Shaoguan service trip

Organizer: CUHK Business School and Shaoguan University

Sharing by GLEF students

 

“If you ask me what encourages me to attend this service trip to teach children living in the village in mainland, I would probably answer that, ‘A child without education is like a bird without wings.’

The students we taught are of far different background from us.
Although we could not do much in the lessons to ameliorate their situation, we could broaden their horizon during the time.
Through this service trip, I realized how fortunate we are to be undergraduate students and to be provided with advanced learning system.

- Rachel CHAN

 

“Wishing to get along with new friends, hoping to explore more about the Mainland and aspiring to serve the unfortunate in the community, all these become the driving force for me to join the Shaoguan service trip.
I am thankful to all individuals I met during the trip.
The highlight of the journey must be volunteer teaching in a local secondary school.
Since the trip, I find myself obliged to serve the less fortunate one in our world. - Kelly LAU
