The experience brought together a team of 22 students to preserve the natural beauty of Hong Kong's landscapes with the Association for Geoconservation, Hong Kong. Participants assisted in removing graffiti from rocks along the Little Great Wall in Cheung Chau, restoring the natural beauty of this unique area.

The volunteers gained valuable insights into the extent of human impacts on environmental destruction and the necessary measures needed to protect our natural resources. They also learned about the importance of environmental protection and how their actions can have a positive impact on the world around them.
