Volunteer Spotlight: Bea Chong Kee
Posted October 07, 2016
Beatrice Chong Kee has a long history of volunteering with Hale Makua. She started in 1999 after her husband passed away and has made it a point to be here every Friday since then. Bea shares, “My husband was a client in the Adult Day Health program and I always told myself that I would pay Hale Makua back for the wonderful care he received while in the program by volunteering, so here I am”.
Bea provides valuable support to our Human Resources office filing, making copies, and helping with day-to-day tasks. Bea has volunteered four hours a week for the past 17 years. That’s over 3,500 hours! Her goal was to give back to Hale Makua in an area that she not only felt could use the most help but also an area that she was comfortable in and enjoyed the tasks handed to her. “I enjoy office and clerical work, so this was a great match for me. The staff is always so friendly, and I find the work to be very fulfilling”, says Bea.
Did we mention that Bea is 83 years young? Bea says this is the secret to staying young and keeping her mind active. We appreciate Bea and all of her years of dedication to Hale Makua Health Services.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with office and clerical tasks. If you are interested, please contact Danielle Sanchez, at 808-871-9283 or DanielleS@halemakua.org, or download our volunteer application form here.
