Way Forward

Year of 2007 is coming, the Steering Committee wishes for a remarkable growth in volunteering. We will also promote family volunteering in order to extend the warmth and impetus of family life to everyone in Hong Kong. Many families have already become volunteers. These experienced families can lead by examples to encourage the participation of more relatives and neighbours. For those who haven't, please seize the opportunity to become one to contribute to our society.
