Siemens Volunteer Programme @ Work

		With the great support from our Management, we have successfully organized “Siemens Volunteer Programme @ Work” in cooperation with St. James’ Settlement. Many colleagues participated in the programme on 4 working day afternoons. On Dec 8-9 afternoons, 50 colleagues joined our first mission “Winter Caring” to deliver warmth-keeping clothes to the elderly people in need. The clothes were delivered to them at the right time because of the cold weather at the time.
Some of the elderly people even put on the clothes immediately and did not want to take them off afterwards. All volunteers felt very honoured to have joined the service to deliver care and love to them and had a chance to talk with them.

Our second mission “Wall Painting” took place on Dec 20-21 afternoons. Around 40 colleagues joined to do wall painting at St. James’ Child Care Centre. It involved a lot of tedious work like sanding and polishing the old rust, removing the pooled-off paints and applying new paints on the fencing, railings and doors at the five-storey building. After the two-day hard work, the newly-painted Child Care Centre looked stunning again.

Colleagues all felt very happy to have the chance to serve the people in need on working days.
