British resident honored as "Good Neighbor"


Since her arrival in Suzhou, British citizen Ms. Zeinab has been an active volunteer in her community, often bringing her sons along to community public services, too. She has also made friends with her neighbors and they often visit each other and have meals together.  

At the awarding ceremony for "Touching Huxi " Good Samaritan and Good Neighbor Awards 2016 held last Friday afternoon, Ms. Zeinab won the title of "Huxi Good Neighbor".   

Zeinab and her husband are from the UK and settled down in SIP Shuixiang Community in 2012, when she voluntarily joined the community's volunteer team. In the beginning, she took part in community activities alone. Later, she prompted her two sons Jenson and Harrison to become "little volunteers", too. Zeinab also brought her foreign friends to community activities and encouraged them to communicate with local residents.

On every Laba Day (the eighth day of the twelfth month in Chinese lunar calendar), Zeinab makes a point of getting in touch with Shuixiang Community and making Laba porridge with her neighbors to experience the traditional Chinese festive atmosphere.

Community volunteer Ms. Shao Juzhen lives next door to Zeinab and they always exchange gifts on festivals besides often treating each other to delicious food in everyday life. 

"I get on very well with my neighbors and feel quite at home, especially when we go to activities together," said Zeinab.

According to Huxi Social Work Committee, Huxi has given awards to 696 "Good Neighbors" and 148 "Touching Huxi" Good Samaritans since 2009. The selection of "Touching Huxi" Good Samaritan and "Good Neighbor" Awards has played a key role in promoting neighborhood communication and passing on community positive energy in the Huxi area.
