Recently, volunteers from a non-profit organisation, the metropollitan YMCA together with Singtel and the Polytechnic Graduates Guild did a job worth relating.
The group help to clean up a spider and bug infested one room flat occupied by a lonely dementia / parkinson elderly. The volunteers in various professions spent nine hours, scrubbing, painting / white washing and refurbishing his home.
The end result ? A happy and beaming old man said," he can now sleep peacefully in a clean and hygienic room, free of dirt, foul smell with thousands of bed bugs.
Inspite of heavy schedule and family responsibilities, it is gratifying to note, some Singaporeans are still willing to help upgrade our unfortunate fellow Singaporeans.
