Spreading Love to Scavengers 拾荒者送暖探訪大行動

Hong Kong is known for its wealth, yet poverty remain critical challenges in our city. It is common to see scavengers spending hours gathering cardboard and cans just to afford their basic needs. Have you ever paused to consider their daily challenges and feelings? We are recruiting HKUST volunteers to join us in Sham Shui Po to share love, care, and heartfelt support with local scavengers through gift packages. It is a treasurable opportunity to listen their stories and gain a deeper understanding on their needs. Join us to make a positive impact.

香港作為富裕的國際都市，貧富懸殊一直是這座市不容忽視的挑戰。在繁華的街角，不難看見拾荒者在街上執拾紙皮及鋁罐變賣，以維持基本生計。大家有否曾停下腳步，了解他們每日面對的挑戰及感受呢?
我們現正招募科大同學成為義工， 與我們一同在深水埗區向拾荒者送上禮物包，表達關心及支持，並藉著是次機會停下腳步，了解他們的故事及需要。
