Firstly, we aim to reach out to community/elderly centers in the villages. We hope that they will respond and be able to send several volunteers to help out and promote our activities. These have more contact with elderly persons and can better explain to them the purposes of the activities as well as to encourage them to participate. Exercise activities will be led by students or coaches. Elderly persons are more suited to participating in exercises that do not cause too much pressure on their joints and bones, such as walking, jogging, swimming, gymnastics, riding fixed bicycles, etc. Traditional Chinese culture sports such as Tai Chi, Wai Tan Gong, Xiang gong, etc. are all suitable for the elderly. 

 

We will also seek sponsorships from supermarkets and enterprises, in the hope that they can sponsor supermarket coupons as rewards to the elderly persons for participating. We also plan to prepare materials such as bracelets for each elderly person, with each bracelet having its own unique number for points accumulation. Implementation: Firstly, several volunteers will be arranged at each meeting point to better handle the target beneficiaries’ participation and to distribute the bracelets.  Then, we will assist in their exercising goal-setting based on their individual body condition. We will then start the exercise activities. There will be appropriate amount of rests in-between activities with supply of light snacks such as fruits and vegetables. During the rest periods, the elderly participants may network and share interesting life stories with each other.
