Local Community Service Project in Sham Shui Po
The two Interact Clubs of Ying Wa Girls’ School and Ying Wa College jointly organized a two-day local community service project (深緒情緣) (Aug 14-15) at Sham Shui Po. With the support of Sham Shui Po YWCA, interactors of both schools visited the elderly who live in sub-divided flats and talked to street cleaners in the district. In the evening, they had a homelessness simulation experience where they had to find a place to rest in the park or in the pedestrian tunnel and sold cardboard scraps to earn money. At night, they divided themselves into groups to visit homeless people. Through listening to their stories, students were more aware of the needs of the marginalized group in society.
