“Hong Kong Age-venture” Volunteer Service
On 4 and 18 December, 15 students participated in “Hong Kong Age-venture” volunteer service as part of “Hong Kong 200” Leadership Project organised by The HKFYG Leadership Institute.
At H.K.S.K.H. Chuk Yuen Canon Martin District Elderly Community Centre, students took the elderly people on a virtual reality (VR) vacation. They ‘travelled’ to various famous Hong Kong attractions including the Central Market and Tai Kwun, and shared their life stories about Hong Kong. The virtual tour videos were filmed and produced by our students, with the aim of creating an immersive experience for the elderly and promoting inter-generational solidarity. The elderly’s active participation and their interest in travelling and new technologies were very heartening and encouraging for our students. Our students will continue to bring the excitement of travel to the elderly and spread the spirit of sharing and caring.
