The event recruited nine volunteers to work with a group of secondary school students who lack family support in distributing essentials to the underprivileged at Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter.

During the event, volunteers dedicated their time to the underprivileged, demonstrating care and attention by distributing essential items and gifts while spending time with them to show care and compassion. They also had the opportunity to learn about solar energy and wind power systems on the yacht, making a meaningful contribution to the community. Through their active involvement in the event, volunteers gained valuable insights into the challenges experienced by underprivileged communities, and were inspired to support the organization's ongoing efforts to foster positive change.
