In the five years since the centre’s completion in 2017, it has held several events to support and assist local children, elderly people and women. This year, two civil society organisations helped support a one-day children’s day camp based at the centre that brought together fun, knowledge sharing and the spirit of giving. During the study tour in the century-old Chengdu YMCA building on Chunxi Road, the children learnt about history and how the generations before them inherited and spread values based on mutual care and support. The children and volunteers then made traditional dragon boat paper models as part of the Dragon Boat Festival and presented them to Chengdu sanitation workers along with messages of thanks to those who help keep the city’s environment clean and beautiful. Another event saw Community Ambassadors plan and implement a “Forest Kingdom” camp for 30 third- to sixth-grade students that included games, teambuilding sessions and craft workshops. Another initiative encouraged children to give back to the community and make a difference by assisting older people living alone while enriching their own wellbeing and understanding of life. After some basic training, the children, assisted by a social worker, purchased daily necessities and helped clean the houses of these elderly people during the Chinese New Year holiday period and in the summer. The programme won strong support from parents who encouraged their children’s participation and donated relief supplies. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2022 123
