CIP on founder's day

Yesterday I was brought by the school to do Community Involvement Programme(CIP) at Jurong Point with elderly people. We were supposed to interact with the elderly over there and also learn more about their lives. I was grouped with a classmate to take care of an elderly called Sister Anna. She was about 73 years old. Despite her old age, she was still very lively and talkative. Firstly, we went to Mac Donald to have breakfast. Sister Anna had already eaten her breakfast, so she only wanted to have tea. So my classmate went to buy her tea while I stayed to talk to her. After having breakfast, we went to the supermarket at NTUC extra to shop. Sister Anna did not like to waste money on useless things so we window shopped. We then went back to the home and waved goodbye to the elderly people. I feel that we should not abandon our parents in a home as they would feel very lonely and bored over there.
