Elderly home visit - Mid-Autumn
By Ir Dr Victor C M WONG
The Mid-Autumn
Festival is a traditional Chinese festival for families to gather together. On
this meaningful day, our members from the LT Division spent their time on
Sunday (17 Sep 2017) to share the happiness of the festival with needy elderly.
At first, our members sent “fortune bags” with festival greetings to elderly
people living on their own in the Tuen Mun District. With the support of Well
Family, a non-governmental organization, all volunteers also took the “fortune
bags” to around 120 elderly people over the weekend before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Volunteers tried to understand the living conditions of the elderly and any
special needs they might have to feed back to Well Family for them to follow
up. Throughout the visits both volunteers and their kids enjoyed the warm
experience of showing their love to the gentle elderly folk.
