Donation Drive of Baked Goods is another student-driven initiative during Covid-19. CIS Alumni joins forces with secondary student groups “CIS Free Clinic” and “Drop in the Ocean” (DITO).
The WHY
In the midst of the global pandemic, the focus has primarily been on the healthcare systems’ capacity (or lack of) and the amount of personal protective equipment available to Hong Kong healthcare workers. What we sometimes overlook are these healthcare workers’ mental wellbeing – how are they coping with the stress and pressure? Are they able to take a break and enjoy the sunshine?
As a gesture of our appreciation, CIS Alumni, CIS Free Clinic and DITO will deliver homemade loaves, muffins and cakes to healthcare workers at the Queen Mary Hospital in Pokfulam next week. In the weeks ahead, we hope to expand our coverage to more hospitals around Hong Kong.
