Hopewell Holdings Limited ("Hopewell") and St. James' Settlement have jointly organized the Hopewell Junior Volunteers Program for the eighth consecutive year, and have successfully held a series of activities, including six sessions of “Board Game Workshops” and the Board Game Fun Day. The program aims to support the mental health of primary school students, helping them to relieve negative emotions, learn emotional management, and improve their psychological well-being.
 
In order to help volunteers understand mental health and the rundown of the activity, we held a video volunteer training session for the first time before the event, deepening their understanding of the activity process and mental health, enabling them to provide better services to the students.
 
The Board Game Fun Day was successfully concluded on January 13, 2024 (Saturday) at the E.L.C.H.K Kwai Shing Lutheran Primary School. The event was led by seven volunteers who guided 20 students in participating in tabletop games, increasing their interaction and communication with each other. Through the games, the students not only learned new knowledge, but also learned to follow game rules, try new things, and build good relationships with others.
 
This event effectively relieved the students' stress and had a positive impact on their mental health. In the future, we hope to work with employees to bring more care and assistance to students in the community.
