🏢 About the local organisation
This project is actively working for SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with the local charity and NGO partners of VolTra.
• (1) Our main partner, the HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity, is Hong Kong’s first DSS secondary school offering holistic creative education. With a focus on humanities, it broadens students’ exposure to arts, media, and design, nurturing future talents for the creative industry. We will visit their classes to share our cultures as foreign volunteers.
• (2) Another key partner is Kusala Education, which promotes diverse education focused on love, compassion, and well-being. Using the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, they nurture verbal, logical, spatial, and musical skills. Their holistic approach balances STEM education with values that foster personal and social harmony. We will support their local temple in Hong Kong with some volunteer work during the camp.
• (3) The third partner of this bootcamp is RunOurCity, the organizer of the Streetathon campaign. RunOurCity believes RUN can transform lives. They organise STREETATHONS, hong kong ladies run and other themed running events to nurture fun and compassionate running culture in Hong Kong. Since 2013, they have organized running events for almost 140,000 participants, and raised funds for over 30 charities. We will join them as a cheering team during the camp.
