Through this activity, the volunteers demonstrated their care for the elderly and their concern for social issues.

The cognitive screening and assessment event has helped us detect early signs of dementia among the elderly, and let them feel the care of society. As a global company, Xinyi Group has the obligation and responsibility to provide assistance and support to the underprivileged in society.
