On 22 September, CDL Group Chief Operating Officer Mr Kwek Eik Sheng, CDL Group General Manager Mr Chia Ngiang Hong and City Sunshine Club President Ms Foo Chui Mui led about 20 staff volunteers to celebrate the joy of Mid-Autumn Festival.

City Sunshine Club (CSC) is CDL’s employee volunteer arm and a longstanding partner of Assisi Hospice. CSC has been organising the annual Mid-Autumn Festival celebration with the Hospice since 2008, where CDL management and CSC volunteers spread warmth and joy to patients with the distribution of Hua Ting mooncakes and lanterns and various activities planned for the evening.

Daycare patients had an engaging hands-on experience in soap-making before they feasted on the buffet spread with menu lovingly selected by the nursing team of Assisi Hospice.

Despite the light rain that evening, everyone remained high-spirited. Volunteers together with patients and their loved ones, gathered round the courtyard to soak in the atmosphere and enjoyed the refreshing renditions of familiar evergreen tunes by The TENG Ensemble.

The cute rabbit lanterns which were sponsored by CDL lighted up the courtyard in a myriad of colours that enhanced the festive mood in Assisi Hospice.  Patients were seen taking pictures in the lighted courtyard to seal a memorable mid-autumn celebration with their loved ones.
