First visit!

First volunteering trip since I entered Uni. To briefly summarise the visit, I was grouped together with KahSuan and Pong. We brought him out and spent most of the time interacting with him at the coffeeshop. My group mates were able to converse in the dialect so the session could go well.

What this whole experience exposed me to, is the need to be sensitive and gentle in the approach, yet not letting it stiffen the atmosphere- which to me is a skill requiring careful threading between boundaries.

But on overall, it is def great to provide an Elderly some company on a sat morning, albeit the elderly and us being in different stages of life.
