I Can Do It …
Mdm Tje , a stroke survivor , came to know about
Hannah Seniors Activity Centre ( SAC ) through her social worker . She started joining us for the morning exercises on 15 June 2016 . She has been attending the morning exercises regularly and got to make a friend , Mdm Lim Mui , another regular attendee .
Prior to coming to the SAC , Mdm Tje does not like going out due to her condition . She shared that she likes the exercises and it has helped to improve her motor skills . She feels stronger and more confident . She even mentioned that she likes to come to Hannah SAC as she can talk to many people and do the exercises together with a lot of people .

My Mother ’ s Transformation
I
’ ve decided to write down my mother ’ s transformation , as a testimony of God ’ s goodness . Thank you all , the pastor and staff of Presbyterian Elder Care @ Potong Pasir .
My mother Yak Ah Nee , has been attending Presbyterian Elder Care @ Potong Pasir since mid 2015 . She is diagnosed with dementia and is sometimes given to temper tantrums . For many years before attending the Elder Care , her solace would be just to sleep and eat , and lament about the meaninglessness of life . She was neither interested to interact with others , nor learn anything .
In November 2015 , she gave her life to Jesus and was baptized by a pastor .
On this visit back , I ’ ve noticed a marked change in her . She has been totally transformed . She seldom naps in the afternoon , is interested in learning the

different activities at the centre and likes to socialize with the other seniors . She even said ‘ no ’ to durian , and told me it was bad for her blood sugar level . Durian is her number one favourite food . She does not throw temper tantrums anymore . She is the happiest I ’ ve seen her in decades and looks forward to going to the centre .
I realize God has lifted her out of depression , through the dedicated and loving staff at the centre . Thank you for showing God ’ s love in very tangible ways .
