UN Sustainable Development Goals
According to a survey, about 10% of elderly in Hong Kong show signs of depression and those who do not join group activities are generally more depressed. Volunteers held a life education workshop, leading games and a campus tour for the elderly. Through the project, it is hoped to raise attention towards elderly mental health conditions and show our love.

活動比想像中有趣，老友記們很容易相處，對生死的看法很開放、豁達。在工作坊中亦學習到不少，如喪禮的習俗、過程，能引人反思生命的意義和死亡。參觀科大時發現老友記對校園充滿興趣、在我眼中平凡的校園對他們來說很新奇。總括而言，這是一次有意義與價值的服務。

對生死又有不一樣的看法，很驚訝老友記們會對死亡有一個如此開放的態度。老友記亦很願意分享自己的往事和經歷。不論是開心還是傷心。他們亦很關心年輕一代，給予了我不同的囑咐。很高興能參與是次活動，給了我一個不一樣的星期天。實在獲益良多，感概萬分！
