About the Programme
Can you envisage how desperate it would be if you were placed into an abyss of despair where you no longer have a shelter among your head? In our hustling and bustling society, the street sleepers have constantly been neglected, if not completely ignored. If you have the slightest impulse to lend a benevolent hand to those abandoned walks of life, you mustn't miss this exceptional opportunity to join us in "Together, We Wander"! Thus making a sustainable impact to raise the awareness of the homeless to all walks of lives.
Alliancing with three other universities, you would be able to contribute your day in exchange for some heart-warming faces on the discriminated stakeholders in our society while meeting new friends from a wide spectrum of universities (HKBU x CCC CUHK x PolyU x HKU) !
So don’t hesitate! Join us NOW!
