Hiking with the Elderly

HKUST collaborated with the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Fong Shu Chuen District Elderly Community Centre to connect HKUST students with the elderly for another hike along the Ma On Shan Country Trail.

During the hike, HKUST volunteers and the elderly had a great time getting to know each other better through exchanging stories about their daily lives and hobbies. The service opportunity facilitated inter-generational communication, and encouraged people to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle regardless of their age and stages in life.
