HKUST volunteers accompanied mentally challenged children to explore and to learn more about our society, including visiting Hong Kong Science Museum, watching documentary in Hong Kong Space Museum, and playing mass games in HKUST. Also, the volunteers organized some sports activities and mass games for the mentally challenged adults. Through the service, the volunteers could understand more about the characteristics of the mentally challenged people and the way of how to interact with them. Both the volunteers and the recipients enjoyed the great time in this summer.
