ITU
Telecom World Youth Forum:
Fifty Federation Volunteers
at work
|
|
Lives are changed through
volunteering, both in the community and at large scale events
in the city. Fifty members of the HKFYG volunteer network (VNET)
are serving youth delegates at this week's ITU Telecom
World 2006 at Asia World-Expo. They are trained
how to plan and organize, make best use of interpersonal and
communication skills and
ensure that overseas participants find their feet and feel
at home. What better preparation for life's challenges could
there be. |
Volunteering
is a fundamental act of citizenship and a generous offer
of time and energy. The Federation encourages as many young
people as possible to get involved. Last weekend, we celebrated
International Volunteer Day by giving recognition to our
volunteers. The Youth Volunteer Network (VNET), has accumulated
3,400,000 hours of service since it began in 1998. This
year for example, we have 185 schools in HKFYG's Heart
to Heart Project with 65 companies
working voluntarily at their side. They all send the message
that
giving is fulfilling and rewarding.
We want to reinforce that message.
