Gaia’s volunteer training workshop last session ended on July 8th and over 20 participants are awarded with certificate of completion. All our volunteers enjoyed the opportunity to visit and play with the seniors at Golden Age Court. We are counting on them to deliver more volunteer services to the seniors in the future.
