I went with Mary Chu, Eva and Eli to work for
three hours as a volunteer in the Childrenˇ¦s Activities Room of the Central
library. I felt that it was very meaningful. The children were lovely and their
spoken English was very good, even better than mine! They were not at all
naughty and they paid full attention to the host who told them stories. The
atmosphere was fun enough that the children did not feel bored. The best thing
was; there were free Disney soft toys. At that moment, I felt like a kid, and I
wanted the host to give meˇ§Tiggerˇ¨, but on second thoughts, I was
really not that young anymore, and I dreaded the outcome of my asking for one!
There should be activities like this for children when they are growing up.
There is no meaning just taking them to the mall, eating and drinking.
