As a new volunteer, I have only been in RSPVH for 1 year and this is my first time attending and also aid in the planning of VH Anniversary event. It was held at Changi Beach Park on 3rd August 2014. I learnt from seniors that this event aims to celebrate the achievements of RSPVH through fun and engaging activities. This year, we had some games and a BBQ session. This event is really eye opening to me because I always thought our events are focused on our beneficiaries but then I learnt that acknowledging the hard work of each and every one of our VH volunteers, past and present, is also important so that they will be encouraged to do more and better. Participants include current volunteers, our beloved seniors and of course not forgetting our beneficiaries.
For starters, bene(s)=beneficiary(ies)
First stop-GAMES!
1 bene is attached to a blindfolded senior and is tasked to guide this senior through a simple maze and on the way, complete a number of stations. At each station, the bene is to answer riddles of different disciplines like math, science, general knowledge or even questions about movie titles! The senior attached is only to assist the bene in answering the questions. Once all the stations are completed, the game ends. Both parties had an enjoyable time.
Next stop-BBQ food galore!
The benes were settled down as some of the volunteers get busy to prepare the food. After a tini wini bit of waiting, food is served! Everyone had a great time eating and chatting as the dusk slowly sets in.
Good food + Great people = Awesome time
Last stop-closure.
Here, prizes were given to recognize and congratulate volunteers who have made outstanding achievements to RSPVH. Definitely not forgetting the speech made by our awesome Chairperson.
At around 7 pm, the benes were sent home.
Always remember that keeping the environment clean is everyone's duty! Me and my peers cleaned up the pit area and headed home.
Although it was a tiring day, it is also a rewarding day. Here is wishing RSPVH leaping to greater heights!
