2ndNov11-KCLC

The SMC group will be laughing with the elderly in Kheng Chiu Loke Tin Kee Home once a month, thanks to Doris-CLYL for making the connection with Amy.

 

KCL has a very great Mission : To  provide shelter and care to the ambulant and fairly frail elderly in communal living independently, regardless of race, language and religion.  http://www.kchl.sg/aboutus.htm

 

Anyone keen to join the laughing group, please connect with Suzanne via sschew@singnet.com.sg  

Smiling and laughing are universally considered to be signals that show a person is happy and we can feel it among the KCHL's elderly. We hope this Irish proverb will help bring more priceless joy to everyone staying and working in KCHL :  A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.
