About Us
Our Vision
Welcome to the Volunteering department! We organise engaging activities and events targeted at children and teenagers from primary and secondary schools which aim to spread joy while reducing academic and personal stress. We aim to foster a sympathetic community for children in hopes of contributing to their overall wellbeing. Through our continued acts of service and sympathy, we hope to spread awareness amongst the medical students of HKU and CUHK through the inclusive nature of our volunteering activities.
