Students visited elderly residents at the Haven of Hope Bradbury Lam Community Centre in Hang Hau.

During the visit, students introduced the seniors to Rummikub, a fun and engaging tile-based game that stimulates cognitive skills. This interaction helped foster meaningful conversations, allowing both the students and seniors to share their personal stories. The conversations bridged generational gaps, creating a lively and warm atmosphere filled with laughter and connection.

This visit was a rewarding experience that strengthened community bonds and left everyone with cherished memories. This event not only brought joy to the seniors, but also gave the students valuable insights into the lives of the older generation, fostering empathy and mutual understanding.
