Secretary Cui, I have two ideas for the volunteer activities in our community in 2024, mainly focusing on the community's 'one old and one young', one is to give full play to my expertise and open a winter vacation public welfare interest class in the community, and I volunteer to teach the children to do handicrafts and learn to build;The second is to set up a community service team for the elderly to ......At 9 o'clock on January 9, Zhang Zengtao, who lives in Building 27, West District, Zhaoyi Street, Xinhua District, Shishi, came to the Community Neighborhood Committee of Zhaoyi Street New District and chatted with Cui Na, Secretary of the Community Party Committee, about his vision of community service in 2024.
Zhang Zengtao is 39 years old and a robotics programming teacher. Since moving to the West District of Zhao Yi Street in 2020, he has always been enthusiastic about community affairs, and whenever residents need it, he always volunteers to help, replacing light bulbs in corridors, repairing faucets, unclogging sewers, etc. He never got tired of it, and over time, everyone affectionately called him "Magnum Tao" in the community's WeChat group.
Everyone living in a community is a family, and whoever encounters difficulties, I can take a hand, and it is all a gesture. On January 9, Zhang Zengtao, who has a hearty personality, told reporters that his mother is a primary school teacher, and his mother once told him that teachers should not only teach, but also educate people, which is deeply engraved in his heart. Zhang Zengtao said: "I want to teach by word and deed and become a person who brings warmth to others." ”
Zhang Zengtao is always silently dedicated. When he finds that the lights in the hallway of the unit are not on, he will bring in a chair and replace it with a new oneSeeing the potholes at the entrance of the community, he will prepare stones and tools, and go to pave the road after the end of each day's workWhen he found that the security pile in the community was angular, he would bring styrofoam to wrap it around ......
The warm-hearted Zhang Zengtao went into the house to strengthen the windows for the residents.
During the interview, Cui Na told reporters that Zhang Zengtao was enthusiastic about community public welfare undertakings and cared for the elderly living alone in the community, and many elderly people who had received his help said that he had a heart of gold.
Once, Uncle Zhang, an elderly man living alone in the community, ran out of water, and hurriedly found the community neighborhood committee, Zhang Zengtao, who is good at maintenance work, learned the news, and rushed to Uncle Zhang's house without saying a word to help find the cause of the water run. After the water pipe was repaired, he also helped the old man wipe the soaked floor over and over again, and the old man's eyes were red with emotion. In June last year, a deaf and dumb old man moved downstairs in his house, and once the lock of the old man's bedroom door was broken, he stood at the door of the house for help, and it happened that Zhang Zengtao passed by and helped the old man solve his urgent need. After that, the warm-hearted Zhang Zengtao would pay attention to the situation of the deaf and mute old man when he went out and returned home, and helped her replace the lights in the restaurant, remove the angle iron of the pool, help the wound to be medicated, clean the floor hygiene, and buy food and water ......The old man is over 70 years old, her son is working in a foreign country, and a relative occasionally comes to visit her, mostly alone. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and I can help as much as I can. The kind-hearted Zhang Zengtao hopes that the elderly can live more comfortably and happily.
Zhang Zengtao uses his professional expertise to pay attention to the growth of children in the jurisdiction. In September 2023, with the support of the community, he became a volunteer of the Community Child Friendly Space, often using his spare time to teach everyone to turn waste into treasure in his spare time, advocating the concept of low-carbon environmental protection. "Uncle Zhang taught us how to make a 'little girl swinging' with a plastic spoon and a clock with a red wine stopper, which was very interesting. Lele, a 9-year-old boy in the community, has a soft spot for the "DIY corner" and "old object exhibition area" set up by Zhang Zengtao in the Child Friendly Space.

He has served and contributed to the community with practical actions, and has also attracted many enthusiastic residents to join the community volunteer service team.
