Here at the Federation we are absolutely convinced that volunteerism is excellent for all the community and we are about to celebrate its positive effects. "To Serve with Love" Music Marathon, coming up on Saturday 3 December in Hong Kong Park, will be an all-day extravaganza with singers, celebrities and several thousand young volunteers sharing their music and personal volunteering experience. The music itself will also reflect the theme of the day and a major appeal is underway for volunteers of all ages to pledge service hours.

The Heart to Heart volunteer project, has already taken off with over 60 companies and nearly 150 schools signed up. They will be given awards at the marathon and young Federation volunteers will receive the recognition they deserve. The figures say it all: over 90,000 registered members gave almost 600,000 hours of service last year. They are truly Hong Kong's pride.

Chief Secretary, Rafael Hui Si-yan, GBS JP, will be the Guest of Honour at the Music Marathon which is supported by the Social Welfare Department, the Leisure & Cultural Services Department, RTHK and RoadShow with generous sponsorship from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.
All who want to sign a pledge for just 10 hours' volunteering please call VNET's hotline, 2169 0032 any time till 3 December. Call the same number to register your school or company for Heart to Heart.
