地點：香港中文大學
孩子是我們未來社會的棟樑，照顧他們，讓他們有一個健康的成長是每一個人的責任。而在社區裡的弱勢社羣，特別是有特殊需要的孩子也是應該被受關注的，因此我們的團體很希望能盡一分綿力，透過週末舉辦兒童活動或遊戲，給予 SOCOs 低收入家庭及有特別需要的孩子和家長 ── 心義行（沙田區）一些幫助和支援。
我們的團體是一群學生，也是合乎資格的幼稚園老師，我們希望透過往後一連串的活動，把我們學會的理論和教學經驗加以實踐。
在我們的活動當中，有著提升孩子各方面的活動，例如：音樂、體能、藝術等。我們希望能給予孩子和家長一個互相分享和放鬆的平臺，而家長亦能透過這些非正式的聚會建立自己的社交網絡，從而認識更多背景相似的家庭。

締造可持續發展的義補項目 ──（透過科技） 傑科 V1
主辦學院／學系／學生組織：中大同學
預計中大參加同學人數：43
地點：香港

Smartcheck 不是用以代替現有的「一對一」義補服務，而是讓義補服務能衝破其既有限制，令更多學生受益，因遙距補習能解決義工和學生面對的空間問題。除了功課輔導外，此電話程式亦能幫助聯繫義工和學童的關係。另外，它也能解決義補機構因要處理空間問題而加重的成本。

斯里 · 思你 ── 衛生由你做起
主辦學院／學系／學生組織：中大同學
預計中大參加同學人數：24
地點：斯里蘭卡
本計劃讓參加者到訪斯里蘭卡加勒進行十五天義工服務，當中的活動以「環境及個人衛生」為主題。
隨著工業化趨勢，近年加勒的廢物排放及處置問題越趨嚴重，當地每天排放多達 50.9 噸廢物，遠超政府廢物處理系統的吸納容量。由於當地人民缺乏廢物處理知識，他們習慣隨便棄置或自行焚燒廢物，而這將長遠對斯里蘭卡的環境衛生及人民健康帶來負面影響。部分斯里蘭卡人已被發現懷疑因廢物焚燒問題而出現呼吸道疾病。有見及此，我們希望通過教育向當地人民灌輸廢物處理知識，包括重用及回收廢物等。在是次計劃中，我們將會舉辦一連串與廢物處理、環境保護及個人衛生相關的活動和工作坊，希望藉此提升當地人民對衛生及健康的關注。
由於是次為醫學院院會第二度到加勒進行義工服務，我們希望繼往開來，一方面繼承去年的部分活動以確保服務的持續性，另一方面通過新活動達至本年度提升加勒環境及個人衛生的目標。
與往年主題、形式、地點相同的活動包括：
在當地中學進行基本急救及個人衛生知識工作坊
在智障兒童小學進行義教*
社區健康檢查
本年度新增的活動包括：
在當地中學進行環保教育工作坊
到老人院進行探訪*
到孤兒院進行探訪*
到弱勢女子庇護中心進行探訪
家居探訪及需求評估
關愛 · 無邊界
主辦學院／學系／學生組織：中大同學
預計中大參加同學人數：15
地點：香港
這個項目旨在促進香港尋求庇護者的福祉。他們因戰爭、家庭暴力、政治和宗教壓迫而尋求庇護。自一九九二年，香港簽署了聯合國禁止酷刑公約，並承諾為他們提供臨時的容身之所。儘管他們身處香港這個大城市，其基本需求仍然遠遠未能滿足，且承受非常大的生活壓力。一方面，他們不能工作，只能依靠非常有限的財政援助。另一方面，難民申請的接受率每年只有低於百分之一。更重要的是，他們被社會大眾邊緣化，甚至被政黨及傳媒污名化。在這種情況下，我們為他們提供語言課程，教授他們中文以進行日常交流；我們還為他們提供戶外活動，讓他們接觸本地文化。我們的最終目標是抒緩他們的壓力，拓寬視野，讓他們重新融入社會，這正正是人類基本的人權和福祉。

