Students served as volunteers to host games for the elderly

Since 2010, HKUST students volunteered to lead and plan activities to serve senior citizens in the Tseung Kwan O community monthly. During the visits, volunteers facilitated fun activities to entertain the elders and also helped distributing traditional Chinese soups to the elders. The time spent together enables HKUST students to build a close relationship with the elders in the community.

Volunteers spoke to each elderly member individually in small groups
