1. Visiting Services

This month, we held 5 visitation events. A volunteer from Chongqing Technical University, Li Xianping, visited grandmother Kuang on June 9th; volunteer Liu Haili visited grandmother Zhang on the 12th; 5 volunteers from Huizhizhou visited 5 seniors on the 7th, 20th, and 27th. When visiting grandmother Kuang, the elderly grandmother wanted Li Xianping to help her burn some paper money for a colleague of hers who passed away. After getting to know Mrs. Kuang, Li found out that when Mrs. Kuang was working, she had a misunderstanding with her colleague and did not clear up in the decades that passed. When she found out that her colleague has passed away, Mrs. Kuang felt awful. But because of her bedbound condition, she can only ask the volunteer to help her. After finding out about this situation, Li Xianping immediately contacted social workers in the center to discuss making the grandmother feel better by reviewing her life together. Burning paper money is only a way for her to feel temporarily relieved. By understanding what happened in the past through conversations with the elderly, Li could find the reasons behind Mrs. Kuang’s actions and help her feel better.

1. Volunteer Service Activities
   • “My Body, My Responsibility” Chronic Illnesses Self-Care Group: With support from center social workers, two professional social volunteers from Chongqing Technical University held a “My Body, My Responsibility” Chronic Illnesses Self-Care Group activity. Through site visiting and investigating in advance and after getting the permission of the elderly, volunteers selected 10 seniors who had similar experiences. They all suffer from high blood pressure or diabetes. In the group, volunteers ask the seniors to share their experience with the illness and tricks for controlling it. They also discussed how to use resources more efficiently. After going through the first five activities, the group bond strengthened and trust grew. The group members became more comfortable with sharing their experiences with the illness and how they deal with the condition. They found spiritual support through sharing and understanding one another and bonded with each other.

Longwan Caring Home is located in Dahua County, which was listed as one of the poorest counties in Guangxi Province. Longwan Caring Home is a big family consisting of orphans, single parents, and abandoned children. The normal expense of the Home is sustained by plantation, breeding, and small business.
 
Going into June, the South is already getting very hot. In June, the South also happens to have lots of rain and floods. Dahua County experienced the worst rainstorm in a hundred years while the Longwan Loving Home was hit by disease. Both children and adults could not resist the germs that took over their bodies. Even though we encountered unforeseeable difficulties, our hearts are still together, and Home still received support and help.
 
In June, we attended the parent meetings for Home’s first to sixth graders enrolled in Longma Elementary School. These are the Home’s sixth graders. On July 2nd, they will be taking the Sixth Grade Exit Exam. We hope they will do well!
  
The 2015 (fourth annual) “Outdoor Cleaning Day” is a large-scale outdoor nonprofit environmental protection event that will start simultaneously in forty-six prefectures located in sixteen provinces, cities, and territories. Our Longwan Loving Home has participated in “Outdoor Cleaning Day” for three years in a row. From cleaning our small home, we then swept every little road in our village. During each year’s event, the children were always excited and worked hard with their cleaning tools.
  
The goal of the Outdoor Cleaning Day is to call every to pick up their “lost civilization” and remind people about having a green, environmentally friendly mindset and a healthy lifestyle through having volunteers clean the public spaces, a simple, easy to complete environmental protection activity. Through the event, more citizens will understand and care about the environment and protect it together with the ultimate goal of reaching a state of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
