Give a little sunshine! The Council on Aging (COA) runs a telephone friendship project called the Sunshine Call Program,matching over-60s with a friendly volunteer for a daily chat over the phone.The aim is simple --to help ease the loneliness and repair social networks.
Sheila,77,a retired teacher,lived alone.She has been receiving calls from Rianne,a volunteer,for over two months.
   "Talking to Rianne is something I really look forward to--a breath of fresh air.We talk about everything--theatre,her work,books we've read...Listening to someone else's life enriches you and gives you something positive to focus on."
   "At the beginning,I had no expectation of how the phone calls would go,but it's wonderful that it's led to a genuine friendship.Rianne helps me a lot..."
Are you ready to add a little sunshine to a senior's life?
   The Sunshine Call Program initially links a volunteer with an isolated(獨(dú)居的)senior for a daily call.When comfortable,the volunteer introduces a second senior to the call.Then another,until there are four seniors to one volunteer on what is essentially a conference call.Without having to leave the house,you will help the seniors meet and make new friends.They will then exchange phone numbers to chat on their own and reduce their isolation.
   What are the volunteer qualifications?
   Volunteers must have access to the Internet and be willing to be trained on the use of a chat app.COA will provide all supplies required to make the calls.Besides,volunteers must agree to participate in monthly meetings with other volunteers and guest speakers.All volunteers must be willing to provide a recent Criminal Record Check,the cost of which will be borne by COA.And the most important volunteer qualification is a sense of caring and a desire to help seniors in the community!

  • 2.With Memorial Day and summer right around the corner,you're bound to feel a serious case of wanderlust coming on.Whether you want to travel the world or just squeeze in a weekend getaway to your nearest National Park,camping is always the answer.Whatever you've got in mind,we've rounded up a selection of the world's most beautiful camping spots to get you started.
       ●Yosemite National Park,California
       Ninety-five percent of Yosemite National Park is set apart for wilderness,which means no cars,no buildings,and no electricity.Sleep under the stars and hike up to Glacier Point for a view of Yosemite Valley,Half Dome,and Yosemite Falls.Make sure you store your food properly though - black bears are common!
       ●Boya Lake Provincial Park,Canada
       Boya Lake Provincial Park,known for the color and clarity of its lake,is a great place to enjoy any type of water recreation.The lake is also one of the few in the north that's warm enough for swimming.The area was carved out by glaciers,leaving many islands and lakes behind for modern campers to explore on the park's hiking trails.
       ●Corcovado National Park,Costa Rica
       Corcovado National Park is home to five percent of the world's biodiversity--National Geographic described it as the most "geographically intense" place in the world.Camping is a great option for a visit to Costa Rica:you'll be at the heart of the rainforest,away from the country's touristy resorts.
       ●Maasai Mara National Reserve,Kenya
       If you've always dreamed of safaris(野外觀獸旅行),Maasai Mara is the place to go.The best time to visit this large game reserve is between July and October,when you can witness the annual migration(遷徙)of Thomson's gazelle,zebra,and wildebeest to and from the neighboring Serengeti,in Tanzania.Camp on the banks of the Mara River and hang out with the local Maasai people,well-known for their unique customs and dress.
