40 elders from Chi Po Neighbourhood Elderly Centre joined a day tour with the company of volunteers from Chevalier Group. The participants visited the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and Hong Kong Railway Museum. All the history showed brought the elders with a lot of good old memories.
After lunch, volunteers and elders learnt the “laughter yoga”, an exercise involving simple stretching and prolonged voluntary laughter. The exercise did not only cheer up the depressed elders with illness, but also helped keep those healthy ones in good mood. The volunteers also assisted the participants who were physically weak to prepare the hand-made traditional hometown Cha Guo.
The Association would like to express our thankfulness to Chevalier Group and its volunteer team for spending time with the elders who are weak and with memory loss, to encourage them to recall their life experiences, confidence and happiness.
