Annual Report 2012–13

CUHK 50th Anniversary 15 Ô CU50 • CareÕ Programme The University has launched the ‘CU50 • Care’ programme, which encourages all members of the University, including students, staff, alumni and friends, to 50 hours of community service commitments within the jubilee year, assembling their power to contribute to our society. The service focuses on five key areas, namely, the elderly, children, ethnic minority groups, environmental protection and medical and health care. The programme kicked off with a tree planting day held at the Ma On Shan Country Park on 11 May 2013. Prof. Joseph J.Y. Sung, together with 200 students, staff, alumni and their families, carried the seedlings of Hong Kong Gordonia uphill to Luk Chau Shan at the Park to plant them there. In collaboration with Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service, ‘CU50 • Care Campaign’ organized the ‘Dragon Boat Festival Elderly Care Programme’ on 8 June. More than 40 CUHK community members volunteered to visit the elderly living in the Wong Tai Sin District, bringing with them traditional Chinese rice dumplings and gift packs to celebrate the festival with the elderly. The programme teamed up with HKSKH Lady MacLehose Centre to organize a visit to the elderly living at Shek Lei Estate in Kwai Chung on 27 July.
