Global Service Day - Smartphone Academy for Elderly 智能手機長者學堂

"Caring Engaging Smart", an initiative by the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS), aims to improve the living environment and community facilities for the elderly residents, and support their housing and social needs. In collaboration with HKHS, we will guide the elderly singletons and elderly couples living in Moon Lok Dai Ha to use smartphones apps to access services supporting their ability to live independently and help them stay socially connected. You will provide both practical assistance and emotional support to residents in need.

香港房屋協會(房協)推行「房協友里」計劃，為長者居民提供一站式的支援服務，改善長者的居住屋環境和設備，並策動社區夥伴回應長者的身心社交及住屋等需要。我們將與房協合作，服務居住荃灣滿樂大廈的獨居或雙老長者，教導他們使用智能電話應用程式，向長者們送上親切的問候，同時讓他們跟上時代的步伐，並在數碼世界中享受科技帶來的各種便利。
