Hi Peter,
Thank you for your encouraging words. That's the idea, you read what
other people are doing and get inspired to do the same. I am so glad
you are going to do the soup in the Altersheim. Let me know how how it
goes.

Hi Judy,

Thank you for sharing this great activity.

Cheers
Solange

What a great idea Angela. An activity that maintain old skills, provide sensory stimulation and promote cognitive function such as logic and planning.

Great idea Grace, it would be lovely to add a photo of your activity for all to see. If you have one, please send it to: [email protected]

Hi Carmel,
By all means, if you have a good oil mixture recipe for massage, please send it in to be shared.There will be a few more mixtures of my own very soon on the website.Cheers

Hi Gerry,
Great idea placing the jokes on your 'pond'. You can also write the name of a song on the back of the fish and the participant will have to sing it. If too shy to do so, ask the other participants to help.
Cheers

Hi marina, Congratulations on your dedication! Learning the Ukelele
to enliven things up! Well done

Hi Rosalba, I have updated the quiz and inlcuded the answers. Cheers!

Hi Heather,
What a great way to pamper the residents!
Well done.

In response to your request, I have written a small sample of a speech in appreciation of volunteers (above). You will have to adapt it for yourself and perhaps expand a little to suit your needs. A speech of two minutes is quite adequate for this occasion. Speak slowly and clearly. When you say the names of your volunteers look them in the eyes and smile. Make sure you don't forget to mention the names of every volunteer.

Good luck!
