According to the association, the donation ceremony for the "Care for Those Around You: Warm Hearts of the Elderly" project, under the organization of the Shanghai Huaai Charity Foundation and initiated by the Shanghai YMCA, took place on January 17 at Qibao Nursing Home. Since the project's launch, it has contributed to the medical staff supporting Hubei during the pandemic, children in need, and people with disabilities.
This "Warm Hearts of the Elderly" project aims to provide care in the winter to elderly people who are in need and live alone in nursing homes and communities.
The Dapuqiao Community Cultural Activity Center of Shanghai YMCA recently initiated a coffee culture experience event to optimize the business environment.
During the course, the instructor explained the origin, spread, and connection among different cultural phenomena of coffee, introducing coffee beans from different production areas and varieties, and the story of coffee beans.
Later, the attendees made coffees with unique latte art following the latte art tutorial.
On January 16, the Shanghai Huaai Elderly Care Home held its annual caregiver skills competition with 17 participants. This competition included five common daily care conditions: dealing with the elderly with dementia, wheelchair transfer, morning and evening care, changing urinals and diapers, and emergency response to falls.
The municipal YMCA founded the Shanghai Huaai School of Continuing Education, which held its sixth council meeting on Friday.
The council discussed ideas, methods, and tactics to promote the educational development of the school. At the meeting, Principal Wu Jianrong reviewed the school’s history with an introduction of the school’s key teaching work in 2023 as well as the plans and expectations for 2024.
The Gucun Town Xinjiayuan Community Cultural Activity Center of the Shanghai YMCA held a parent-child orientation on the sixth day of the week. The teacher taught about the origin of the Chinese New Year, the foods of the Spring Festival, and popular folk songs. In the paper-cutting session, children and parents made handicrafts, such as window grilles, lanterns, twelve zodiac signs, and the Chinese character "福" (meaning blessing).
On January 21, the Shanghai YMCA Shimen 2nd Road Community Cultural Activity Center’s Paper Club kicked off a series of science popularization events.
During the "Chasing Marine Life Fossils" lecture, volunteer teachers shared the story of the Permian fossil group recently discovered and unearthed in Jiande Town, Zhejiang Province, and demonstrated the process of fossilization of marine animals.
In addition, the club held a picture book reading session, themed "Indispensable Gravity," along with scientific experiments and DIY activities to allow children to explore the "force" in life.
