Mid-Autumn Celebration & Birthday Party for Paediatric Patients
(31 August 2002)

To bring joy of Mid-Autumn Festival to the patients at the Paediatric Wards of Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, volunteers of NWS Volunteer Alliance helped decorate the wards and performed balloon twisting on 31 August 2002. A party was also held for celebrating the birthday of a bedridden paediatric patient on the same day.

NWS Volunteer Alliance realized the dream of Wong Chun-To, a five-year-old bedridden paediatric patient of Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, by arranging a bus to take him to the City Hall for the Hong Kong Red Cross Schools' Outstanding Academic Achievement. Moreover, a surprising birthday party was organized for him at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre afterwards.

Being aware that the students of Mark Memorial Home and those in Mainland China are in need, staff of NWS Holdings donated toys, clothing and books etc. for the organization's charity sale held on 5 May 2002.

In order to stimulate the students emigrating from Mainland China to have a greater interest in learning English, NWS Volunteer Alliance and YMCA of Hong Kong Cheung Sha Wan Centre have coorganized a series of English workshops for the young arrivals.
