Bird Paradise Tour with Raffles Hotel Singapore
On 17 July, a team of volunteers from
Raffles Hotel Singapore brought our Eden
Centre for Adults (Hougang) clients to the
newly opened Bird Paradise. Despite the
uncertain weather, it did not dampen the
enthusiasm and excitement the volunteers
had for this outing.
Lunch at A&W Restaurant.
Upon arriving at Bird Paradise, the first
thing we did was to have lunch at the A&W
restaurant. After which, we embarked on a
tour of the park. The clients and volunteers
took a tram ride to the amphitheater to
catch a spectacular bird show and also got
to see some flamingos and penguins at the
park and aquarium.
Along the way, our clients and their
volunteer companions interacted with
one another as they enjoyed each other’s
company and the day out. Though there
was a passing cloud, we took shelter at the
rest areas and were back in the open again
in no time.

Our sincere thanks go out to the Management and staff of Raffles Hotel Singapore for being an active partner with us all these years.
Despite their busy schedules, the team made time to embrace our clients with their generous hearts. This was seen and demonstrated
through their time with our clients, becoming friends for the day and adding vibrant colours to their lives.
Let’s get on a tram ride to our next destination.
