Ignite Positive Energy: The Love and Growth of Parent-Child Volunteer Ambassadors 💖

At IP&E GBA, we believe that the value of energy lies not only in illuminating the world but also in igniting warmth and care within our hearts. We are honored to collaborate with the Hong Kong Youth Service Centre to promote the "IP&E Parent-Child Volunteer Ambassador Program". Through parent-child volunteer services, families can experience the joy of helping others while allowing young people to explore themselves and grow through practice. 💪✨

“Interest is the starting point of all growth, but growth requires more than interest; it needs exploration and responsibility.” — Ivan (Team Leader of the Children and Family Services Team at the HKCYS Jockey Club Tai Po Integrated Children and Youth Services Centre).

Ivan emphasizes that youth in the volunteer program are not just participants but also learners and creators. “We hope that through these activities, children can challenge themselves, step out of their comfort zones, and learn how to interact with people from different backgrounds, which greatly aids their growth.”

Now, let’s hear from Sheung Yi as she shares the stories of the parent-child volunteer ambassadors (Sheung Yi and her mother Kimmy), and how this journey ignites positive energy within.

🌱 The Journey Begins: From a Flyer

“I actually saw it on social media,” shares Kimmy. When she came across the slogan "Ignite Positive Energy," she was captivated. After discussing it with her daughter Sheung Yi, they decided to sign up. “This is an opportunity for us to grow together as mother and daughter.”

Sheung Yi, a lively nine-year-old who loves reading, was curious about the program. Previously, her volunteer activities mostly involved selling flags or walking for fundraising. This time, she had the chance to actively participate in caring for society, such as visiting the elderly, learning about food conservation, and even hands-on vegetable picking.

💡 Growth and Learning in Parent-Child Volunteer Activities

• Cherishing What We Have, Understanding Societal Needs

• Overcoming Challenges, Learning to Communicate

• Small Acts Bring Big Warmth

💖 Changes Between Parent and Child: From Companionship to Mutual Growth

“I’ve noticed that my child has become more proactive and willing to help others,” Sheung Yi's mother says with pride. Previously, Sheung Yi hesitated when faced with someone in need, but now she instinctively takes action without waiting for her mother’s reminder, showing genuine concern for others.

🔥 Together, Ignite Positive Energy and Let Love Flow

This collaboration is not just an exchange between a corporation and a social service organization; it reveals that when businesses, society, and youth join hands, we can bring more hope and possibilities for the future! 🌟

IP&E GBA will continue the Parent-Child Volunteer Program, Igniting Positive Energy and letting love flow! ❤️
