This project aimed at gathering a group of passionate student volunteers to serve the elders who were isolated in the Tseung Kwan O community. A couple of volunteers were matched with two elderly families and visited the families monthly. During the half a year, students not only showed their care to the senior citizens, but they also built a close and trustful relationship with them. After the service, students had a better understanding of the need of the elders and gained some skills in communicating with them.
