Reported by Adora Xiao :
On January 12, 2025, Murrieta AYLUS volunteered at local senior centers.
Quickly getting to work, the volunteers split up to lead the residents through exercises and prepare snacks. As they demonstrated yoga and strengthening techniques, the others cut bananas and made whipped cream treats. They also went to visit various residents and convince them to stop by the activities room. After the exercise, the volunteers passed out snacks and fed the residents that were unable, before thickening juice and handing out cups of water and cranberry juice. Clearing away the utensils, they visited a few more scattered residents before starting on the hand massages of the day, taking lotion and rubbing out soreness and muscles. They played with blocks with those that were nonverbal, making mini Jenga games and motor activities. Afterwards, the residents were taken to lunch.
