Volunteers guided elderly participants through the vibrant campus, showcasing essential facilities and the beautiful scenery. Along the way, they shared their experiences of university life, fostering engaging conversations about education and personal growth. The volunteers also took time to listen to the stories and experiences of the elderly, enriching the interactions with mutual understanding and empathy.

This initiative not only brightened the day for the elderly participants but also strengthened intergenerational connections. Many volunteers expressed how fulfilling it was to engage with the elderly, gaining valuable perspectives on life and learning.
