Volunteers experiencing the accessibility facilities with disabled people

As a historical community, Ngau Tau Kok is in need of a more comprehensive development of accessibility facilities for disabled people. In collaboration with Caritas Ngau Tau Kok Community Centre, the Humanities and Social Science Student's Union (HSSU) organized the project to initiate building a more convenient environment for wheelchair users in Ngau Tau Kok by making a barrier-free roadmap and production of video clips.

Description

「無礙 • 愛在牛頭角」俾咗我一次極之難忘義工經歷。開始event到結束,我對於社區入面傷殘設施和社區人士的需要有了深入的認識。平日成日忽略咗他們的需要,誤以為現在的社區設施已經好足夠。但其實佢地仲係有好多生活上的困難。依家的社區對他們的資源,投放仍十分不足! 這是一個十分需要我地關注的問題!

在是次活動當中能看到一些平常不會留意到的人和事,忽略的社群。我學會深入地去了解他們,理辨他們的困難。發現原來常常低估了障礙人士的困難。希望日後也能夠學會設身處地理解他人的困難和感受。
