| Life Rejuvenation Scheme 2010 - Fond Memento (17 April and 15 May 2010)
The Life Rejuvenation Scheme 2010 - Fond Memento is launched by NWS Volunteer Alliance in conjunction with Senior Citizen Home Safety Association. On 17 April 2010, 32 volunteers visited the elderly participants in the scheme. Both volunteers and the elderly participants were excited about their meeting for the first time since the telephone calls service started in February 2010. Volunteers took the opportunity to take pictures for the elderly. Cyber Senior volunteers also showed the participants the digital photos just taken.
On 15 May 2010, about 50 members from NWS Volunteer Alliance were joined by elderly participants on an outing to Tai Po, during which they visited the Hong Kong Railway Museum in Tai Po and enjoyed a vegetarian lunch together. A participant sent a letter to thank NWS Volunteer Alliance for organizing the outing. |

Under the Life Rejuvenation Scheme 2010 - Fond Memento launched by NWS Volunteer Alliance in conjunction with Senior Citizen Home Safety Association ("SCHSA"), the volunteers make regular phone calls, home visits, organize gatherings, outings and take photos for the elderly participants.
To enhance their communication skills with the elderly, 24 volunteers from NWS Volunteer Alliance attended a communication workshop and visited the E Online Chuk Yuen Centre of SCHSA to understand more about its services. Since February 2010, volunteers have also started to make monthly phone calls to the elderly to check in on them regularly. |
