I created Teens Helping Seniors with my friends. The group has about 200 volunteers. The volunteers give food to the elderly in town. We spend six to eight hours a week doing this thing.

I organized Miler Senior Technology, a program to help the elderly learn how to use computers and smartphones. Now there are 50 local seniors in the weekly technology classes. I want to make sure that the seniors could stay connected to the world.

I came up with a way to help lonely seniors with my friends. We call it Joy 4 All Project. When the elderly call 569-4255, they can hear pre-recorded jokes. The hotline has received more than 1, 800 phone calls.

I heard that the seniors in the old people’s home couldn’t see their families and friends very often, so my friends and I decided to cheer up the elderly by writing them letters or visiting them. When visiting them, we often talk with them or sing for them. By now more than 100 students in my school have joined us. We now have our own name called We Are Together.
