I think in the spirit of the New Lunar Year, I think it would be great for students to make gifts (cards, paper flowers, etc) and take it to a convalescent home. There are some in Chinatown and I believe that many elderly are neglected--what a way to bring social justice from the classroom to real life. I had a chance to visit with students (in the past) soup kitchens and organization that packaged food for the needy and both parents and students came away, revived and changed from the experience. I think it is important to plant ideas of service --that it is a gift that keeps giving.
