“No Food Waste” Campaign

Collaborating with Food Grace (食德好), the HSUHK Volunteer Team launched the “No Food Waste” Campaign from March to June 2021. The program aims to enhance students’ understanding on the current situation of food waste in Hong Kong, promote the concept of food-waste reduction and encourage a food-saving lifestyle in the HSUHK community. A series of activities, including Food Collection and redistribution, Low-Carbon & Nutritious Diet Workshop, soup making and delivery and Workshop on Handmade Fruit Peel Fragrance were held.

心意卡行動 Action to Make a Card

The HSUHK Volunteer Team co-organised the ‘Action to Make a Card’ campaign with Rehabilitation Alliance Hong Kong (RAHK) from January to April 2021, showing love and care to people with disabilities by sending them self-designed greeting cards. After taking part in the talk themed ‘The Needs and Related Support Policy for People with Disabilities’, participating students gained a better understanding of the situations of the disabled and learnt of their difficulties. They then designed beautiful greeting cards to encourage the disabled to face the challenges under the pandemic with an optimistic attitude. The campaign received overwhelming responses from more than 300 students and over 800 greeting cards were collected.

停課不停學！小學生網上學習服務 Stay Learning! Online Tutorial Class for Primary Students

The COVID-19 pandemic has neither stopped students’ eagerness to serve and learn nor the HSUHK Volunteer Team from contributing to society. Our Volunteer Team has partnered with the ELCHK North District Integrated Youth Service Centre to provide tutorial support to primary students during the suspension of their face-to-face classes. There are 100 HSUHK students participating in the programme in which they have been engaged in teaching material preparations, video making and hosting online classes. A series of interesting online tutorials have been produced since March 2020 to support primary students to learn at home.

One of the volunteer tutors Kenneth Leung, a Year 2 student of the BA-ENG programme, shared his experience, “We offered lively and vivid online classes to inspire students and let them learn more about themselves. I am grateful to have this opportunity to serve as a tutor, which reminds me of the nature of education.” During this challenging period, the HSUHK Volunteer Team and the fellow students stand united to support our society with the spirit of mutual care.

Community Organizer of SoCO, Mr NG Wai Tung, introduced the situation of street sleepers in the district, then led the team to visit the homeless and distributed the gift bags at Tung Chau Street Park and its vicinity.
