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!

Visit to St Andrew's Cathedral Home for the Aged 圣安德烈座堂乐龄之家 30 April 2011







乐龄单车家族浩浩荡荡地启动了承诺的三年计划,第一间探访的便是圣安德烈座堂乐龄之家。
虽然只有21位年长的奶奶们住在乐龄之家,但随着因下雨而淋得满身湿透的乐龄骑士到访,他们无不感动,有的在听丽君的鼓励之后还落泪,冲到台前拥抱丽君。

乐龄骑士们带动奶奶们跳起《练武功》,激昂的音乐似乎唤醒了他们一丝丝活跃的一面,跟着大队手舞足蹈。

电台958广播内容:四名乐龄人士25天完成台湾环岛送暖活动

四名乐龄人士25天完成台湾环岛送暖活动
2011年 1月 25日
http://www.capital958.sg/news/singapore/EDC110127-0000518/

本地4名乐龄人士骑脚踏车环绕台湾,把1万张祝福卡送给当地有需要的人。

这四名“乐龄单车家族”骑士花了25天,完成这个环岛送暖活动。

“乐龄单车家族”其中一名队员是20年前被毁容的萧丽君。她谈到自己在台湾骑脚踏车时,碰到的困难:“当遇到很多上斜坡的时候,要上山的那种。那时候,就要用很多的力气爬上去。在爬当中,像我们的人生过程一样,真的经历到那种很痛苦,要慢慢地爬上去。可是,过后呢,又觉得渡过了那一关。真的是关关难过关关过。”

另一名队员是62岁、行动不便的黄连盛。在台湾的环岛探访活动中,一位坐在轮椅上的老妇不断地鼓励他要坚强,让他感动不已:“我看到她,就想到以前自己不能走路的时候。所以,我们不知道我们有什么。失去了才知道有什么。”


另一方面,隶属传神居家照顾协会的“乐龄单车家族”也计划在未来三年内,走访全国各大孤儿院和养老院等机构。他们将骑着脚踏车探访一些有需要的人,并通过自身的例子,鼓励不幸人士走出阴霾,乐观地面对生活。预计,将有100家机构受益。

协会全球执行长李志伟受访时也说,“乐龄单车家族”也希望能够走出新加坡,用积极乐观的生活态度感染其他地区的人:“这个车队就是明年我们是准备就是除了三年在新加坡的100个,每个礼拜都要骑。然后明年就是从新加坡骑到Penang。接下来,第二个计划就是从温哥华到洛杉矶。那第三年,我们希望从东京骑一直骑到北海道。所以我们的计划不是梦,我们说了就要做到。”

有兴趣参与计划的公众,不论年龄,都可以拨协会电话6560-5455询问详情。
