"This lady is in her 60s, lives alone and often needs help," said Chen, 45, a volunteer of "Time Bank". The government in Haikou, Hainan has run the Time Bank programme for 3 years to help make the life of local elderly people easier.
Time Bank collects the daily needs of the old in communities and then posts the orders on a programme online. Volunteers then take the orders and offer the services to those in need. Each volunteer can get the "time currency (货币)" for every hour of service they offer. They can use the currency to ask for the voluntary services when they grow old themselves, or give away their currency to others in need of elderly care.
Wu Meiling helps with the monthly activities of the programme. "Most of the elderly people on the programme are those who live alone, or those in poor health. But the volunteers come from all walks of life, such as teachers, doctors and workers," said Wu. "Time Bank provides a chance for volunteers to get to know each other and learn new skills from others. By exchanging time and skills, members can develop the spirit of mutual aid, save costs and build stronger communities."
"However, the Time Bank programme needs more changes," said Li Jinling, a leader of the programme. "Many elderly people do not know about the programme or do not know how to order it online. We'll go on working hard to get more people interested in it."

“这位女士60多岁，独自生活，经常需要帮助，”45岁的“时间银行”志愿者陈说。海南海口市政府已经运行“时间银行”项目3年了，旨在让当地老年人的生活更轻松。
时间银行收集社区老年人的日常需求，然后将这些需求发布在一个线上程序上。志愿者们随后接受这些需求并为有需要的人提供服务。每位志愿者每提供一小时的服务都能获得“时间货币”。当他们自己变老时，他们可以用这种货币来换取志愿服务，或者把自己的货币赠送给其他需要养老服务的人。
吴美玲协助该项目的月度活动。“该项目中的大多数老年人都是独居老人或者健康状况不佳的人。但志愿者来自各行各业，比如教师、医生和工人，”吴说。“时间银行为志愿者们提供了一个相互认识并从他人那里学习新技能的机会。通过交换时间和技能，成员们可以培养互助精神、节省成本并建立更强大的社区。”
“然而，时间银行项目需要更多的改进，”该项目的一位负责人李金玲说。“许多老年人不了解这个项目，或者不知道如何在线上提出需求。我们将继续努力，让更多的人对它感兴趣。”
