HCA Hospice Care

WELCOME TO THE STUDENT & YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMME

COMMUNITY SERVICE/CIP

STEP UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Does it all stop at knowledge? Is there more? Check out the pics and you’ll see for yourself what your peers are doing! They’ve stepped up!
Yes, these students didn’t just stop at simply hearing what HCA Hospice Care had to say. They came. They toiled. They played. They danced. They made our patients’ day.
And no, they didn’t only just come. They moved out! Back to their families, their friends, their schools. They shared with other youth/students what being alive really means, what a touch of love is!
And that’s what the next level of the Student/Youth Education programme is all about!

WILL YOU STEP UP?
HCA Hospice Care welcomes students who, on their own accord, step up to volunteer. Have you heard how our Wednesdays and Thursdays liven up a hundredfold when student groups come in and play? Do you know how many youths take time off their schedules after school once a week to volunteer at HCA?
What about you? Will you come? Will the whole class visit and perform?

STEP UP SEP PROJECTS

“aLife With You”

Project “aLife With You” seeks the engagement of HCA Hospice Care patients in various activities. Pictures symbolizing hope are coloured by HCA Hospice Care patients and reproduced into a bookmark.

WHEN’S YOUR TURN?
Check out our calendar to see when is the next date to jam! Plan an afternoon programme for our patients, and judge for yourself the satisfaction you attain when you and your group bring smiles and laughter across the whole room!
