Christmas Celebration 2016

On 12/12, we celebrated Christmas in advance at the children ward, adult ward and psychiatric ward!

For the adult and psychiatric wards, we had a great time making Christmas-themed origami and playing Christmas Bingo with the patients:

As for the children ward, the children and the volunteers had fun making reindeer hats and decorating baubles which were super engaging. Also, Santa Claus came early this year giving Christmas gifts to the well-behaved children of NUH!

And, what's a christmas celebration without Christmas carolling? Special thanks to SHacapella, an awesome family of passionate vocalists from NUS Sheares Hall!

Look at their adorable reindeer ears!

Their angelic voices definitely gave off great Christmas vibes and brought smiles to the NUH patients, staff and volunteers.

Finally, a big thank you to our dear (deer) volunteers!

In this season of gifting and giving, we should not forget to give thanks to those whom we love and those who love us. Let's all show our appreciation and care for our loved ones!

Our Times with the Volunteers

What better way to kickstart the new semester of volunteering than an orientation filled with fun games and opportunities to make new friends?

Yesterday, we had our first date with our NVAC@NUH volunteers. Forget the typical ice-breaking games, we had an extremely fun time playing Magic Word and Human Bingo as we get to know more about each another.

Magic Word

Us trying to trick one another into saying their own magic word 

Human Bingo

Our volunteers mingling with one another to find people that fit into the descriptions stated in their bingo sheet.

The winner gets to indulge in the delicious Twelve Cupcakes prizes!

And yay to our very first group photo!

Thereafter, we went to NUH to familiarise ourselves with the directions to our various wards and clinics.

We are really glad that the volunteers hit it off well and we even went for group lunch together! The bond forged would defintely allow us to spread the fun and liveliness to the patients of NUH. 

Thanks for coming down this Saturday guys. And here's to more fun and meaningful volunteering time with all of you!

A big Thank You to all our lovely volunteers!

THANK YOU for being such great volunteers for the entire semester.

Hope you guys had a wonderful time interacting with the patients and making friends with your volunteer buddies:)

Enjoy the break and hope to see you guys in the new semester of volunteering:)

Lots of Love from the NVAC@NUH committee

Hope you guys had a great time!
