PIO, Grade 10 Care Quest Club

On Saturday, May 29, 2010, the Care Quest club  Grade 10 went to Nakhonprathom for our fieldtrip to the elder’s house. First we gathered at Ekamai International School at 7.30 a.m. and departure about 8 a.m. It took us about one and a half hour the reach the place.  Every member help in unloading the things we were going to donate to the elderly.  We were given a short orientation by  the staff how to behave and communicate in a proper way with the elderly people.

The fun part was when we started the program.there was a part in which we danced with the elderly.  After playing games and dancing with them, we served them with noodles and we gave them our presents too. While they were having their lunch, some of us opened a karaoke time, we sang the Thai country songs and danced to the rhythm. We saw most of the elderly were having a good time. Around 12.30 we left the place.  From this fieldtrip, we  learned that we should not abandoned our parents when they get older.
