CU50 • Care – Tree Planting Day
11 May 2013
8:15am - 1:15pm
Ma On Shan Country Park
CUHK launches the “CU50‧Care” programme which encourages all members of the University, including students, staff, alumni and friends, to 50 hours of community service commitments within the jubilee year, assembling their power to contribute to our society.
The programme kicked off with a tree planting day which was held at the Ma On Shan Country Park on May 11. Vice-Chancellor Prof. Joseph Sung, together with 200 students, staff, alumni and their family, carried the seedlings of Hong Kong Gordonia and planting tools uphill to Luk Chau Shan at the Park. After an hour’s hike, participants were able to enjoy the nice mountain view and light breezes while they practiced their newly acquired planting skills. The first “CU50‧Care” event ended in sweat and glee.
