Our Outreach Angels pay home visits and deliver hot meal boxes to elderlies who are unable to leave home, but they do more than just that. They don't wear trench coats but Food Angel’s signature pink tee, yet they have the ability to solve mysteries like Sherlock Holmes. The mysterious case this time is Grandma Ng’s missing set of dentures.
Grandma Ng is 82 years old and lives alone, and she speaks a special Chinese dialect- Hokkien. She woke up one morning and realized she had lost her pair of false teeth! Because of this unfortunate event, Grandma Ng had trouble eating and sleeping as she was worried sick, and the delivered meal box on the previous day remained untouched. Our Outreach Angel Ah C, who speaks Hokkien too, decided to take up the challenge and solve the mystery.
After a series of detective work at Grandma Ng’s flat, Ah C eventually discovered the pair of naughty teeth hiding deep in the trench between the bed and the wall! Hooray! Grandma Ng then grinned widely with her pair of prodigal teeth, and finished the entire delivered meal box with great appetite. Phew, what a relief!
