Volunteers of Zhaojia village in Bianqiao town of Pingyi county, Linyi, East China's Shandong province, used a themed Party day on Nov 10 to bring hands-on help to disabled residents and elderly people living alone in the village.
Working in households, the volunteers tidied belongings, swept courtyards and aired quilts, and helped sun the villagers' dried sweet potato slices to lighten their farm chores. Between chores they sat with residents, asked about their health and difficulties, and reminded them to keep warm and use fire and electricity safely, and to turn to the village promptly when problems arise.

Organizers said the activity improved living environments for disabled families and brought village officials, volunteers and vulnerable groups closer, and that the town will keep such volunteer services on a regular footing, focusing on the actual needs of disabled residents and elderly people living alone.
