Human Resources Office teamed up with a group of volunteers to bring a warm and joyful afternoon to our neighborhood at Tseung Kwan O Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wong Second Lutheran Home for the Elderly on July 26.
We did some physical and cognitive activities like rock-paper-scissors, ball passing and stretching exercises. Singing Cantonese pop songs from their era was their favourite and they sang loudly!
We highly appreciate the volunteers from CMO, DBM, GECO, HRO, HSEO, ITSC and SUST who selflessly shared their time and energy. They demonstrated the power of LOVE and elevated the brand name of HKUST.
They shared that they enjoyed the event as much as the elderly and felt revitalized and fulfilled. They felt great of having other colleagues as companions and doing something for others. Their feedback is a testimonial of “When we share love, we feel loved too.” Compassion is reciprocal, it is beautiful.
Everyone is welcome to take Special Leave to participate in social service, to enhance own well-being and make a meaningful impact on society.
