Salt Bottle Making - U Coming??

Hi all,

Last Saturday, we had a well-deserved learning experience from Lawrence on Hypertension. Hopefully, we are able to bring home those key takeways. =)

This Saturday we will be asking the residents to join us together to make salt bottle..

Yah you heard us correctly..make salt bottle...This is to promote hand-eye coordination for them..the following actions are required and we as volunteers can help to assist, join in the fun or alternatively act like "promoter" to encourage residents to participate...

As part of "promotion", we will be distributing medicated plasters for this month participants who managed to complete a bottle.

How to?? (A rough guide, IC: Shao Rong & Jack will explain -)

Logistics: Bottle, Table Salt, Colored Chalk, Plates, Paper (fold to make it act as filter) & Disposable Gloves

1) Place a small amount of salt on the plate (The amount will depend on usuage)

2) Wearing the gloves, roll a colored chalk on top of the salt to & fro. (You may encourage the residents to use palm for rolling action) Repeat for different color.

3) With the colored salt, pour it into the bottle varying with the color to form different designs. Note: the salt need to be packed firmly otherwise the design will be "distorted" upon shaking.

So are you ready for this??

On an ending note...volunteering or assistance to others is not only @ SILRA, it goes beyond to helping those who are around you within your means..

The small act of giving a balloon to a young girl next to Auntie Mui Kee whom you may not know her name. I'm sure it have brighten her day with all the big needles inserted to her body... pat on your shoulder.. (you know who lor)
