With a generous donation from Chau Hoi Shuen Foundation and the support of the Sha Tin District Council, CUHK 'Love Your Neighbour Service Learning Programme' held a carnival in Sha Tin Park on 15 March. CUHK students and beneficiaries of the programme surrounded Shing Mun River hand in hand to form the letter 'L', denoting 'Love', and spreading the message of mutual support and care in the community. CUHK students, the social service agencies and beneficiaries of the programme also arranged a number of performances, health talks and game booths in the carnival to bring joy and fun to the local community.

Officiating at the opening ceremony were Mr. Ho Hau-cheung, chairman of the Sha Tin District Council; Ms. Ho Lai-sheung, Sha Tin District Officer; Dr. Katherine Lo, representative of Chau Hoi Shuen Foundation; and Prof. Joseph J.Y. Sung, CUHK Vice-Chancellor and co-chairmen of the programme's steering committee; and the Reverend Prof. Lo Lung-kwong, director, Divinity School of Chung Chi College.
