I, kendrick, did not attend this. But if given the chance, I

would absolutely love the opportunity to engage with the community through this service learning experience. After hearing many sharings by friends and classmates, they all can atest to it being a fruitful and meaningful experience that they would attend again and that they learnt a lot from it.

We felt that the experience benefitted us as it built up our confidence as we talked to strangers and interacted with people out of our age group.

We learnt how to empathise and communicate clearly with people that we don't know.

We shalt go onward on our conquest to assist as many individuals as we possibly can by partaking in various community events such as beach cleaning.

1: How the experience benefitted us:

allows us to be grateful for what we have (some elderly have limited resources due to financial constraints) and give back to community

2: How we can continue making a difference:

Join similar initiatives

donate to charities

Some elderly have poorer living conditions than others and struggle more, thus it is important that we aid them and provide them with essential items.

Additionally, some residents have a relatively "boring" life. Thus, it was important that we made the game station. In the future, we can also make it more inclusive and allow even children to play.

Some of the residents are of socio-economic statuses, thus we should help them. Participating in such events is one good way to accomplish this.

Some residents/ people in Singapore are simply are not as fortunate as others. We are all humans, thus we should all work to support and help one another, regardless of our differences.

My group agrees that the experience was beneficial, as it helped us better learn and understand how it feels to help people, especially the elderly, and the joy or satisfaction that comes from being able to help these people. Not only did we gain valuable experience with what volunteering feels like, but we were definitely inspired by the experience overall as a whole.

I personally feel that the experience has allowed me to refresh and recall how I felt in the past, when I helped out during an event for the elderly at Whampoa Community Centre, and reminded me of the feeling of being able to help others.

My group will carry on further to continue making a difference to the community in various ways and aspects of life.

Some of us may volunteer again in the future, and others may grow up to take on professions that benefit and impact the community or ourselves.

Some highlights of the entire experience involved being able to put smiles on the faces of the elderly.

While helping them and giving them the food trolleys, some of them also engaged in conversation, which was quite fun as we got to learn more about them while also talking with them and making their day.

I particularly enjoyed the conversations as they seemed quite happy or passionate when they talked about certain topics, so I was glad I could give them such an opportunity.

I also got to help a lot of people, which is something I am passionate about as I genuinely enjoy helping others.

Overall, the experience was quite great as it was a rare opportunity, and I was able to help a lot of different people of all different kinds by ushering them, guiding them, or simply talking to and helping them out in general.

We had an insightful and fulfilling experience during the mobile charity as we were able to aid the needy residents in the block to help them make their daily lives a little better. It was a heartwarming experience being able to distribute these daily necessities and interacting with these residents.

# data[].attributes.body
We were grateful for this experience and seeing the elderly smiling after collecting the goods we have sorted out, everyone felt a sense of pride being able to help the people in need and would love to participate in more similar volunteer work. This shows our graciousness and value of compassion deep in our souls.

# data[].attributes.body
we think that helping the elderly get what they need was very meaningful as it reminds us that they have already sacrificed a lot for the country and it is now our turn to give back and return the favour to them.

# data[].attributes.body
it was a good experience handing out food to others because i was able to help people first hand and find out their needs. We were able to see their happy and grateful faces and felt accomplished and proud.

Help those in need and be grateful for what we have.

This experience helped me deepen my compassion for those in need and allowed me to further empathise with their situation. I will continue volunteering in various areas, such as mobile food delivery when given the chance to, as well as encourage others around me to volunteer. I will also help others in need when I see them in my community.

In this photo, we had just finished the service learning and were all very exhausted. However, we were very grateful to have been able to support and help all the elderly by providing them with basic necessities.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt happy because of the meaningfulness of the activity. I got to help those in need such as putting items into the trolley and this helped the beneficiaries significantly. It was also my first time doing this type of volunteering work so I was very happy with the positive experience. The elderly also said many touching words of appreciation that made me realise my simple good deeds make a strong impact in their lives

We had a fulfilling experience in 好人好事, as we were able to help the needy residents of the block 1 precinct. We were able to give them daily necessities like rice, shampoo, and fruit jam. We also had set up the lorry system like this picture, and we had arranged them in a good manner for efficiency.We were working together as a class to create a fast moving system, with people helping to carry the beneficiaries' items up to their house doors, passing the necessities to them quickly. We also felt a sense of responsibility as these residents were our seniors and were not as fortunate as us, so it is important to give back to our forefathers for creating this safe and united society that we have today in Singapore. We enjoyed the process of chatting with them and helping them out. 助人为快乐之本。

We also obtained a sense of achievement as we saw the smiles they had on their faces when we were helping them, compelling us to participate in such volunteering events again.

We felt that this moment was really enriching as we were assigned roles to do which taught us that everyone has a role to play. We were diligently sorting out the food items and handing out food to them. This made us proud.

1. it was fun having the different types of interaction with the elderlies. Loading the lorry with the groceries.

2. it was very fun to help pack the groceries and transport the goods to the loading table where it would be given out

# data[].attributes.body
when sorting out the food, we enjoyed the process as it was highly essential for the food items to be sorted out properly so that the programme would be successful. The volunteers also taught us patiently on how to sort out the foods and we learnt some stuff that we did not know before

# data[].attributes.body
A moment that stood out to me was when the residents that were coming to collect food items were really kind and heartwarming, always kindly collecting the items without being rude. The people working at the food truck were really hospitable, welcoming us with open arms and answering all of our questions. They were really patient and attempted to teach us to the fullest.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt very happy and grateful as it was my first time doing this kind of volunteering, and seeing how simple acts of kindness like this can really make an elderly person's day, I felt what I did really had a meaning to it.Many elderlies said words of appreciation to me as well which I felt very touched and happy to give back to the community

# data[].attributes.body
Value+: I realised that even just something as simple as giving people in need groceries can brighten up their day. This experience has taught me kindness isn't doing something profound but little acts that help people in need.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the elderly surprisingly extremely good at 5 stones when they were playing. Giving out the food to the elderly as it was fun to interact with them. Helping the elderly bring the food up to their house as we were able to feel a sense of accomplishment as we were able to help them.
