This month, the 3rd session of "A Walk in Community with I·CARE 2017-18" will take place in Mou Lou Shan Chuen (transliteration) in Tuen Mun District. Our students will be given a chance to interact with the residents of Mou Lou Shan Chuen by assisting "Goods Co-Share" in the sale of groceries and household necessities to them.
"Goods Co-Share" is a social enterprise focusing on poverty alleviation through providing quality and affordable goods like rice, cooking oil, salt, soy sauce and detergent for the less-advantaged families through direct and bulk purchase. The consumers are used to buy on-demand quantity of goods with their own containers. In Tuen Mun, "Goods Co-Share" has maintained a long-lasting relationship with Yan Oi Tong in the areas of promoting volunteer service for Mou Lou Shan Chuen and empower its residents to improve their living standard.
Once the promotion of this activity was rolled out, the response had been overwhelming. Now that all quotas are filled, please stay tuned for the next session which will take you to another district to get the feel of community service.
