South China: Zheng Shanying reports
The smile is on the face, and the service is heartwarming. On May 12, 2024, 26 members of the service team of Dongwang volunteers in Fu'an Area, Ningde, Fujian, received an invitation from Secretary He of Wengyao Village, Fu'an, Fujian Province to serve the convenience of the people.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, volunteers rode to the destination on time to provide free haircuts, massages, knife sharpening and other activities for rural residents. After setting up the tools for haircuts and sharpening knives, and when the residents who passed by learned that it was the volunteers who were serving for free, one of the uncles said, "When I saw you coming, I ran back to the village and shouted!" The neighbors looked to the volunteers to serve us again, and everyone had knives to sharpen. After he spread the news, the neighbors came home and brought kitchen knives, scissors, and woodcutters to sharpen them. In addition, several elderly people came to massage, get haircuts, and chat about family life together, and they were as attentive and enthusiastic to the elderly as their own parents.
A few hours passed, and with everyone's hard work, all the dozens of kitchen knives brought by the masses were sharpened. The residents happily returned home with sharpened knives, saying words of gratitude all the time, and at the same time bringing the neighborhood closer together.
Volunteer service is a spirit, a responsibility, a kind of strength, we hold hands side by side, together for the society to dedicate their meager strength, but also won the praise of the masses.
