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.
