For the last 18 years, the sisters have been volunteering to entertain at senior care facilities all over Prince Edward Island.

Molly White, left, and her sister Ann Campbell have been volunteering at seniors homes together for 18 years.

"We try to sing songs that they can relate to and that brings back memories for them," Campbell said. "It's not about us, it's about them." They call their musical duo "Just Wee Two" because it's always been just the two of them. White said the "wee" part is because they're both quite short. "Oh my, the joy and enjoyment of seeing those smiles and wanting to get up and dance," said Campbell.In March 2020, the Chief Public Health Office announced restrictions for long-term care facilities and nursing homes on P.E.I., in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

So, the sisters took their performances outside. Residents were able to gather inside and watch them perform through the windows at different seniors' homes.
