2011年
因為流感(H1N1)厲害,我們已經六個月沒有探訪老人院。
感謝天主保佑,香港的流感高峰期已過去,我們又可繼續把天主賜給我們的愛和老人家們分享。
事實上,我們的探訪活動已曾多次停止,原因包括2003年的Sars、2005年的禽流感及2010年的流感。
我們即使願意做些少善事,但機會不一定常常有。
正如依撒意亞先知書55章6節所說:
「趁可找到上主的時候,你們應尋找他;趁他在近處的時候,你們應呼求他。」
願意和關社小組共同探訪老人院的,請與我聯絡。

[探訪後感]
非常感謝當天多位義工的愛心奉獻,如出錢出力買老人家合用的禮物,花很多時間準備的出色遊戲及表演。連已多次參加探訪老人院的 Boniface 也說大家的積極投入令他有些感動。

Honestly speaking I believe it is hard to give real hope to elderly at their age, but we definitely can give them warmth, comfort, caring and God's blessings. One of the old woman told us she is a christian too and once in the past, a preacher delivered her 'Çhrist body' . it gives me an idea which I may help the others in this way when I get older :)
Overall, this is a very meaningful event. The kids gave them young spirit feel, and the exercise dance is the best to me :)
-------------------------------------------------
We think the elderly have had a good time and they all seem to like the towels we gave them.
The other volunteers we spoke to seemed to be happy too sharing the work.
We are grateful to have such an opportunity to serve others. We look forward to the next visit.
