Hey, Angie, how's it going?0:17
Did you enjoy your winter holidays?0:19
I spent most of my time with my friends and family.0:23
I also spent some time visiting old people at the old people's home.0:26
I had a good time too.0:31
My grandparents were visiting, so I spent some time with them.0:33
I also did some volunteering at the local soup kitchen for the homeless.0:37
It's something my sisters and I do every year.0:42
What exactly did you do at the old people's home?0:46
I spent most of the time keeping company with the elderly.0:49
A lot of them have families who live far away and don't come to visit for the holidays.0:52
It gets extremely lonely for them.0:56
So I do what I can, like reading and talking to them or taking them for walks.0:59
And you, were you at the soup kitchen every day?1:04
Well, the local community centre organizes a soup kitchen for Christmas and New Year.1:08
Most people come to the soup kitchen those four days and that's when volunteers are needed most.1:13
My sisters and I usually go in the early afternoons or after dinner.1:19
The kitchen is also open the entire week in between, so we go whenever we get a chance.1:24
I am thankful for all that I have and I feel it's important to help those who are in need.1:29
My grandparents live two streets away from us and have us for company.1:36
But not everyone is as lucky.1:40
It really upsets me to know that some people, especially older people, are all alone for Christmas.1:42
Going to the old people's home brings joy to both the people there and to me.1:49
Maybe next year I can come with you to the old people's home for a few days and you can come to the soup kitchen with me.1:54
We can be working together.2:01
