Kimmy joined the 20th YMCA World Council.
In the programme, Kimmy travelled to Germany and joined different service works, such as joining in an insightful sharing from an Ukrainian refugee on the Ukraine war, visiting the refugee campsite etc. She noted that the programme helped her develop a sense of responsibility to the society. “The services and visits engaged me in understanding the obstacles faced by different people around the world,” she said with enthusiasm and faith. “As a global citizen, we should always be interested in current affairs. This experience has reinforced my identity and it truly gave me a sense of mission to contribute to the global society,” Kimmy noted.
“The services and visits engaged me in understanding the obstacles faced by different people around the world.”
This exhilarating trip also inspired Kimmy to chase her own dream. “In Hong Kong, many people have the perception that being professionals is the only indicator of success,” Kimmy explained. “However, after interacting with different foreigners and listening to their sharing, I truly believe that we should follow our own heart and pursue our aspirations!” Kimmy expressed. “Why don’t we cherish the time we have and do things that we are passionate about?”
“I truly believe that we should follow our own heart and pursue our aspirations!”
As a concluding remark, Kimmy expressed her gratitude for the precious opportunity. “It has inspired me to become a better person and I really enjoyed a lot!”
