Empathy in Action: Volunteer and Cultural Experience

We are delighted to organize a Volunteer and Cultural Experience for the volunteering leads from Jardine Matheson. Through interactive discussions and engaging activities, participants could deepen their cultural understanding and foster their empathy.

Stories Behind the Ethnically Diverse Community

Guided by WEDO GLOBAL Cultural Ambassadors, participants explored the Sikh Temple in Hong Kong, gaining insights into its culture and traditions. The Ambassadors shared their personal stories and the challenges faced growing up, along with the history and contributions of Sikhs in the region in Hong Kong. This experience has enhanced participants’ appreciation for the ethnically diverse community and nurtured empathy.

“Being in the temple and meeting different people was enjoyable; everyone was so welcoming and friendly.”

“I enjoyed learning about the history of Sikh culture and its relationship with Hong Kong. There is very little media coverage, and the general community needs to know more.”

Volunteering in the Community Kitchen

Participants had the opportunity to visit a community kitchen run by volunteers, gaining insights into its purpose and operations. They assisted with ingredient preparation and cleaning, collaborating with fellow volunteers who manage the kitchen. This unique experience not only deepened their understanding but also empowered them to engage with members from the ethnically diverse community.

“I found volunteering the most impressive; I was able to talk and interact with other volunteers.”

We are thrilled to arrange cultural experiences that can provide participants with valuable insights into Hong Kong's cultural diversity. Moving forward, enhancing cultural understanding is essential for corporations to create a more inclusive work environment. Learning from diverse perspectives and engaging in inclusive volunteer activities can inspire participants, deepen their cultural understanding and foster their empathy to extend support to individuals regardless of cultural backgrounds.
