On April 30, 2009, I went to old people’s home to do 10 hours’ volunteer work, I had my grandparents, and I liked to talk to them, so I thought I could work well at old people’s home. This time I still worked with Nelly.
When Nelly and I arrived at old people’s home, the leader arranged us to take care of old people of the second floor, when we stood on the second floor, we saw an old woman sitting on the wheelchair, she was hard to move. We looked at each other, we both wanted to help her, but we were shy to do this, it was my first time to work at the old people’s home, I still felt a little bit nervous even though the old people all looked kind. But finally, we walked to the old woman, because the old woman was too helpless, we felt pitiful about her. We introduced ourselves to the old woman, and then we helped her to move, we talked to her and enjoyed the sunshine at the same time, we kept smiling the whole way. By talking to the old woman, we knew about her life, she was tragic, her son seldom visited her, she felt lonely for staying at old people’s home. So Nelly and I told jokes to her, we sang songs for the old woman, we chat with each other, we just hoped the old woman would not feel painful because of loneliness. When we saw her smiling, we both felt relaxed, too! We were happy to help the old woman.
After sending the old woman to her bedroom, we continue to work, we found there were many old people like the old woman, and they all needed care, so we talked to them, we told them something interesting happened at our school, we tried our best to answer their questions, some of them were too old to move, they were look forward to seeing the view outside, so Nelly and I used cell phone to take photos of the scenes around the old people’s home, we showed these photos to the old people, they were very satisfied. We helped them to sun clothes, clean the bedrooms, we also played games with the old people; they all enjoyed the time with us. We didn’t feel tired at all, because we helped many old people.
By working for the old people, I think we should care more about old people, we should not leave them at the old people’s home, they don’t want money, they don’t want a good environment to live, they just want attention, they hope that they can see their children’s faces every day. Before doing the volunteer, I cannot know about my grandparents’ feelings, but now, I know that if I refuse to talk to them, they will be lonely and sad, because they love me deeply and they need me. However, when you chat with old people, you need to pay attention to the skills, they are too old to hear you clearly, so you should be patient, if you don’t want to repeat your words, and they will be hurt by you. I think if we pay more attention to the old people, the sadness and loneliness will be less and less.
