Acting Financial Secretary Prof KC Chan has commended Service Corps volunteers for their work in Shaoguan and Meizhou in Guangdong.
The volunteers were sent to primary and secondary schools in the towns to provide teaching assistance to preschool, primary and junior secondary students, and to organise extracurricular activities.
Prof Chan presented 13 volunteers with completion-of-service certificates today.
Secretary for Home Affairs Lau Kong-wah encouraged them to share with their friends their Mainland experience to inspire more young Hong Kong people to take part in voluntary services on the Mainland.
Nearly 110 youths have participated in the first six phases of the programme since its launch in 2011, which provides financial support for people aged 18 to 29 to serve in remote Mainland areas.
