A Heart for Seniors: Volunteering at NTUC Health Nursing Home

 

In 2023, Keith took a significant step in his volunteering journey by organizing a program for his entire class to engage with seniors at the NTUC Health Nursing Home (Tampines). This initiative was more than just a class activity; it was a chance for Keith to connect his peers with the joy of service, fostering meaningful interactions between the students and the seniors.

 

Inspired by the positive impact of this program, Keith continued to volunteer weekly on his own, bringing tabletop games and conversation to the seniors. These regular visits became a highlight of his week, as he saw the joy and engagement these activities brought to the residents. Keith’s commitment to making a difference didn’t stop with one event; it became a routine of kindness and connection.

Favourite Memory: Project Batam 2023

 

One of Keith’s favorite memories with nEbO is Project Batam 2023. The trip allowed him to work alongside other passionate volunteers, creating lasting memories and friendships. “I’m glad to have met friends who are passionate to serve the less privileged together,” Keith shares. A standout moment for him was baking brownies to raise donations for the orphanage in Batam, an experience that combined his love for community service with creativity and teamwork.

 

Keith also appreciates the fun and engaging activities nEbO organizes for its leaders, such as tabletop games with other youth leaders, and exclusive movie screenings. These events not only provide a break from the demands of school, but also strengthen the bonds between nEbO members, making the journey even more rewarding.
