Volunteers serving as reading buddies for children

Ronald McDonald House Charities launched the "Read the World" program to arouse children's interest towards English reading at a young age through dynamic school-based English reading sessions led by well-trained Reading Buddies. For the less privileged students, the program also provided them access and resources in English learning. HKUST students were invited to be Reading Buddies to stimulate children's interest in reading and encourage independent reading and sharing during the reading sessions.
