4月18日,一个阳光灿烂的上午,浦东协和双语小学的二十多个小朋友带着水果,带着点心,带着阳光,来到沙田敬老院,看望在这里生活的老人们。

作为一个志愿者爸爸,在观看协和小朋友文艺表演的老人中,有两个神态迥异的老太太引起了我的注意。

一位老太太衣饰整洁,戴着眼镜,始终微笑地看着孩子们的表演,并不时地用温尔文雅的鼓掌来表示自己的赞赏,他们说老太太以前是个老师;

另外一位老太太,却眉头紧锁,一脸愁容,似乎在和什么人正生气呢。但是随着孩子们真挚的表演,老太太的眉头舒展了,嘴角也有了隐隐的笑意,当孩子们的表演最终结束时,护工阿姨来搀扶老太太回房间,老太太却执拗地坐着,久久不愿离去。

  

     

身披阳光,走出敬老院,看着嬉笑着的孩子们,我忽然想到,协和一直在给孩子们做生命教育。

这次的敬老院之行,一方面是让孩子们去关爱老人,去付出爱。另一方面,何尝不是那些历尽人生的老人,将阳光下的微笑留给了孩子们呢。

 

 

听听学生们都讲了些什么?

This field trip was one of a kind. It was nice to support the elderly. It was incredible that there was a 102 year old lady who made it through World War 2! Even though it was very scary at times, I enjoyed it very much. It was fun to give the elderly cookies.

On a Thursday morning in April, the Student Council and the House Captains went on a trip to a retired house. We performed magic tricks, ballet, playing piano etc.

Although it wasn’t as fun and exciting as I expected, I had a pleasant feeling or an honor to help them such as cutting dragon fruit, taking banana out of bags and giving them to the elderly. The real thing is to make them happy. Seeing those happy faces staring at us, I was happy, too. And I also like the way they sing the songs. Making these happiness rejoin altogether again.

When I went to the retired house, I felt excited. Because I’m going to meet those grandmas and grandpas. We went to the activity room and did many performances. I think all of them are all very wonderful m. All the old people were all very happy and healthy. They even had some songs for us! I think when I grow up, I’m going to become a teacher and leads us in a field trip to a retired house, too. I think I have a terrific and super fabulous day!
