OBSTACLES AND CHALLENGES

One major challenge is that the whole team was lack of experience in communicating with the elderly, not only without the skills, in some cases without the language. But eventually, by mixing with them, we manage to understand sincerity and patience is the key. We persevered on and did more homework on the hokkien language. 

Besides this year, the H1N1 flu had greatly disrupted how team’s progress. Hokkien Huay Guan didn’t held the hokkien lesson after March due to the flu. Hence, we have to find out from other sources ourselves. Also, we couldn’t meet up face to face which create some miscommunications and delays of deadline. But we managed to cherish the time we have together to get things done efficiently. The jobs delegated were still completed.