Estimated number of CUHK students involved: 19
Project Location: The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Children are our future. The saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. It is everyone’s responsibility to taking care of our ‘future’ especially to those less fortunate. Our group is very happy to be able to reach the target groups: the children who are underprivileged and children with special education needs (SEN), namely ‘SOCOs community’ and ‘Love V Act’ in Shatin District.
As we are a group of undergraduate students in the early childhood education program, we hope to make our contribution by supporting and enhancing children’s learning experience with our knowledge and skills. Our mission of this project is to better the society and support these groups of children. We would take the advantage of the space in CU campus, and effectively use the resources we have acquired.
It is our wish to benefit children and their caregivers. The student volunteers will facilitate and organize activities to children such as exploring art materials, music and movement, and science activities etc. to promote physical, cognitive, social and emotional and aesthetic development. Their caregivers also will be provided a place for gathering, sharing and relaxing while they are waiting for their children. Parents can build their social network through the informal setting. In the future, we may also consider organizing activities for parents.
DM Day
Organising Colleges / Faculties / Student Associations: CUHK students
Estimated number of CUHK students involved: 50
Project Location: Hong Kong
DM day is a public knowledge transfer event for diabetic mellitus that aims to reach out to Hong Kong residents and educate them about diabetes and how to prevent the disease, especially the high-risk groups. We have identified two major high-risk groups, be it: the aged and children. The older adult group is prone to diabetes as the body deteriorates and their body becomes less sensitive to insulin. As for the children population, we see a gap in terms of health education and the unhealthy lifestyle of children, reflected in the increase in obese children over the years. There are several ways to eliminate or reverse the risk factors for diabetes, and we hope that through educating our target population in DM day, we can help prevent the increase in the number of diabetes cases. Ultimately we want to prevent the disease from happening, prevent the disease from progressing for the diabetic patients, and to prevent the disease from becoming a future burden for the society.

Smartcheck would not replace “one on one” tuition but to extend the tuition beyond time and space constraint. It enables remote tutoring which would transcend the physical availability of the volunteers and students. Both parties could do it remotely and maintain the same tutor-student relationship throughout the school years and beyond. Lastly, it would improve the management of the volunteers and supervising the progress of with each students with ease.

Combining classes and outside activities, Tassel aims to expand the children’s horizons and deepen their understanding and interest in knowledge. What Tassel also wants to tell the children is that knowledge is not limited in books and classes, because there are much more things to experience in the outside world. What’s more, we will try every method to help those children deal with their difficulties in life and teach them how to behave well. Additionally, we will seek for different ways to get in touch with children’s parents and teachers so that we can have the chance to make further impact on them. In general, Tassel hopes to make the children’s lives better and better in the bustling city.

The purpose of this Academy is to empower FDWs through teaching of photography skills and heightening of gender awareness in relations to their personhood. Image is a powerful channel to represent oneself. Through photography, we hope our FDWs participants can open up a new field of interest, gain self-confidence, attain a set of useful skills, and let their voice be heard.
In addition to the hard skills, the gender issue workshops aim at giving a gender perspective to the FDWs on their exploration of identity and life. Highlighting relationship between gender and self, family, work, religion and body, we hope the FDWs can reflect on the extent to which their personhood is shaped and molded by their womanhood, so as to understand the rights and options they have in life. It is also a platform for communication and mutual understanding between Filipina, Indonesians and local students.

The second milestone is a free health screening focused on specific needs in this community such as cervical screening and breast exams, in collaboration with organizations such as PathFinders and Hong Kong Women Doctors Association. This health screening will screen and help identify any potential health problems, in addition to providing one-on-one education and general health counselling to the participants. Follow-ups with specialist doctors will be available via our self-established network of pro-bono doctors.
Fujia 2017~2018 Wuhan Seed Program
Organising Colleges / Faculties / Student Associations: Fujia
Estimated number of CUHK students involved: 10
Project Location: Wuhan
SEED program was first initiated by Fujia in 2013 and it was successfully held in Xinzhou, Wuhan of Hubei Province these years. The program aims at concerning the left-behind children in mainland China, and providing high quality voluntary service for the left-behind children in the target area--Wuhan. We will hold a summer camp in Xinji Primary School which lasts for two weeks in order to provide the children with colourful after-class activities this year.
The problem of left-behind children is one of the widely concerned social problems which appeared because the economic development of different regional is imbalance. SEED program focuses on the educational problem of the left-behind children and try to raise the people’s awareness of this problem. Also we provide good opportunity for CUHK student to take part in the voluntary work.
Last year, 22 volunteers from HKU and CUHK succeed in providing diverse courses for left-behind children. This year, we will continue our journey to serve the left-behind children in Xinji and Jiujie primary school. In this year, we not only have colourful after-class activities, but the home visit will be also carried out in order to find more details of the left-behind children’s situation. We also will set up a database of the left-children based on our research and provide a research report after our service. We strongly believe that 2018 SEED program will perform much better than past years and will be regarded as the strategic shift of our service program.

