My Summer time work at an Old Folks' Home
Since summer I have volunteered at an old folk’s home because I saw how lonely some of the residents were. I volunteered two days a week during the summer, which I have continued. I have learned many things about nursing homes.
During my volunteer time at the old folks’ home, I have taken old folks for walk and read them letters from their children. We also have birthday parties and exercise days.
I have had many good experiences volunteering at the old folks home. My volunteer experience has shown me that I can bring joy to older people. Everyone will have to face having parents and grandparents growing older and becoming dependent on their children. Dealing with this situation has made me a stronger and more caring person.
