The Problem

Seniors are in isolated area during this pandemic. August 21, 2020 is national senior citizens day. We want to provide this opportunity to show our appreciation for the seniors' dedication, accomplishments, and services they give throughout their lives.

Our Plan

Invite everyone, no matter where you are, to write letter or Virtual Meet and Greet with the isolated senior. We already have people from Spain virtual greeting seniors. In addition, we have kids/teens from Nebraska of US for virtual meet and greet with isolated senior. Everyone is more than welcome join us to celebrate National Senior Citizens Day with our dear seniors.

Here is how the project went:

This went very well. We did celebrate Birthday with our dear senior in 2021. Not only for August 2020, but also for August, 2021 we celebrate National Senior Citizens Day (August 21st, 2021). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1MJbyf_GM4

Through this project I/we learned:

Together we can do it, no matter it is virtual concert, or home-made letter/cards campion, it did make a difference in our senior citizens' community.

What I/we might change:

Encourage more young volunteers nationally (try to do such event beyond Nebraska State) to join us in the near future.

My/our favorite part of this project was:

When we physically delivered B-day cards and gifts to our dear senior citizen, we surprised her and brought joy to her and her husbands. This moment is my favorite.

Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:
