The SHKP volunteer team uses its corporate expertise to serve the community, while providing care to those in need through various voluntary projects. Even when the projects end, the friendships between the volunteers and beneficiaries last for years. While the volunteers continue to develop new voluntary services, they also organized a reunion with the elderly who benefitted from previous voluntary projects, showing their continuing love and care.

Reuniting with the beneficiary elderly under the Redevelopment of Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate – Old Friends Reunion activity

During 2007 and 2009, the volunteers provided one-stop move-in support for the elderly affected by the redevelopment of Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate. Recently, they met the beneficiaries again by chance, and the volunteers immediately decided to organize the Redevelopment of Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate – Old Friends Reunion activity to reunite with the beneficiary elderly who had benefitted from the voluntary projects held over a decade ago.

Despite the fact that the appearance and situations of the volunteers and beneficiaries had changed over the past 14 years, their friendship remained strong. At the reunion, a beneficiary grandmother brought along an album of countless old photos taken with the volunteers to reminisce about the past. The grandmother expressed her gratitude for the assistance provided by the volunteers. Although it was a pity that time flies, everyone was grateful that they had made these friendships in the good old days. Although it was only a half-day event with interactive games and opportunities for sharing, everyone could easily return to the old familiar feeling. In the end, the volunteers gave their old friends gift bags and sent them home, for a heartwarming end to the day.

 

Taking part in the Diamond Hill Kai Chuen Court Water–Lively Estate programme

The SHKP volunteer team also provides a floor tiling service for older singletons and couples, and families with special needs who are preparing to relocate to Kai Chuen Court in Diamond Hill. Thanks to years of practice in voluntary projects over the past years, the volunteers have developed professional skills, completing the floor tiling service for 30 households in just two days.
