Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is an important traditional festival in China. Every Lantern Festival, every household will cook and eat dumplings. The appearance of dumplings is round, which means that every family is round and sweet. In order to let the old people feel the festive atmosphere and the warm care of the society. On the morning of February 25th, Wuchuan Chuangwen Office and Municipal Civilization Office led more than 20 volunteers, including Tianzhu Huiai Service Team and Tianzhu Life Care Team, to come to Wuchuan Shallow Water Nursing Home to carry out the "Our Festival Lantern Festival" volunteer service activity with the theme of "Cooking glutinous rice balls together to celebrate Lantern Festival" and spend the happy and peaceful Lantern Festival with the elderly in the nursing home.
Accompanied by the resident manager of the nursing home, the condolence team delivered solatium and condolences warmly sponsored by Liang Yaozhong, general manager of Zhanjiang Xipai Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd. to the elders.
Volunteers make dumplings and cook them with the elders in the nursing home. The usual silence and long-term loneliness have been broken. From time to time, people burst into laughter and applause, so that they can personally experience the warmth and care given by volunteer service during the Lantern Festival and live a warm and peaceful festival.
Vigorously carrying out voluntary activities is an important embodiment of the progress of contemporary social civilization, the focus of creative work, and the unshirkable responsibility of contemporary youth. Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Volunteer service is like flying spring poems, driving away the loneliness of the elderly, like flying Haruka, retaining the joy of the elderly.
Chen Rong, member of the Standing Committee of Wuchuan Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department, appealed to the society: "I hope more people can participate in volunteer service activities, provide more care for the elderly who are lonely, and let the elderly have a sense of security, hope and happiness, so that the concept of volunteering can be widely popularized and the spirit of volunteerism can be vigorously promoted."
