I joined 2 HandsOn HK volunteer sessions to help tutor/talk with refugee children. Originally signed up for 2 sessions, signed up for 2 more because it was quite enjoyable.

We also had a meeting with Chatteris CEO Ben Weetman to talk about how we could collab and help them out. In the end, we agreed to help write some survey questions to help Chatteris better understand the students' interests so they can create more engaging sessions.

We fundraised over $400 to donate to Feeding HK by doing a fundraiser. This fundraiser consisted of a big jar of candy, of which students around the school had to guess the exact amount. By the end of this fundraiser, we raised a lot of money, of which we donated all of it to Feeding HK.

We went to tutors and presented our issue which is plastic waste, while we were presenting we made a game to help the Y7s listen and understand the issue of plastic waste after we finished our presentation we got some feedback which would help improve our game about decomposition( a game to figure out about which plastic item would decompose in the sea first) and add more deeper context to the slideshow and game.

We posted pictures around social media, raised awareness about poverty, are giving out food to poor/homeless people on the 3rd of June, Saturday. We also informed our neibourhood places about this and they contributed us to donating to Kiva.org. Kiva.org is a NGO which gives out small loans to people in poverty for them to get out of poverty and have their own business for a living.

For this project we went to Amitabar to distribute food to the elderly and the homeless.

In order to do this, we had to accumulate a large sum of money to distribute a lot of food. Therefore, we had to organize a Fundraiser. As a group we resorted to selling stickers to people across all years. At the end of the fundraising event, we managed to collect $764 dollars. Then on the 26th of May we went to Amitabar(near Whampoa) and bought boxes of food to distribute. In total we distributed to at least 50 people in need.

We have used Instagram to advocate to people who are not only in KGV but all around, hoping to spread the most awareness possible. While we have gained some followers, we didn't think that this was enough, so we posted our posters around the school, hoping to allow people to understand more about rescue dogs, and how to foster and take care of them. In addition, we posted small mail boxes around the school for people to write their feelings towards dogs to show sympathy and understanding towards the situation of most dogs. one note = one happy dog.

# data[].attributes.body
We collected donations of daily necessities (eg toilet rolls + packaged food) from students to donate to the homeless community. Our drive was promoted through a point system where donators could ask for custom art pieces. We have successfully transported all the donations to ImpactHK's community centre.

On the 28th we attended the clean up of the Nim Shue Wan beach organized by Plastic Free Seas and Handson HK.

Because of tides, trash from the oceans are frequently carried onto shore and stay there. This isn't ideal for the locals or visitors going to the beach as they are not able to make a difference by themselves. It is only with organized beach clean ups with volunteers that these beaches don't turn into landfills. Thank you Plastic Free Seas!

For our community project, we decided to focus mainly on a google site for students that contained a lot of information and ways to help out our planet and take action. We also had an instagram account to show information and help advocate on a different platform. Not only that, but we stuck up some posters around school and tried bringing people’s attention and to our issue as much as possible.

Firstly, we spread some fast fashion facts and how to donate clothing to our own communities (family, friends, etc.) We then collected clothing from them adding on with some unused clothing of ours and donated to clothing donation boxes from Redress and the government.

p.s. We also achieved completing our advocacy plan. insta: @ltm.hao_ (we will explain more under the advocacy section)

This is our event which was held at the piazza during breaks. We used secondhand plastic/unneeded plastic to create our project which is simulating a bird, seal etc. hunting for fish in a sea full of plastic. The goal was to find the phone case/fish as fast as possible, and depending on the time you get you get a specific prize. We then tried to teach a lesson on recycling plastic which they could start doing using the prizes they received. We were able to fundraise more than our goal which is great.

# data[].attributes.body
After we collected plastic for our event, we went to recycle the plastic at a reverse vending machine. This vending machine takes in the plastic, and in return gives you a bit of money. I suggest people who use plastic to recycle your plastic after use at a reverse vending machine because it's beneficial for both you and the community.

This is our Instagram account @sea_recover where we advocate our issue of plastic in the sea. We have been using this account to post detailed information on this issue such as the causes and consequences, how you can help etc. Please check it out :)

My group is focusing on poverty so we used the boxes from my previous actions to spread advocacy in KGV. As seen in the photo we stacked up 20 boxes, and on top of the boxes there are different types of info and pictures. The pictures are extremely meaningful as students in KGV could know more about the topic just by pulling out their phones and scanning the QR code to excess our Instagram page that we made. The boxes are from an NGO in HK called Peace Box. Peace Box is an NGO collecting daily accessories like books, hygienic items, and different kinds of food. The aim of stacking the boxes inside the lrc is to spread awareness to people who know less about this significant problem. Furthermore, it would be great if students could sacrifice their own toys or books to help support the NGO.

