About this Opportunity
Description: Many of Hong Kong's citizens continue to suffer from the ongoing needs within the community. 1 in 5 of our citizens are living in poverty, surviving on less than HK$4,400 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.
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。
