AGEING AND CO-OPERATION TO THE DEVELOPMENT
By
: CRE/CR HONG KONG/CR MONGOLIA A
volunteers team A
real team formed by 300 uniformed volunteers, with the mission of helping
other people, are part of the Red Cross, Hong Kong. After taking training
courses, these elderly people take care of other dependent people with the
aim of improving living standard. For the volunteers, this work is a way
of being active, socially useful; for the benefited, the priceless help of
company, home services or even a reminder that they should take care and
follow their medical treatment. It
is, in fact, in a hospital of Hong Kong where these uniform teams have a
great acceptance. In these big health structures, it is easy to be
confused. The teams provide a link and a source of information.
