This is the 4th year the Rotary Club of Macau hosted “Rotary Day with Grannies”. On a sunny Saturday, November 9, around 120 elderly enjoyed the trip. Participants came from 3 different organizations, Obra das Mães(澳門母親會), Caritas Macau(澳門明愛), and Macao Federation of Trade Unions(澳門工會聯合總會).
Under the leadership of President Elvo, IPP Fatima, PP Stella, PP Synthia, PP Sam, Rotarian Mathew and Salie, joined hands to make this a successful activity. We also appreciated the effort of Rotaractors from the Rotaract Club of Macau and the Rotaract Club of the University of Macau Students’ Union, as well as Interactors from the Interact Club of St. Paul School of Macau.
Participants started a tour of the University of Macau including the Library, University Gallery and University Hall. Then a tour took a group through the Cotai Strip to Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre for a nice Chinese lunch (supported by Shun Tak Holdings (Macau) Limited) together with Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors and volunteers. After lunch, the Rotaractors and Interactors played games with the elderly.
At the end of the tour, each participant took back home a Rotary Club of Macau goody foldable recycle backpack and bakery gift pack sponsored by October Fifth Bakery. Once again, this activity made an enjoyable and memorable day for all of them.
