This week wwkids had the opportunity to have the third serve and surf of the summer. This week we had the opportunity of going to the Ganton Center to spend time with the elderly residents of our community. The kids had a great time and it was amazing to get to see different generations of people interacting in a positive way.
During this event, it was amazing to see how much enjoyment the residents got out of simply seeing the children. At first the kids were hesitant, but by the end everyone was smiling and having a good time. Not because there was a lot of deep meaningful conversation, but because they got to see the children. Some of the kids simply said hello and then played the Wii, which the elderly enjoyed watching them do. It was a great experience and it is amazing what can happen when a little bit of time is given up so that many may benefit from simple actions.
