The Elderly had a good time

Two typhoons struck Hong Kong in the summer of 2017 and brought severe damage to Tai O, the "Venice of the Orient" which has been famous of its unique stilt houses and waterways.

Collaborating with Hong Kong Young Women's Christian Association Tai O Community Work Office, HKUST students received training on elderly home safety and conduct home visit to elderly living in stilt houses to assess their living condition and introduce community resources.
