Voluntary Services and Charity Activities

Interest Classes for the Elderly

Our Volunteer Team organised monthly interest classes for the elderly at Lai Yiu Bradbury Care Home. We interacted with the elderly and worked with them to explore creative ideas in making key holders, lanterns and hand straps.

"Hong Kong Citizen, Hong Kong Heart" Campaign and Elderly Visiting Activities

DSD Volunteer Team joined the "Hong Kong Citizen, Hong Kong Heart" Campaign organised by the Social Welfare Department to make and deliver auspicious gifts with blessing to the elderly. We also collaborated with the working partners and arranged some elderly visiting activities.

"Hong Kong Cleanup" Campaign

Committed to keeping the shorelines clean, our Green Champions and Volunteer Team joined the "Hong Kong Cleanup" Campaign to clean up several coastal beaches in Peng Chau in November 2013.

Apart from the above, we also participated in and supported various charity events and fund-raising activities this year. These included:
