10 September 2016

Hang Seng Management College (HSMC) cooperated again with Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service to organise the elderly home visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. There was an overwhelming response to the “Mid-Autumn Festival Friendly Visit Programme 2016” recruitment initiated by the Student Affairs Office and the Communications and Public Affairs Office. Staff and students delivered their season’s warmest greetings to the elderly living in Wong Tai Sin district on 10 September 2016.

HSMC volunteers visited the elderly who live alone or with their spouse in Fu Shan Estate and other nearby estates, and delivered gift bags of moon cakes, rice and other daily necessities. The volunteers chatted with the elderly and introduced some health tips, including a set of finger exercise. The seniors were also delighted to share their life experience with the volunteers.

Through this meaningful visit, HSMC volunteers learnt more about the living conditions and special needs of the elderly. It is hoped that all participates could establish a sense of solicitude and social responsibility.
