Returning to the Burma Children Medical Fund B.K. Kee Patient House in January was a delightful experience, filled with smiles and joy as we reunited with the familiar faces after nearly two months away.
January marked two simple yet meaningful visits to the house, with our regular gatherings on the 14th and 28th. On the first visit, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as we engaged in a lively game of Bingo. The room echoed with laughter and team spirit as ten patients and five caregivers joined the festivities.
Rotarians Gordana Nardini, Raphael Djemal, and former CMIRC members Jerry Nelson and Maliwan, added a special touch to the gathering. Discussions with the new staff member, Bee, and plans for the upcoming year with Klao left us eager for what lies ahead. I am optimistic that our long-awaited paint project for the House's exterior will come to fruition soon.
During our second visit, we introduced a new activity, B.K. Kee’s Got Talent. The program showcased the remarkable talents of the patients, with some displaying exceptional singing and guitar-playing skills. The patient count has increased to seventeen, accompanied by seven caregivers, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Each performance was met with cheers and applause, and the event extended for an additional hour due to the sheer enjoyment everyone experienced.
One standout performer was a young boy who radiated energy and curiosity. His swift ball passes and joyful dancing lit up the event. Capturing these precious moments, I took numerous photos and short videos to immortalize the talent on display. A particularly memorable moment was a video of the young boy dancing with both his parents, exuding pure joy and creating a heartwarming scene that will be cherished for years to come.
As we navigate the new year, the B.K. Kee Patient House continues to be a source of inspiration and joy. The shared experiences and connections formed during these visits serve as a reminder of the positive impact we can have on the lives of those in need.
