Seniors at the Queens Herald Church

Interviews at the Queens Herald Church

         Our team, NYCityzens, visited the Queens Herald Church (QHC) in Flushing, NY to interview some  of their senior citizens. There were about 25 seniors there for their weekly fellowship meeting. We walked in expecting to find seniors with walking disabilities, but instead we found that most of them were in great physical condition even at ages up to 86. Only one person actually used a cane sometimes. We were very surprised to see so many seniors in good shape.

         Corban and Daniel both interviewed a different senior. Corban interviewed two seniors ages 79 and 86, while Daniel interviewed a senior who was 83 years old. It seems as if many of the seniors did not need any assistance in walking. We learned that some of them had hobbies/talents. Three of them were woodworking, exercising and listening to music. When we asked them about technology, a new type of technology that they would like to have is a motorized and remote controlled walker.

         Most of the seniors had a lot of friends and a big family. It seems as if the seniors are very happy when they are together since they are friends.
