Golden Days

     On the 2nd of August 2014, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta organized a visit to White Dove retirement nursing center called Golden Days. The event started at 9.45 am and ended at 11.00 am. There were 6 members from our Leo club attending the project.

     The retirement home has 18 old folks and 6 staff members. We had brought oranges, egg tarts, buns, Milo and Soya bean packet drinks for the residents of the nursing home. Upon arriving, we were warmly welcomed. The staff was friendly and were kind to the residents of the retirement nursing home. The old folks are as equally friendly and shared many interesting stories with us. We then sang a few songs with the residents while one of our Leo members and her father played the guitars. We all had a joyful and fun time. After that, we distributed packet drinks for them. We also realized how unfortunate and devastating these elderly people are as they were once great people with happy families until their families could not take care of them anymore. Their family members would often visit them on weekends though. We left them with the food and drinks that we brought and bid them goodbye before we left. We hoped we made everyone there happy and visit them next time.
