Opportunity Details
Shopping with the elderly in Sham Shui Po
Generously made possible by Simon Evans.
Description: Many of Hong Kong's citizens continue to suffer from the devastating impact of the pandemic, and ongoing needs within the community. Even before COVID 1 in 5 of our citizens was living in poverty, surviving on less than HK$4,000 each month.
Weakness, coupled with tiredness, forces elderly persons to seek help from others to maintain their daily routine, such as having a walk, buying necessities, etc. Volunteers will show care and support to this vulnerable group by spending time with them in the community.
Volunteer roles:
- Volunteers will receive a short briefing upon arriving at the community centre. Volunteers will learn about how to communicate with elderly persons and how to assist them to shop in a supermarket.
- Volunteers will accompany the elderly to shop with the supermarket vouchers provided and help carry the items purchased back to their homes.
活動簡介：超過20％的人口生活在貧困中，每月靠少於4,000港元生存，他們甚至在疫情之前都在努力維持生計。 現在，由於他們許多人生活在恐懼中並且生計受到影響，這些人比以往任何時候都更加迫切需要幫忙。
身體虛弱加上疲倦，迫使長者尋求他人的幫助以維持日常生活，例如散步、購買必需品等。義工會在社區與他們共度時光，向他們表達關懷和支持。
