The S.K.H. Wong Tai Sin District Elderly Community Centre launched the “Precious Moment in Family with Love” project, which aims to document touching life stories of families that required caregiving for the elderly, help subjects of the documentaries look back on the hurdles they have overcome and rediscover their passion and strength for caregiving, and at the same time, to encourage readers reflect on domestic caregiving as well as promote mutual assistance and love in the community.
With the sponsorship of Koo Tin Lok Charitable Foundation, the centre arranged for volunteers to pen the experiences of 10 families in a book and published it last month. On 14th May, the Wong Tai Sin District Elderly Community Centre organised a get-together for interviewees and volunteers, where Ms Micy Lui, District Social Welfare Officer (Wong Tai Sin/Sai Kung) of the Social Welfare Department, and Director of Koo Tin Lok Charitable Foundation were invited to share the joyful moments.
During the event, guests gifted the short story compilations, photo frames and flowers to attendees to encourage mutual care between family members. The event also included the screening of a short film which documented the feelings of different participating families, who were also present to share their personal feelings with guests. Finally, guests sang in unison a song to conclude the event.
The “Precious Moment in Family with Love” short story compilations will be distributed to the public for free on a first-come-first-served basis. Interested persons can also get one at our centre (G/F, PG Podium Level, Wong Tai Sin Shopping Centre, Lower Wong Tai Sin (II) Estate, Kowloon).
