On 31st August 2014, Leo volunteers served lunch at Lions Befrienders (Ghim Moh), played games with the residents and taught them some interesting art and craft revolving around the theme of mid-autumn festival!

It was Leo Esther's first time being the emcee cum organiser for the entire event, so lets hear from her first-hand experience!
This is my first time organizing a mid autumn event for the elderly. It was a fun experience as you get to learn about their interests throughout the event. The most impactful activity was the activity on folding of origami rabbits as it was not easy for myself, all the more so for the elderly to follow suit! However they were very patient and enthusiastic to learn and follow us step by step. They deserved a clap! :D And I believe they have enjoyed the Sunday lunch as much as we, volunteers did. We hope to bring them more enjoyable activities in the future!:)
