In June 2014, 18 HKUST Students and 3 Connect staff went back Jiangxi to serve the local community again. Student volunteers prepared different practical topics including computer, English, natural science, oral health, logical thinking and exploring the world to cater for the needs of the local children. The students also visited a social enterprise called "eco-Cultivation Organic Agriculture Development (Ruijin) Co. Ltd." to understand how its operations impact on Jiangxi local community. Both the children and the volunteers had an unforgettable summer, they would certainly miss every moment of the time spent together from which they learned a lot.
