post vist reflection

What were the problems our group had encountered during the visit and how those problems are being resolved?

During the visit to the Old Folks Home, our group members were worried about having difficulty in communicating with the elderly as people of the older generation often speak dialects that we do not understand. Furthermore, we are going to a Muslim home but none of our group members speaks Malay. Fortunately, the person-in-charge of the home introduced us to those elderly who speaks good English and our worries were cleared.

Another problem we faced was getting a common date for the visit. Our group members are quite busy and we are available at different time, but we still manage find a common date to complete our CIP work. A minor problem that most groups would encounter would be cooperating with the group members. Our group members had different opinions in doing the work but were resolved quickly after a short discussion.

Through this CIP project, we have learned that having a family is important in our life as they can provide as a support for oneself. Although the elderly are well taken care of in the elderly homes, they still miss their family. We should always cherish our family and spend time with them. Four of us have managed to work with each other and cooperate well despite there were some minor problems that were resolved.

Before this CIP project, we have never work with each other. Hence we were not very close and do not understand each other a lot. Through this project, we get to know our classmates better and work well together to complete our task. We think that we would work better if we have a chance to work in this group again.

The visit to the Old Folks Home was really an enjoyable and memorable CIP that the school had organised for us.
