Despite the rain and rain in Auckland today, it was a lively scene at the Epsom Community Centre, and the enthusiasm for participation was not affected by the weather.
At the event site, everyone not only enjoyed convenient services, but also participated in relaxed conversations. Some people are standing and chatting, some are sitting and resting, groups of three or five are sharing interesting things in the corridor, and acquaintances meet and greet each other at the entrance…… The sound of rain is dripping, but it can’t cover the laughter.
Walking into the appliances repair area, the figure of volunteers rolling up their sleeves and focusing on repairs attracted onlookers. With the dexterous hands disassembling and assembling, people who came to participate took a closer look, sometimes exclaiming “so it is like this”; Moving to the calligraphy area, several people were concentrating on the water writing post, discussing the charm of pen and ink with calligraphy volunteers; The next area is even more lively, with volunteers placing items in an orderly manner, discussing topics such as clothing materials and daily wear, so that old things can be revitalized.
“Come and have a cup of hot tea to warm up!” The volunteers also thoughtfully prepared several hot drinks to warm the stomach and heart. The corridor was full of people, and everyone was full of smiles on their faces, sitting around and chatting; A few like-minded friends in the room were discussing some more in-depth topics.
Participant Fangfang said: “Although I am very busy, I will participate in any Daren activities, because I feel the true mutual help between people, not fame and fortune.” As long as it is beneficial to people, I am willing to do it. ”
A gardening enthusiast shared his small garden with a smile: the shade under the grape trellis, and the flowers and plants were dotted with “sky tower” bonsai made of recycled pots. The topic extends from the short story of parents to the art of life, from health and wellness to the philosophy of life, everyone speaks freely, and everyone becomes the teller and listener of life stories.
This afternoon, the rain was soft, the friendship is long-lasting, the mutual aid service conveyed warmth, and the laughter and laughter came one after another, immersing the whole community in a warm atmosphere.
Let’s look forward to the next beautiful gathering!
