My company organized some company events with Handson Hong Kong . The first even I joined was to spend half day with mentally disabled students . it’s my first time to get in touch with the organization and especially the kids. I was impressed by how it was organized and I built good relationship with the kids. I started enrolling more off line volunteer events from Handson.

The thoughts I had at the beginning was to do something good to the society . I am given a lot from the society , family and friends . I would feel happy If I could devote some to help others’ growth . I believe that I got more from the volunteers job than I expected . I am blessed .