# data[].attributes.body
We did a lot today. Firstly, when school ended we had to go to Tsuen Wan Mall which was the location of the event. Immediately, we were introduced to the directors and the participants of the event. They swiftly informed us how we would have to stack boxes, tape them together and stack them in the correct formation to make the word “Grow”. It was quite difficult in the beginning, but we quickly got the hang of things and got a good rhythm going. We contributed for roughly 1-2 hours and left a massive impact on the project. As you might have anticipated, the entire procedure was extremely challenging, but with the assistance of over 100 community members, we were able to complete everything in three and a half hours. We had the opportunity to participate in the process by creating boxes and placing gifts inside of them as well as learn how to communicate successfully with the workers. The event organizer gave a speech at the conclusion of the whole thing, complimenting us on our work and encouraging us to return the following time for the stacking box event.

For one of our actions, we chose to project a movie in the gym about refugees to spread awareness to people (all ages) in our school. The plot follows the life story of teenage Syrian refugees Yusra Mardini and her sister Sarah Mardini, who swam alongside a sinking dinghy of refugees to lighten it, and eventually help 18 refugees to reach safety across the Aegean Sea while being smuggled from İzmir towards Lesbos. It was an extremely inspiring and motivating movie! Key messages that were advocated in this movie were:

1. Before seeking refuge, life is normal
2. The journey to safety starts with goodbyes
3. Transportation is often risky and dangerous
4. Accepting help from others is a gamble
5. Living quarters are overcrowded
6. Not everyone is welcoming

As a part of our indirect action, we helped pack boxes with the NGO FEEDHK. Our group member, Niyati, is helping pack and the other two members (Steffi and Heer) are helping arrange the cardboard boxes which food is delivered on. This experience really helped built an insight on how an NGO successfully works and how everything is arranged for the food to actually reach the community.

Our group recently took part in a campaign to increase mental health awareness. We wanted to make a difference in our community and understood the need of drawing awareness to this sometimes stigmatized and ignored problem. In order to accomplish this, we made posters that emphasized the significance of mental health awareness while also offering a few basics on the subject. Then, in an effort to start a discussion and inspire others to learn more about mental health, we sent this text to our classmates. By performing this slight action, we aim to be a part of a broader movement that de-stigmatizes mental illness and helps those who may be experiencing mental health problems.

We did a fundraiser to raise awareness to ocean pollution. It was a success because we successfully sold our ocean related products and made $1300. When customer bought something from our stall, we told them about how harmful ocean pollution is to the sea animals, a lot of sea animals died or suffered due to the plastic pollution from human. Hopefully our advice of stop littering and stop using plastic products will help.

I went to Catherine's puppies to help out with the dogs by feeding them and giving them more water. I also just hung out with the dogs and entertained them. We raised a lot of money to donate to Catherine and the dogs so that she can buy more food for them and make sure she has enough money to take more dogs in that need a home. We all went to a shelter on different days in order to help more places at once, because you really only needed one person for this job.

I made a google site so that I can write down the information of the organization that I have worked with which was Feeding HK. I also wrote down the exact steps on what I did to donate food at Feeding HK. I gathered most of my information from the Feeding HK website as they had a place which allowed us to learn about the situation better.

# data[].attributes.body
I performed two actions which is the both direct and the indirect action. I did this so that I can get more information on how the community functions and how we were able to help the people in need. I gave stuff that was very easy to prepare and lasted at least half a year or a whole year. I got flavored noodles, non-flavored noodles and some soup as they lasted long and the person who got this would be able to experience wide range of flavors. The people in the organization was kind as they asked me if they want a picture taken so that I can use this as an evidence for my work and allowed me to take some pictures in the Feeding HK food bank which I then used on my google slides.

As part of our indirect action, we donated supplies we collected from our neighbourhoods. These supplies included: Tooth brushes & pastes, hair brushes, toiletries, canned food, toys, lip balm & oils, and more! We managed to collect over 40 items to donate to a refugee union which is a refugee -led centre in Hong Kong which supports other refugees. Once they recieved our parcel they took this image and sent it to us!

On May 14th, we participated in a beach cleanup with Hong Kong Cleanup x Ocean Conservancy. There was approximately 11 people, including us, who came to the beach cleanup. The area in Silverstrand beach that we cleaned up was at the rocky area near the coast rather than the sandy area, which is cleaned by the government. The team we went with supplied us with materials such as gloves, tongs, and trash bags. We were there for an hour before it started raining heavily. In the end, everyone who participated in the cleanup managed to get a total of 26 bags full of trash, which each bag was around 5kg each. It was a great experience.

# data[].attributes.body
We wanted to inform people more about refugees, their struggles and challenges. As a result, we created an instagram page all about it! Often, we would post statistics & images and we would update all our actions on our account as well! We managed to recieve over 120 followers in 20 days!