Nepal Medical Service Trip: Project Namtar 3
Organising Colleges / Faculties / Student Associations: CUHK students
Estimated number of CUHK students involved: 11
Project Location: Nepal
The Nepal Community Health Project (Project Namtar) is one of Medical Outreachers’ long term project. Previous phases of the project identified various health gaps. Medical Outreachers brought about interventions and continuous evaluation targeting the identified issues in previous biannual visits. However, certain health issues are yet to be corrected.
We hope to create behavioral change and give correct concepts about health, so we would introduce a health education curriculum and conduct lessons on relevant topics at 3 local primary schools and 3 secondary schools. To facilitate the use of existing health services, we would organize a health camp to offer free health checks and health promotion talks. To further assess health-needs and correct health misconceptions, we would also participate in household visits. We aim to empower the local community to become self-sufficient. Therefore, we would be participating in trainings for local teachers on our health topics.
Through serving the local community, we also hope our participants can develop a global awareness on health, especially as we are expanding our project this year to a new village, Kalikatar, where our volunteers can reach out to more people living in underdeveloped regions with various health needs.

Estimated number of CUHK students involved: 11
Project Location: Cambodia
This year’s summer project will be carried out in both Sanlong Leab Primary School and Popot Primary School from 24th May to 7th July 2018. Sanlong Leab Primary School is involved in our previous service while the latter is our new target group. For Sanlong Leab Primary School, it is observed that students and their family members have insufficient knowledge towards common diseases. Also, it is found that Popot Primary School has insufficient handwashing stations. Construction of handwashing stations will be provided to the school by the construction team (A) complemented with corresponding topics in health education by the health education team (B).
In order to prevent health education from being one-off and improve its sustainability, we would continue last year’s initiative of long-term health education and intervention in Sanlong Leab. Apart from tracking the progress of the health club that is now operating, we would continue to work with the teachers at Sanlong Leab Primary School. We would also investigate ways to reproduce the results in Popot Primary School and to transfer knowledge to the teachers there with the help of teachers at Sanlong Leab Primary School.

Hygiene is the Key, a Better Sri Lanka to See
Organising Colleges / Faculties / Student Associations: CUHK students
Estimated number of CUHK students involved: 24
Project Location: Sri Lanka
The 15-day service trip to Galle, Sri Lanka is based on the theme ‘Environmental and Personal Hygiene’.
Due to rapid urbanization, the waste generation and management problems in Galle, Sri Lanka have been worsening. The city generates 50.9 tons of solid waste per day, which is unable to be addressed by the current municipal solid waste management system. Due to the lack of knowledge, Sri Lankans openly dump or burn garbage, which causes harm on both the environment and their health. Some Sri Lankans are found to have health problems like breathing difficulties. We believe that the waste problem should be uprooted by continuous education on proper waste handling methods, including to reuse and recycle wastes. Therefore, we would hold a series of theme-based activities and workshops regarding wastes, environmental friendliness and personal hygiene in the service trip, in the hope of increasing Sri Lankans’ awareness of hygiene and health.
As the second trip of Medical Society’s service project in Galle Sri Lanka, we would build on the past initiatives of humanitarian care to ensure the sustainability of the services, as well as to achieve our new objectives on environmental and personal hygiene.
The activities with the same objectives, formats, and venues as last years are:
First-aid and personal hygiene workshops conducted in local secondary schools
Voluntary teaching in a local primary school for disabled children*
A community health check
The new activities designed this year are:
An environmentally friendly educational workshop in a local secondary school
A visit to a local elder’s home*
A visit to a local orphanage*
A visit to a shelter centre for teenage girls who have been violently or sexually abused
A home visit and needs assessment
