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.
“ The King will reply,‘ Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’- Matthew 25: 40
