"Street Care, Happy Share" is a 3-session service project initiated by a team of Connect ACE for homeless people in Hong Kong. Through 3 visits to Tung Chau Street Park in Sham Shui Po, the project is intended to provide basic necessities and spread love and care to street sleepers.

In the program, HKUST volunteers distributed daily necessities and emergency kits, and shared access to free services with homeless people. During the second visit, the student volunteers played chess and had fun with them together. Throughout the three visits, students chatted with street sleepers in Sham Shui Po and learnt more about their situation and needs. They have also learnt more about the challenges faced by homeless people in Hong Kong while spreading love and care to them.
