and another one in the east coast

Me and a few more group members of Max Family just came back from east coast yesterday for another patient's workshop. It took place in HUSM (the university hospital) like where we did last year.

The crowd was a bit smaller than KL workshop and a bit cold especially the initial response. I thought may be language and dialect was the barrier. Towards the middle of the event, things got more comfortable and patients and their caregivers started to get more responsive and lots of people were touched during a session where everyone of them introduce themselves and share their story. I think anybody can express themselves when they are given a chance to do so. I did chat with a few elderly patients (whom usually speak in a very thick dialect) but to my surprise, they were all very warm and friendly. More than half of them had attended last year event and this time they were really welcome our visit.

We ended in the late afternoon, tired but still excited with the response by the the east coast patients and they are waiting and looking forward for another event.....
