SHHO
Voluntary Service
Team
The SHHO Voluntary Service Team is
of the organsations under the College
Student Union, aiming to offer students
opportunities to serve society. We
hope to encourage students to care for
society and serve the underprivileged
communi t i e s, a s we ll a s nu r t u re
member s’ communi t y awa rene s s
and sense of civic responsibility. To
facilitate cross-generation and cross-
class integration, the Voluntary Service
Team regularly collaborates with the
Sage Madam Ho Sin Hang Home for
the Elderly and other charities or non-
profit organisations and arranges
activities such as visits to the Home
for the Elderly, the children village and
granges. In the coming year, the SHHO
Voluntary Service Team will organise
a range of ac tivities, including a
voluntary tutoring and paired reading
programme, visits to the homeless, a
charity bazaar of desserts, and a day
trip around CUHK that lets the elderly
folks have a taste of being university
students. We hope that participants
can have a better understanding of the
underprivileged through a diversity
of voluntary experiences, and that
integration of society can be achieved
as social labeling are eliminated
through personal contact.

initiated student association that doesn’t belong

service tours are like the sun – no matter how
heavy the rain is, the sun hiding temporarily
behind the clouds will still bring hope.
