Elder Academy – Graduation Ceremony

Bernice Cheng Cheuk Lam (5B)

The graduation ceremony of the Elderly
Academy programme, which was held at
the Eastern Community Green Station
on 7 July 2018, was a touching event.
Although the weather of that day was
quite sultry, many elderly people and
kids still showed up. What I remembered
most were performances given by the
elderly. When they sang pop songs,
all audience, young and old, were
extremely high-spirited.

On site the graduation ceremony
of Elder Academy, different booths
with handicraft works were set
up, which reminded us of the
importance of being eco-friendly
in our daily life. Participants could
make their own potted plants in one
of our booths and brought them
home. Also, we folded recycled
magazine paper into pinwheels and
used expired medicated oil to print
patterns on paper. Besides making
good use of wasted materials,
participants were able to know
more about how to reduce waste at
home. After finishing two handicraft
works, they received handmade
cookies and canned congee as gifts. It was an invaluable experience as we learnt together with the elderly the importance of
leading a green life and how it can be carried out.
To go GREEN, everyone can play a part.

I also helped with the pot-planting booth at the graduation ceremony of the Elder Academy project. What was special to me was
that I had to pair up with some primary school students to work together in this activity. Pairing up with the primary student was
a great experience for me. They were so cute and creative. I also felt pleased when I saw their smiling faces. Life is so beautiful
when there are lovely angels around.
