Volunteers promoting the campaign at the exhibition

World Vision Hong Kong hosted "Food for Every Child" Exhibitions to raise funds for the hungry children and families in the world. Volunteers were recruited to support the operation of "Food for Every Child" Exhibitions, which encouraged the general public to skip at least one meal in April and donate to help the hungry children.

Description

雖然這次活動人流多,但真正駐足觀賞的人卻不多。幸好的是每個停下來觀賞展品的人都是真心想了解更多的。我記得當日有數位非常熱心的市民前來展覽只是為了捐獻給饑饉三十這個活動,雖然他們很多都是匆忙離去,但其熱心的程度實在感動了我。另一位小朋友的行為亦令我感動,原本她是與她母親經過,但她卻特意走過來仔細閱讀展品,更向母親主動解釋其意思。因此,這個活動我仍是認為有其意義的。

I have participated in the activity Famine 30 as a volunteer. It was such a meaningful experience. We actually learnt that there is an urgent need for the children in the developing area. You saw those faces crying faces of hunger, but you also saw those smiley faces just because of a piece of bread. So no matter how little you donated or helped it can actually make thousands of kids gain those smiles :) Please don’t hesitate to help them.
