COPE stands for Community Outreach Programme for the Elderly.
On the 10th Sept 2005, Saturday, I went for my 1st duty with COPE Ministry. They were having an event on that day to bring the elderlies to the Lantern Safari at Chinese Garden
. SO FUN SO FUN! Hahaha.I invited Thia along as I think she would enjoy this exposure. She did! She was having so much fun interacting with the elderlies that I was so glad to have brought her along. Hahaha. Read about her experience in her blog. :)
The elderlies always have a lot to say, to share. If you can be open enough, you can talk to them about anything under the sun! Hahaha. I just boarded the bus and greeted, "DA JIA HAO!" and every elderly on the bus just replied "HAO!!!" Hahaha.
I really enjoyed myself during the whole trip. It is not so much of the Lantern Safari itself, (Thou I also enjoyed that and took many photos. Hehehe. Catch them in my photo album!) it is the company of these elderlies that I enjoyed the most. Hahaha.
Looking forward to my next service. :)
Be Part of the TEAM!
