The House of Victory Elderly Home Visit

On the 26th of July, the Lions Club of KL North organized a visit to the House of Victory Elderly Home at OUG. The objective of the activity was to spend time with the old folks as well as to bring happiness to them. The activity was participated by several Lions club along with us and Leo Club of SMK Jinjang North.

We arrived at the home at around 10am and shortly after, the activity started at with emcee Ln.Chin Wee providing an introduction. Speeches were then delivered by OC Ln.Tan Teoh and region chairperson Ln.Tan Poh Leng respectively.

An ice-breaking session was to follow with Lions and Leos alike attending to the old folks. It was an interesting affair at first as some of the old folks only speak certain dialects, eg. some spoke Cantonese while some Hakka etc. Thankfully though, this was sorted out quickly. Some of the old folks were keen to share their background and stories, from which I found out one particular old folk came from China decades ago.

Lunch was next, the participants were quick to distribute the food to the old folks. A few of the less able elderly were attended to, so they too could enjoy their meal. After lunch, we had an activity session. This was started by one of the old folks, who said he loved singing. True to his words, everybody was trilled by his singing and happily clapped to the tune. Lions and Leos then joined in the 'karaoke' session.

The fun continued with a birthday celebration for Mdm Phun and Mr.Lee who turned 85 and 60 respectively in July. Both of them were delighted to see the cake and thanked everybody for the celebration.

As soon as the cake were cut and eaten, we took a group photo before we said our goodbyes to the old folks.

Roar!
