Location: SAGE Madam Ho Sin Hang Home for the Elderly, Cyberport
Date: 13 March 2026
The aroma of freshly made egg waffles has a way of pulling people together. On a Friday afternoon, that simple scent became the backdrop for something far sweeter — an afternoon of laughter, storytelling, and connection across generations.
Organised by Les Beatitudes Foundation and supported by Peak II Foundation, the workshop brought 10 volunteers alongside 20 elderly residents to cook, create, and simply be together. But this wasn’t just an activity. It was a living example of our mission at work: we invest in people who help people.
When Empowered Mothers Meet Wise Elders
Among the volunteers were mothers from Les Beatitudes Foundation — women from grassroots communities in Wong Tai Sin and Sham Shui Po who have been trained in creative arts, craftsmanship, and community service through the Foundation’s programmes. Not long ago, many of these women were themselves in need of support. Today, they stood in the kitchen of an elderly home, gently guiding a 90-year-old’s hand as she poured batter into an egg waffle mould, sharing laughter over the imperfectly shaped results.
This is the multiplier effect that Peak II Foundation believes in: when you invest in a person, she doesn’t just rise — she reaches out. The mothers who once received help have become the ones giving it. The elderly who might otherwise spend their afternoons in silence found themselves surrounded by warmth and conversation.
A 106-Year-Old Reminder
The most unforgettable moment of the day came from a 106-year-old gentleman who greeted our team with a smile so bright it filled the room. His energy defied every expectation. He didn’t just participate — he radiated a quiet joy that reminded everyone present of something important:
A life well-lived is not measured by years. It is measured by the warmth you carry and the connections you build.
For our volunteers, meeting him was not an act of giving — it was a gift received.
Why This Matters
It would be easy to describe this as “a cooking workshop for the elderly.” But look closer:
A mother who came to Hong Kong with no community now has the skills and confidence to serve others. An elderly resident who rarely has visitors spent an afternoon laughing with someone who genuinely cared. A young volunteer discovered that wisdom doesn’t come from textbooks — it comes from a 106-year-old man who still greets every day with a smile.
Each person in that room was changed by the others. No one was simply a “giver” or a “receiver.” Everyone was both. That is the kind of community Peak II Foundation exists to build — one where empowerment flows in every direction, and where a simple egg waffle can become a bridge between generations, backgrounds, and life experiences.

跨代共融的溫馨時刻 — 耆康會何善衡夫人敬老院
日期： 2026年3月13日
地點：耆康會何善衡夫人敬老院（數碼港）
今日，崇嶺基金會聯同愛連心慈善基金於耆康會何善衡夫人敬老院（數碼港） 舉辦了一場溫暖愉快的 雞蛋仔工作坊。活動共有 10 位義工 參與，並有 20 多位長者 一同動手製作地道美食。現場洋溢著輕鬆、歡樂與滿滿的人情味。
在陣陣香氣中，真正令人難忘的並非雞蛋仔本身，而是當中的交流與互動。長者與義工邊分享故事邊交流近況，每一段對話都為下午增添了一份溫度。
活動中，我們有幸遇見一位 106 歲的伯伯。雖然年事已高，他卻擁有一顆年輕的心。伯伯微笑著主動向我們打招呼，他的熱情、幽默與活力深深感染了在場每一位。
他讓我們明白，生命的價值不在於活了多少年，而在於內心的富足與與人之間的連結。
為何這重要
要把這件事描述成「一場為長者而設的烹飪工作坊」，很容易。但看得再近一點：
一位來港時舉目無親的媽媽，如今有技能與自信去服務他人。一位鮮有探訪的長者，在一個下午裡，與真心關懷她的人一同歡笑。一位年輕義工發現，智慧不來自課本——來自一位每天仍以笑容打招呼的106歲伯伯。
房間裡的每一個人，都被其他人改變。沒有人只是「付出者」或「接受者」——每個人都是兩者。這正是崇嶺基金會希望建立的社區：賦能在每個方向流動，而一件簡單的雞蛋仔，可以成為跨越世代、背景與生命經驗的橋樑。
崇嶺基金會將繼續搭建跨代的橋樑——創造義工向長者學習的空間、讓賦能的媽媽回饋社區，讓每個共享的時刻，成為邁向更有同情心的香港的一步。
