Jiahemay Senior Association – Golden Melody Series Project Progress Report

With the support of the government, the Jiahemay Golden Melody Series project has successfully held multiple class sessions. Each session was filled with energy and joy as seniors enthusiastically participated by drumming, clapping, and tapping their feet to the rhythm. Various instruments joined in, creating a lively atmosphere of laughter, singing, and applause.

On March 25, more than 30 volunteers and actors from the Family Harmony Association visited the Silverthorn Nursing Home to deliver the warmth of spring with a theatrical performance.

The volunteers arrived early to set up the venue, and the actors carefully polished the program. The opening dance “Celebration" was full of passionate drum beats, and the Chinese red waist drum and long silk danced, instantly igniting the whole audience; the Tai Chi fan dance was both hard and soft, and the harmonica solo “Ah, Friend" made the elderly hum with a smile. Planner qiquan Zhang (Jack) said: “This year, we added song and instrument accompaniment, continuing the touching Mongolian dance “Blue Sky" last year."

After the performance, the nursing home invited us to visit again in the summer, praising them for “building a bridge of hearts with art." The association prepared snacks for the actors and volunteers. Photographers Patrick and Sun Jianping took pictures of the people sitting around and talking, reflecting the spring sun, and the warmth flowed.

Using art to convey warmth, Family Harmony is always on the road.

演出后，养老院邀约暑期再访，赞其"以艺术架起心桥"。协会为演员及义工备好点心补给，摄影师Patrick与孙建平镜头下，众人围坐畅谈的身影与春阳相映，暖意流淌。
