Spreading Love in the Time of Covid
The Volunteering Challenge aspires to encourage Hub members to dedicate to voluntary services, arouse public awareness of the Hub, and promote the message of community contribution. Participants are free to engage in various types of volunteering services and also serve in selected projects from Hub for the Future In Action, which promotes further connection between members of the Hub.
As the pandemic worsens, many of us start to work from home or attend classes online. Yet as social interactions are put on hold, social needs in the city remain. In fact, the invisible damages brought by the pandemic such as loneliness and anxiety could mean that more people are in need of our help than before..
If you want to lend a helping hand, join the “Hub for the Future In Action – Volunteering Challenge” and spread love in our community!
First Service Session - Virtual Meetup with Children
The first service session marks the beginning of the Hub for the Future – Volunteering Challenge. A virtual meetup with children was held on 5th March 2022.
With the support from Youth Volunteer Network, HKFYG and Full Grace Service Centre, Hub members had fruitful afternoon with a group of children. Participants read interesting English stories aloud and played “The Buyer” together. The children enjoyed practicing oral English with Hub members very much and some parents are already asking if there will be more similar sessions in the future. We can’t wait to meet these children again!
