Siemens Summer Program for School Children

For the second year, Siemens Volunteer Team has organized a summer program combining fun and learning for primary school children. This year, we have partnered with St. James' Settlement to serve some 50 children who were also the beneficiaries of their "Grant-in-aid Brightens Children's Lives" Charity Project. Around 60 volunteers have participated in the summer program consisted of a series of activities on 3 Saturdays in July and August.

		"Siemens Getting to Know You" on July 22 Combining teamwork and individual contest, "Siemens Getting to Know You" was a warm-up for the children to "play hard and cheer loud" as well as an ice-breaker for them to team up with all other children and our volunteers.
		"Siemens Art Center" on July 29 The school children had the chance to meet famous painters like Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh in "Siemens Art Center". The 2-hour creative workshop aimed to inspire the young painters to a new horizon in the world of arts.
		"Siemens Science Museum Visit" on August 12 Being one of the world's largest innovative companies, Siemens is committed to advancing young people's knowledge and education. "Siemens Science Museum Visit" was one of the perfect examples of what we want to do - to expose children to the field of science and technology from an early age.
