Volunteer Stories

Hear from Our Volunteers

"When we invite other volunteers to work with us, they can see that our friends are very lively, out-going and lovable. They'll hug you when they see you and tell you all about their day. They treat everyone equally and are content with what we bring them. Nothing fancy, no need for deep pockets, just a pure heart to offer.

 

It's been 10 years and we've met so many incredible patients and inspiring volunteers, and the hospital has been nothing but supportive of our activities."

Yong Kwon Seng

"When I first started volunteering with the IMH choir back in 2018, many patients were curious about the harp. It's something very different from what they're used to. To our amusement, they even said, 'That's the Guinness Stout logo!'

 

Any new instrument that I bring in bridges the communication gap between me and the patients, and we carry on conversations from there."
