Spreading Love to Street Cleaners 清潔工送暖探訪大行動

Street cleaners play an important yet often overlooked role in maintaining Hong Kong’s cleanliness, with over 13,300 workers who maintain the city streets every day. To express gratitude for their hard work, a group of HKUST volunteers visited Sham Shui Po to connect with the street cleaners in the area.

During the visit, students reached out to street cleaners by delivering a care package to express their love and care. By interacting with them, the students listened to their life stories, learning about their long hours, physical demands, and the challenges they face. This interaction left a lasting impact on the students, deepening their empathy and respect for street cleaners. It also inspired the students to advocate for greater respect and support for frontline workers in the communities.
