SOS COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS 2008-2009
At HKIS we believe that SERVICE is an important part of learning from and contributing to the Hong Kong community and the greater Asian society. Through these activities, we hope that students will not only help meet the needs of the less fortunate within our society, but learn to value the benefits that come to all when people serve each other with humility and mutual respect.
The Service on Saturday SOS program was started in 1995 to encourage HKIS students to engage in meaningful community service activities in the Hong Kong community. Since its inception, the SOS program has grown to almost 20 venues involving more than 300 students. The goals of the program are to provide the opportunity for our students to assist local service agencies in meeting the needs of Hong Kong people, learn about the challenges facing the greater Hong Kong society, and encourage student reflection concerning their role in the building of stronger communities.
