On November 30, 2019, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) Humanitarian Care Team went to New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home to conduct volunteering project between 12:30 pm and 4:30 pm.
It is the holiday season. Although the temperature is low, it fills the bright sunshine with a festive atmosphere. GPA Team members went to the Memorial Home with some gifts and thanks cards to the veterans. They walked around the four wings of the residents’ room and TV room, talking with the seniors about the news about the holiday, listening to them carefully and sharing the happiness of life.
GPA members then transported the seniors to the town square, attending a music party. To the rhythm of music, they swung arms with the seniors and danced together. The seniors had a great time with volunteers’ love and care. They expressed gratitude to volunteers’ dedication. Finally, GPA members transported the seniors back, respectively. Serving the community and being grateful to society make the GPA team grow and happy.
Participants (4 hours): Angela Bao and Xin Chen
