Cross-city Volunteering in Chengdu

One of our objectives is to serve the community and strengthen connections between our Hong Kong and Mainland China Community Ambassadors. In mid-June 2019, 48 Community Ambassadors participated in Habitat for Humanity’s “Global Village Building Project” in Chengdu.

The team first travelled to a remote village in Lezhi County near Chengdu for two days of hard but fulfilling work-building homes for those in need. Moving construction materials, mixing cement and laying bricks, our team worked on two houses for two local families. The team also taught English at a local school and “art jammed” with young children at the Chengdu Community Centre. They engaged with 138 primary school students and helped build two houses. Our Chief Executive made a surprise visit to support the Community Ambassadors.
