As part of Me2’s commitment to empowering persons with disabilities through practical, real-life learning, our team recently brought clients from SUNDAC Chua Chu Kang on an educational outing to Watsons. This visit was a key component of our Personal Hygiene module, designed to help participants strengthen daily living skills, build independence, and grow confidence in navigating the community.
During the outing, clients practised identifying common hygiene products such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, and sanitary items. They learned how to recognise labels, and make simple purchasing decisions, skills that are essential for personal wellbeing and everyday functioning.
Our trainers also guided learners through social and community interactions: walking safely in the mall, understanding store etiquette, seeking assistance from staff, and handling items appropriately. These experiences help participants transfer what they learn in the classroom to real world environments, making their learning meaningful and relevant.
Beyond product recognition, the outing offered clients a safe space to practise money handling, including choosing items within a budget and counting change at the cashier. This not only builds financial literacy but also reinforces confidence when interacting with frontline staff, an important step toward functioning independently in public settings.
Seeing the products in a real store helped them better understand why hygiene matters and when to use each item. They were encouraged to ask questions, explore different options, and think about their own daily habits, making the learning deeply personal and practical.
The visit to Watsons was not just about buying hygiene products, it was about building dignity, nurturing independence, and showing participants that they can confidently care for themselves in the community. At Me2, we firmly believe that every learning journey should open doors, strengthen self esteem, and encourage individuals to take the next step forward with pride.
