Volunteers teaching the service recipients to make craft using clay

A group of Connect ACEs inspired other student volunteers to serve the mentally-challenged adults. They organized four workshops including painting, drama, cooking and visit a supermarket to enhance the service recipients' motor coordination. Both the service recipients and the volunteers enjoyed the fun time together. After the four sessions, our students had a better understanding of the daily life of mentally-challenged people and learned to appreciate other people more.
