Extensive Collaboration Beyond UM HFPJC’s first service-learning programme in mainland China was launched with Yanai Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in Hong Kong. Coordinated by the foundation, service leaders of the college visited Siyuan Schools in different parts of the country to help create a safe and healthy learning environment for left-behind children— children who remain in rural regions while their parents seek work in urban areas. The programme allowed students to visit mountainous regions in mainland China to witness the effectiveness of poverty alleviation policies, thereby fostering a sense of social responsibility and national identity. To enrich the content of the volunteer teaching programmes, the college also teamed up with Clean the World Asia, a Hong Kong-based social enterprise, and Little Inventors, an international charity initiative. The collaboration with Clean the World Asia enabled HFPJC students to take part in a hotel soap recycling programme. The students then imparted the knowledge of hygiene and environmental protection that they learned from the programme to the children in the mountainous regions. Furthermore, the Little Inventors project, which brought new elements to the service-learning programmes, encouraged the students to be creative. Such experiences ultimately led them to design the well-received ‘Little Photographers’ and ‘Little Programmers’ projects for the volunteer teaching activities that followed. Cultivating Leadership Among Students Looking back, HFPJC has found that although nurturing leaders is not the primary objective of the service-learning programmes, they indeed foster a range of leadership qualities among students. These include confidence, communication skills, interpersonal and coordination skills, team spirit, and problem-solving skills. By integrating community service with civic education, the programmes strengthen students’ sense of social responsibility. In addition, the reflections and discussions during service-learning activities can prompt the process of relearning, enabling students to translate compassion into action and thereby develop leadership. Many students who took part in the volunteer teaching programmes in the mainland have later gone on to become active in the college’s House Association and other student organisations and have thus turned themselves into exemplary student leaders. HFPJC students affectionately call themselves ‘juzi’ (‘orange’ in Chinese) or ‘laranja’ (‘orange’ in Portuguese). This is not only because the college has an adorable orange as its mascot, but also because they embrace the warmth, vitality, and love that the colour orange symbolises. The students aspire to share these attributes and lend others a helping hand. On their service-learning journey, students have brought rays of sunshine and love to underprivileged children in remote areas, and in turn, they have also experienced joy from their own learning and personal growth. If the fruit of love is service, then the fruit of service is holistic student development. 住宿式書院系統網站 Website of the Residential College System 「書院發展」為投稿欄目，內容僅代表作者個人意見。 RC Development is a contribution column.
