The trip was full of happy memories!

In January 2014, 16 HKUST Students and 2 Connect staff went back Jiangxi again. Further to our service last year, our students carried on organizing various activities for the children, teaching them about practical topics including thanksgiving and politeness, exploring the world and creativity, emotion control and value. The team prepared different interactive games and a carnival to the children. Both parties had lots of fun! The students also visited a social enterprise called “eco-Cultivation Organic Farm (Rujin), Limited” to understand how its operations impact on Jiangxi local community.
