Volunteering @Crossroads 國際十字路會義工服務
Volunteers joined hands with a diverse team to support Crossroads’ daily operations including sorting and packing quality goods donated by businesses and private donors before re-distributing them to people in need. In particular, they assisted in sorting electronic items to Africa for shipment in May and clothes for local distribution.

It’s a really fruitful day here because I learnt about how Crossroads facilitates donations from around the world and distributes them to the needy. There’s a lot of things to consider before people actually donate their belongings. For instance, at least clean the stuff and write a simple description about how to use it if it is a complicated piece of electronics. Thanks Connect for offering this opportunity.
這次在十字路口的義工經驗十分難忘。其一，十慶幸在香港社會仍月一群願意為了改善地球貧窮問題而全職投身工作的志願者，他們的投入與無私貢獻令人欽佩。其二，體驗到幸福並非必然，尤其在不斷重複搬運家具的時候，即便會感沉悶、疲累，但未敢忘記在地球另一端仍有成千上萬的兒童正等待我們的支援，所以想到這裏我會更珍惜現在擁有的一切。
