Hong Kong has been battling with the third wave of COVID-19 outbreak since July. In face of the severe epidemic situation, numerous vulnerable groups are short of personal protective equipment. As such, this Centre has invited students of the I·CARE Social Service Projects Scheme to assist in distributing nearly 5,400 pieces of adult and child surgical masks to five non-governmental organisations from July to September for onward transmission to their service recipients.
The aforementioned surgical masks were donated by Cambridge Surgical Mask Limited. Beneficiaries included residents of sub-divided flats, families living in interim housing units, asylum seekers and homeless people, etc. Amidst the pandemic outbreak, this Centre will keep on securing various health protective gear for distribution to the needy in the community to sustain the ethos of social and civic engagement. |
