I am glad I can join the volunteer at school :)
On the Easter holiday, I went to St. Joseph's Home for the Aged
with Katso(天主教同學會),
and I'm the one of the secretary in Kasto, so I need to prepare some games to
play with the elderly.
Firstly, we went back to school at 1:00P.M, then we take recall,
some of the people were late, so we need to wait them until at 1:30P.M.After
that, we took around one hours sight seeing bus to Sheung
Shui.
When we arrived home
for the aged, I saw the home for the aged is so big, I never seen the home for the aged as like as a hotel. The building were so luxury and I hope I can live in it when I am old !!! hehe :D
Our first game is about the ball,
the ball will past all the people when the music run when the music stop who
was holding the ball must answer the question which we ask.
After we playing that, we sung
some old songs and give them estimate who sung those songs and what are the
name of these songs. We make some balloons such as, flowers, dogs, bear etc to
give them of gift. Then we invited Choir to sing some songs, I saw some of the
elderly sung together!!!!
Finishing playing all the game,
teacher told us talk together with elderly, and
let them not so bored. Formerly, talk
with elderly must pay some attention. Let me talk about this.
The face of the elderly we must be nice, keep smile on face, that can give elderly
feel more gentleness. Don’t let elderly looked up and talk to yourself, bent down and should be
close conversation with the elderly, they will feel
valued, you must
have eye contact, avoid referring
to the family and the sad things of
the elderly and should talk about my current situation,
speak relatively slow speed, the
sound loud.
Volunteering means spending some
of your free time helping others. You may volunteer to help other people, such
as the families who lost their homes after a natural disaster. But you can also
volunteer to protect animals, the environment, or any other cause that you care
about. I love do volunteer,
because I think do volunteer can help many people, and also
lets me see my own life in new ways.
