Take a Step Further: Raise a Brighter Future for Jiangxi Children 愛傳江西築明天
A group of students who have joined the Jiangxi Service Learning Trip earlier this year were inspired by the experience and believe that they can do more for the children beyond the trip. They have mobilized the HKUST community to join hands in raising fund to purchase stationary and personal care items. They will bring the purchased items to Jiangxi in the upcoming June.
Students' Sharing
今次有幸能參加江西服務團的Post trip活動給我帶來了極大的滿足感。因為我不但在服務團中為江西的小朋友帶來了歡樂，同時在參加Post trip活動讓更多科大師生認識到留守兒童的處境。我深深感受到，我們的義工團並不是去完江西便算而是一個持續性的工作，不斷地為改善當地兒童的生活而努力。另一方面，經過今次sit counter 做 promotion 的經歷，我開始發現科大朋友樂於助人的一面。在promotion期間，有不少科大人一聽到是為留守兒童籌款就紛紛慷慨解囊，甚至有的更捐出百元大鈔。沒有科大人熱心的精神，哪有這樣成功的義工之行？

After a series of planning and preparation, I am so glad that “Take a Step Further” fund-raising has been successfully carried out and received great support from fellow students and HKUST staff. In this post-service trip service, I have learnt a lot. For instance, explaining the vision of our fundraising to others effectively. Apart from this, I also observed that many students and staff are indeed kind-hearted and willing to help the needy by giving out a small amount of money to support our event. Yet, the majority of students may not be very socially-awarded that they didn’t even spend time in listening. In the future, I am determined to engage the students around me to take a step further to help others.
