Having a good time enjoying the nature with the elderly

HKUST Volunteers spent a day hiking at Wu Kau Tang with a group of elderly from Shau Kei Wan District. They all enjoyed the breathtaking scenery in Yan Tong Chau Marine Park, and both the elderly and volunteers alike had a joyful Saturday together.

Description

Hiking with Elderly is a fun and enjoyable service. The weather is nice and we chat a lot with the elderly. They told us things about the old days in Hong Kong, travelling around the world and history of China and other European countries. They are also interested in the technology that the young people are using nowadays too! We can take the initiative to communicate with the elderly in the future and make friends with them!

與老人家遠足十分有意義。今天的行程雖然緊密,但在與他們的互動對話中亦有不少得著,令我對上幾代的老人家更為敬佩。同時,只要我們多付出時間關心他們,他們定必感受得到,也令社會更充滿愛與關懷。
