Jiangxi Service Learning Trip (Jan 2017) 手牽「守童」行 — 江西服務學習之旅

22 HKUST students and 2 Connect Staff were back in Jiangxi again in 2017 winter. During the visit, the volunteers served at two separate primary schools in Huangtian village and Longjiang village, Jiangxi. Similar to previous trips, student volunteers organized and conducted interactive lessons on science, geography and astronomy for children. In addition, English reading skills were introduced to the children to help them better comprehend English passages. Our student volunteers and the children had an amazing time during the classes.

With the help of past trip participants, sports equipment, chess and board games were brought to the Jiangxi children. A mass game session was held and the children enjoyed playing chess and board games with student volunteers.

Additionally, student volunteers visited a social enterprise called “eco-Cultivation Agriculture Development Organic Farm (Ruijin) Co. Ltd.” in order to understand how organic farming operations positively impact the local Jiangxi community. Both our student volunteers and the children shared many unforgettable memories, which will surely be cherished in the times to come.
