“Happy birthday~ Happy birthday~ Congratulations on the birthday of your beloved senior!”
On the 2nd, when the careful excitement of the new semester was spilling over to schools across the country, a happy birthday song rang out in the youth classroom at the District Shinnae Senior Welfare Center in Jungnang-gu, Seoul. This is the production site for a birthday celebration video to be sent to seniors who cannot use the welfare center due to Corona 19. Social workers wearing cone hats performed with large and powerful movements so that masks covering their expressions did not cover the heart of congratulations. Instead of applause from someone on their birthday,’Cut!’ The cry of saying marked the end of the performance. This youth class, which has held various cultural performances and classes throughout the week, has been suspended for the first year. Elderly people in the region of close to 1,000 people used the welfare center every day. The cafeteria where you can have lunch for 3,500 won (free for basic living recipients) from Monday to Saturday was also popular. Every nook and cranny of the welfare center was the love room of the elderly. It is not only children who cannot attend school who have lost friends to laugh and share warmth with. The same was true of the elderly who still had a youthful heart.
On the afternoon of the 2nd, Ms. Myung-hee smiles after receiving a birthday present at the Shinnae Senior Welfare Center in Sinnae-dong, Jungnang-gu, Seoul.
“You have to come to the welfare center to meet your friends, but you can’t come… . When I came here, haha hoho laughed a lot and the programs were varied, so I could learn and enjoy many things. But the past year when I couldn’t do anything, I was really depressed.” Myung-hee (small photo), who celebrated her 70th birthday last month, said with a calm expression. Since he had not been able to step into the welfare center, he received the prepared gift only after a month. Prior to the Corona 19 epidemic, Lim, who actively volunteered in local hospitals and public health centers, and received the Queen of Volunteers Award, but stayed at home for the past year. Social workers are the ones who have witnessed this situation of many elderly people in the closest places. After a year of contemplation and experimentation, they are preparing a variety of ways to communicate with isolated seniors, such as providing real-time online lectures at least twice a day through streaming. Students agree that “real-time online education is much more fun.” You can ask questions you don’t know right away through the comment window, and you can greet the instructor. When asked for opinions about the corona 19 vaccination, Lim added, “I will believe and be right in the turn.” “I think the elderly will be vaccinated first, but in my personal opinion, I want young people to be vaccinated first. Our old people are living with a bonus, but young people have to go back to their daily lives energetically.” May the flowers of youth bloom again in the hearts of those who have generously flowed through the clear waters of love for the rest of their lives. We support the spring of the elderly.
