This year we showcase 6 projects that are organised by the students. These are not credit-bearing subjects; but projects that are either spurned off service-learning subjects, or are otherwise organised by students themselves.
On of them is Heartfire. They have been organising volunteer teaching projects in various far away places in Mainland China for many years now. It is particularly popular among students from Mainland China. They have been particularly successful in retaining graduates and building an organization.
Another team focuses on helping handicapped children and young people in Yunnan province. One young man in a wheelchair was stuck in his home because of a small step at the front door. The team built a ramp so that be can get out. The team also designed many other equipment and procedures for him so that we can gradually rebuild his strength and mobility. The stories are very touching
The Tech4D team was spurned off our service-learning subject that went to Cambodia. As the name hints at, this team aims to use technology to enhance development in under-privileged communities. They have installed solar panels, built learning centers, designed STEM learning tools, and many other innovative solutions. They have also been able to engage graduates.
There are several other exciting projects. Come and have a look.
This is also a recruitment drive. Every years some students graduate and others may not be able to continue. We need new blood to help these projects to continue to develop. Come and have a look, and join something challenging, exciting and meaningful.
