Dear Joyce ,
How are you? I hope you and your family members are in pink of health. Recently, I had a great
experience. I must share it with you.
I am a member of the internet Club in my school. Last week, all the members decided to do
something nice for the home of the Golden People. Yes, you guessed it! It is an old folks home.
We visited the place on a Sunday.
The club advisor, Mrs Pala and all the members met early in the morning at school. We
prepared foods and drinks. We divided ourselves into a few groups to do the activities we had
planned. Some of us were to clean up the place, while others would manage the food and
drinks. A bunch of us were in charge of entertaining the elderly people in the home. We
brought a projector along to entertain them with old and new movies.
We managed to clean up and liven up the place. Everyone enjoyed the goodies we brought with
us. It was like a party. Some of my friends even got these elderly people to get up, sing and
dance with us. This brought smiles to their sad faces. It was worth all the hard work for us!
Later in the evening, we just sat and talked with the elderly people there. They had a lot of
stories to tell. Most of them sad, because many of them were made homeless because their
own children neglected them! I promised myself I will never do that to my parents.
Well, Joyce, its getting late. I have to pen off now. Hope to hear from you soon!

Your best friend,
Marie
