The thoughtful formation of each volunteer team with a good mix of community members has truly demonstrated the spirit of love and unity, as well as communal harmony between the abled and disabled.
To express its gratitude toward volunteers, Hopewell purchased some exquisite velvet pins handmade by St. James’ members as presents. Representatives from St. James also briefed through the cases with the team prior to the visits, which enabled volunteers to conduct better communication with the elderly and at the same time identify their needs.
