Description
It seems helping an old lady paint her door is trivial. But when I actually painted the door and noticed that the old lady moved slowly and with difficulty I realized that this is really meaningful and helpful for them. This 'trivial' job is actually tough for them. I hope more people join the service and contribute their kindness.

這個服務是去到祖堯邨，一個很多長者居住的公共屋邨，為邨內長者家油漆鐵閘。在活動開始之前，機構有介紹他們的理念，是希望令長者可以在獨居下都能有好的生活素質，而不需要到老人院生活。我想，在香港這個人口老化的社會，我們很需要多一點這類型的機構去服務長者。
