HKUST student volunteers participated in this activity to serve the disabled and frail elders in the Day Care Centre for the Elderly in Lei Yue Mun. The Organizing Committee designed three activities with meaningful topics, including healthy diet, brain challenge and reminiscence. During the service, the volunteers assisted the elders to participate in these activities and had fun together. In addition, the volunteers chatted with the elders to gain a better understanding of their lives.
