Huangshan Service Learning Trip (June 2014)

Huangshan Service Learning Trip has been initiated since June 2011.  This was the fourth time that HKUST volunteers continue their effort in serving the primary school children in Huangshan, Anhui Province, China. Supported by the HKUST Connect and sponsored by a private donation, 20 students together with 2 staff provided basic science teaching classes and interactive workshops with various themes for Primary 1 to 5 children at the Huangshanqu Sankou Zhongxin Xuexiao (黃山區三口中心學校小學部) and a village school Wangjiaqiao Xiaoxue (汪家橋小學). Also, volunteers visited local families to show them our care and understand the lifestyle and difficulties of the local people in rural China.

Before serving the children in Huangshan, our volunteers attended pre-trip workshops to prepare their teaching materials, and also to learn about how to interact with children effectively. After the 6-day service learning trip, our volunteers fostered friendship with the local children and each of them had a happy memory in Huangshan.
