨后路滑,骑士们小心骑往目的地。坚持,是为了要把爱心送到有弱势长者的地方,希望他们能感受到一丝丝的温暖。15位骑士停访位于武吉班让的光明山修身院,以及位于金文泰的柑谷私人疗养院,全程长达30公里。

长者、骑士和义工们在舞蹈中共乐,度过一个欢乐的早上。
这是傳神居家照顾协会于今年1月定下的全岛送暖活计划,三年内乐龄骑士们将陆续地为“爱”而出发…….


History seems to repeat itself. It was another rainy day. The rain was even longer than the last time, mercilessly beating down on us, making it difficult to cycle. So this time, there was no choice but to stop and wait until the rain eased up enough for us to continue cycling safely, slowing our pace due to wet roads.
There was again, a reason for us to continue cycling; our destination was another old folks’ home Brighthill Evergreen Home in Bukit Panjang and Orange Valley Nursing Home in Clementi. Fifteen of us managed to complete the 30 km trip.

At the Home, we interacted with the elderly residents through simple exercises and dances. Everyone had a good time. The residents were grateful and cheered up by our visit, and we in turn, felt motivated to continue our aim of visiting 100 Homes within 3 years, reaching out and touching lives!
