Organized by: Asian American Women Association of Orange County (AAWA-OC) with La Quinta High School volunteers
Asian American Women Association of Orange County celebrated Mother’s Day by visiting two senior living facilities: Brookdale Senior Living and Westminster Villa. At Brookdale, residents aged 67 to 96 engaged in paper flower-making and sing-alongs led by Board Secretary Elizabeth La, despite mobility and vision challenges. Refreshments were shared, and photos were taken to create keepsakes.
At Westminster Villa, the team faced more physical and cognitive challenges among residents but fostered an uplifting atmosphere with music, personalized song requests, and paper flower crafts made by volunteers. Dr. Jackie’s emotional rendition of a traditional Vietnamese song deeply moved the audience.
The event was made possible through the collective efforts of AAWA-OC members, student volunteers, a photographer, and Elizabeth La. The visits fostered intergenerational connections and joy, embodying AAWA-OC’s mission to honor and uplift elders.
