Before the project, i was looking forward for the visit as i always wanted to go there. When Mr Goh told us that we are going there i felt very excited, but my impession of the mental patients is terrible, i used to think they must be really insane, but after the project my view for the mental patients changed. I realised that they are like normal person, nothing different. I was also asked to be the leader for this telematch group, it was also my first time being a 'leader' so i felt very nervous. I am also inexperience but i tried my best to be a good leader, our group was also very cooporative. The event that change my mind during that project is actually the part when we were playing the games at the basketball court. We had lots of fun. we communicated well with the patients and played together. If we were to go again, we will oraganise those game again and some new game, such as captain's ball. We will also improve on the games in such a way to make the patients feel they are enjoying the games. During this activity, i found out that Rayner communicated well with the patient, he was rather different from what he behave in class. He talks to the patients and doesnt make them felt lonely.I think benefiting the community through your project and learning new things for ourself is important. I think it benefiting the community is important as we bring laugher and joy with them and make them feel actually there are people that concern and care about them. I think through this project, it had also benefited me as i learned things that we cannot buy and those communicate skills we learnt is priceless. It also taught me to be a more caring person. I think benefiting us is more important. I enjoyed myself playing with those patients. I would also share with my family and friends about this.
