Photo 4: To provide quality service, it is essential for our students to understand the community’s needs. Therefore, several community tours were organised to allow students to step into the community and learn about its history and issues. The photo shows a community tour session conducted in English, enabling international students to also understand the history of poverty in the Northern district. 圖四：社區服務要做到優質，必須讓同學了解社區的需要，因此我們舉辦了多場社區深度遊，讓同學親身進入社區，了解社區歷史與面貌。圖為社區深度遊英文場次，讓外藉學生都能了解北區的貧窮歷史。

In the 2023-2024 academic year, Stanley Ho East Asia College has strengthened community service initiatives. The SHEAC House Association and Volunteer Team recruited 30 passionate students to become “core members” of community service projects. They helped launch four service projects to continuously serve minority groups, including the elderly, ethnic minorities, animal care, and college recycling work.
The core members were responsible for community communication, activity planning, promotion, and execution. Over the past year, the College organised 20 community service activities and 41 recycling works, with 372 student participants. They served 435 individuals, cared for 130 animals, and recycled 256kg of materials.
Through continuous learning, understanding community needs, and good preparation, the students accomplished to provide consistent quality service, despite the need of further improvement in various types of professional skills. Throughout the semesters, 19 additional activities were organised to equip the students with helping skills and deepen their understanding of the local community, such as community tours and “Community Guide” training. A total of 309 students participated in these activities.
In the coming year, the College will continue the four service projects, allowing the core members to consistently serve the same groups. Other students are involved in parts of the work through activities coordinated by the core members. Through this experiential learning process, newcomers will become a new force driving the College’s community service efforts.
學習提供優質的社會服務
在2023-2024學年，何鴻燊東亞書院繼續推動多項持續的社會服務。我們透過院生會及書院義工隊，招募有志於社會服務的同學成為核心成員，並透過他們開展四項社區服務，持續服務較弱勢或少數群體，當中包括與祐漢宣道堂合作的長者事工、與印尼移工組織合作的少數族裔事工，與本地動物保護組織合作的動物照料事工，以及在書院內進行回收工作。四個小組的核心成員超過三十人，他們承擔著各項事工的社區聯絡、活動統籌、宣傳及執行工作。
在2023-2024學年，書院合共進行了20次社區服務及41次回收工作，參與服務的同學共372人次，受服務的人次為435名，受照料的動物約130隻，回收量超過256公斤。
雖然書院學生仍在求學階段，未必具備專業的助人技巧及技能。然而，我們相信透過不斷學習、了解社區的需要以及認真籌備工作內容，仍然能為社區帶來優質的服務。因此，在整個學期內，我們另外舉辦了19場多元活動，讓同學裝備助人技巧以及認識本地社區，例如透過社區深度遊及「社區引路人」導賞員培訓，讓參與社會服務的核心成員及書院學生深入了解北區及下環區的發展歷史及面貌，這些活動合共有309名同學參與（人次）。
來年，書院將繼續透過四項服務，讓核心成員持續服務相同群體，亦透過他們統籌的活動，讓書院其他同學參與部份工作，透過這種強調體驗的學習歷程，了解自身感興趣的社會服務，並成為書院社會服務力量的新血。
