Accompanied by the LandsD Volunteer Team and the volunteers from the Development Bureau, 20 grassroots children aged 6 to 12 from the North District took a docent-led tour to explore the cluster of historic buildings with over 180 years of history at Tai Kwun, allowing them to learn more about the history and cultural heritage of our city. During the tour, the children were particularly interested in the setting of courtrooms in the former Central Magistracy, and could not wait to sit at the magistrate’s chair to experience what it was like to be a judge. When the children were touring around B Hall and D Hall of the former Victoria Prison, their excitement reached fever pitch, with hilarious shouts of “Set me free!” resounding through the halls.

With this year marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the LandsD Volunteer Team took the opportunity to celebrate this meaningful occasion with the children. A special workshop on Chinese-style bamboo-woven handicrafts was organised by HKJC for them to have a taste of the traditional Chinese handicraft of bamboo weaving. With the guidance of the workshop instructor and assistance of the volunteers, the children unleashed their creativity by weaving the bamboo materials into unique patterns of vivid-coloured handicrafts.

The LandsD Volunteer Team has been actively participating in a diverse range of volunteer services to show care for people in need. The Team looks forward to colleagues' continued support to the volunteer services for promoting a caring and harmonious community.
