The corporate volunteer team of NWS Holdings, NWS Volunteer Alliance, has visited Guangzhou to celebrate its seventh anniversary and also to serve the community together with the corporate volunteer team of New World China, NWCL Volunteers.
A total of 34 members of NWS Volunteer Alliance collaborated with the NWCL Volunteers, paid visits to elderly residents in Fengyuan Street in Liwan District of Guangzhou under the sponsorship of The Neighborhood Advice-Action Council. The volunteers noted their needs and presented them a gift pack containing a blanket, handkerchiefs and low-sugar food; while another group of volunteers stayed at the elderly peoples' homes where they enjoyed their time with the senior citizens. Volunteers from NWS Volunteer Alliance and NWCL Volunteer shared their experiences after the event.
The Guangzhou visit was memorable as it was a celebration of the seventh anniversary of NWS Volunteer Alliance and the second anniversary of NWCL Volunteers. Maria Cheung, assistant general manager of corporate communication of NWS Holdings, presented awards to the members of NWS Volunteer Alliance who recorded the highest number of hours served last year.
The NWS Volunteer Alliance consists of more than 1,400 members comprising staff and their associates and has devoted over 44,684 hours in community service up to now.
