(Topic 2: Elderly Service)

Topic 2: 樂齡服務 Elderly Service

根據統計處2021年年中的臨時數據，香港65歳或以上的長者人數約143萬（佔總人口接近20%）。按推算，政府估計20年後，本港接近三分一人口將會是65歲或以上的長者。本港長者生活狀況及社福政策，真的與你無關嗎？

It is projected that, the proportion of elderly people will increase to over 30% of the total population in the coming 20 years.

VolTrekkers Training Scheme 2021-2022 (Food Waste)

VolTrekkers Training Scheme 2021-2022
(Topic 1: Food Waste)

Topic 1: 惜飲惜食 Food Waste

香港現時每日產生超過3,000公噸廚餘，佔都市固體垃圾量三份一。如果按現時情況, 數年內便會填滿堆填區。廚餘問題難以於一夜間逆轉, 我們又如何出一分力?

減少廚餘問題是聯合國可持續發展目標的其中之一，可見廚餘處理對全球長遠發展的具深切影響。本年度「『順龍仁澤學義同行』服務學習培訓計劃」目標讓同學經歷「培訓」、「體驗學習及規劃服務」與「實踐服務」三個階段，從而了解香港的廚餘問題， 並實踐所學, 籌備及實踐服務。過程中, 同學將參與個人性格特質、團隊合作、義工服務策劃和實踐、以及思考設計的培訓工作坊，了解自己的個人特質, 從而擬訂發展方向。透過與組員一同實踐為期一星期的服務， 參加者可藉此鍛鍊個人組織及溝通能力。

The 3,000 tones food waste produced every day constitutes more than one-third of the solid waste in Hong Kong. It is predicted that Hong Kong will run out of landfills if we keep dumping food this way in a few years’ time. It seems impossible to reverse the situation overnight. But does it mean there’s nothing we can do to alleviate the problem?

To echo with SDG12 of the United Nation – Responsible Consumption and Production, VolTrekkers will work towards reducing and recycling food waste. By joining this program, you will be provided with various training workshops, experiential-learning opportunities. You will learn the cause and impact of food waste problem. You will work as a team to plan and implement a service project about reducing food waste and educate the people around you about food waste problem. What’s more?

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.
