Macao, 13 October 2014 – For seniors and elderly couples living alone this autumn, it was a time to be cared for. A group of volunteers from CESL Asia presented hand-knitted scarves and daily necessities to the elderly and ‘Peng On Tung’ Tele-Assistance service users during individual visits to their homes on 11 October 2014.
This came on the heels of a charity sale held on the ground floor of the AIA Tower by CESL Asia in its previous day, raising a total of MOP20,779.67 for the city’s ‘Peng On Tung’ Tele-Assistance Service Center. The company’s President and CEO Mr. António Trindade presented a cheque in the ceremony at the service center early on the visit day.
The visits were overwhelmed by the volunteer group’s enthusiasm, care and concerns to the elderly. The seniors recipients warmly welcomed the volunteers to their home visits and were very delighted with the handmade scarves and gifts. Through conversation, the volunteer team was able to gain a fuller understanding of daily life of the elderly and how the tele-assistance service could benefit the elderly in terms of their residential safety and convenience. It is hoped that more public awareness can be drawn to the seniors and more services can also put in place to address their needs in future.
CESL Asia has always shown attentive care to local seniors by organizing various activities and visits. Its Social Investment Program does not only prove its leading role in the works of benevolence within the local community, but also helps improve the company’s culture and environment, paving a way to establish a sustainable company that provides benefits to its staff.
