We Made a Difference
The College works with a variety of non-governmental organisations to provide opportunities for students to participate in voluntary services. In addition to experiencing an exciting campus life, the College encourages students to care about the underprivileged and to contribute to the community. College students have made impacts in different corners of the world – in Hong Kong, the Mainland, Taiwan and overseas, spreading love to every corner of the world.
Social Service in Nepal
From July 2 to 17, 2024, a service team from S.H. Ho College, consisting of the College Master, students, an alumna and a staff member worked in Nepal. The main objectives of this trip are to provide teaching services to students in Akrang, a remote mountain area in Nepal, and to offer medical check-ups for the villagers, with the aim of raising their health awareness and promoting hygiene knowledge.
Before the trip, the service team of the College worked in small groups to design teaching plans for each grade and fully prepared the necessary materials for the lessons. Upon arrival, they began an intensive seven-day teaching programme that covered diverse subjects, including English, Mathematics, Science, Geography, Anatomy and traditional Chinese Medicine. After completing their teaching tasks, they summarised some of the teaching challenges they faced at the village school and provided valuable suggestions to the school in order to help improve the school’s educational model and enhance teaching quality.
In addition, College Master Prof. Vincent Mok and several students with medical backgrounds organised a one-day health check-up event that provided basic health screenings and consultations for the villagers. They also held a health talk that included training on acupressure and emergency measures. Under Prof. Mok’s guidance, group members advised potential health cases and encouraged the villagers to seek further medical evaluations.
For the service team of the College, this journey was an unforgettable experience that fostered their empathy and understanding. They made friends with people three thousand kilometres away and learned to cherish what they have.








Social Service in Uganda, Africa
Imagine embarking on a journey to a faraway land with a group of like-minded individuals, all eager to make a difference in the world. That is what happened when 12 College students, together with the College Master Prof. Vincent Mok, joined a social service trip to Uganda in Africa from 8 to 21 June, 2023.
During the trip, the service team visited the Watoto Suubi children’s village and the community women’s development programme training centre. They had the opportunity to taste traditional local lunch, lovingly prepared by the Watoto mothers. They chatted and played with children in the village and experienced first-hand the joy and resilience of these amazing kids.
But the trip was not just about having fun and making memories. They also learned about the challenges of living in poverty, particularly for women in slums. The group was humbled by the strength and perseverance of these women, and they were deeply moved by their story.
In addition to their visits, they also went to schools in impoverished areas to teach and participated in digging wells. They determined to make a real and lasting impact on the lives of those they met.




A Dream Day with the “Cheer Up Buddies” Service Team
In a sunny day on December 9, 2024, with a hint of autumn in the air, nine elderly friends from the Sage Madam Ho Sin Hang Home for the Elderly arrived at S.H. Ho College, filled with excitement to embark on an unforgettable journey of leading university lives as “students”.
College students took on the role of teachers, providing a lively Traditional Chinese Medicine class that was both informative and engaging for these eager “students”. The elderly friends not only knew about health-promoting herbs but also enjoyed specially brewed herb tea made by their “teachers”! Laughter and joy filled the classroom as everyone connected and shared food, knowledge and love in the exciting adventure. College students even created personalised “student cards” and “graduation certificates” exclusively for these elderly friends, making the experience even more impressive and meaningful!
After class, everyone put on College gowns and headed to the Pavilion of Harmony to take precious graduation photos. It was a day filled with smiles, learning and cherished memories!




Visit to SAGE Madam Ho Sin Hang Home for the Elderly
On December 1, 2024, a heart-warming Christmas party was held at the SAGE Madam Ho Sin Hang Home for the Elderly. Students from S.H. Ho College of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, S.H. Ho Wellness College of the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, and the Madam S.H. Ho Residence for Medical Students of the University of Hong Kong organised various festive activities for the elderly residents. The College students energised the atmosphere by singing several classic songs with the elderly, including a medley of Christmas songs and popular local hits from the 70s to the 90s. They also dressed up as Santa Claus and distributed gifts, sending warm holiday wishes to each elderly resident. Together they had a loving and joyful time.
