Volunteers visiting elderly homes

Partnering with Haven of Hope Bradbury King Lam Community Health Development Centre, we arranged three services in this academic year to support elderly individuals living alone. Volunteers spent time engaging with the elders, listening to their life stories and distributing fresh groceries to meet their practical needs.

While delivering groceries and sharing stories, volunteers were inspired by the elders' resilience—their genuine smiles made every moment meaningful. These simple exchanges created warm connections that enriched both generations.
