would become a playground for the children. I am glad that we have made many new friends, and brought much happiness to the disabled children in this centre.
The second centre was the Ba Vi Centre which provided care to the physical and cognitive disabilities and lone elderly. It aimed at providing shelter and care for the elderly who were abandoned by families or have no relatives to take care of. It also took care of the disabled children who have been affected by Agent Orange or have life- threatening diseases like Amyotrophic and cerebral palsy. We have helped the centre in mending the cement ground, painting the windowsills, feeding the disabled children, and playing with the people in the centre. One of the children even taught us Vietnamese dance! Our visit was not merely a one- way delivery of service, but also a platform for cultural exchange.
The last centre we visited was the Tay Dang Orphanage. This centre accepted children who were abandoned by their families. This centre also housed 800 elderly, whom we paid a visit and distributed paper origami to them.
In conclusion, the primary aim of the service trip was met. We brought joy to the people in Vietnam and helped the centres according to their needs. This was such a meaningful trip for me. I hope I can join this programme again next year.

Service Trip 2012 Report Shum Si-yan, Jacqueline (Medu/Year 2)
Every year, the Medical Society organizes a service trip with the aim of providing an
opportunity to the first and second year medical students to serve people around the globe. The service trips were held in Vietnam in the past few years. The Medical Society used to collaborate with the Red Cross through the International Humanitarian Service Leadership Programme (ISLP) and served the victims of Agent Orange in Vietnam. This year, however, the trip was organized without the Red Cross. Since we believe in the importance of providing continous services to those in need, the society decided to continue our service in Vietnam this year.
After undergoing a series of interviews, 21 students, including myself, were chosen to participate in the service trip this year. An important aspect of this trip was that the entire itinerary had to be planned by the students. It included choosing and contacting the centres in Vietnam, planning suitable activities for the victims as well as looking for accommodation, places to eat and means of transportation for the group. It was a new and unique experience for me. It taught me to be more sensitive to the needs of people I served. In addition, I learnt more about the spirit of teamwork and the art of compromise with colleagues as we had many different ideas.
This trip lasted for 15 days, which included visits to a public hospital, a private hospital, and three different centres for the less advantaged people. The purpose of visiting the public and private hospitals was to compare the conditions of the two, in terms of their resources, hygiene as well as number and level of skilled medical professionals. It was very evident that the private hospital was more privileged than the public one, which was quite shabby. Most wards in the public hospital were simple with no air-conditioning and the hospital was in lack of beds. We were told that a bed had to be shared by two to three patients at times when the patients outnumbered the amount of beds available. On the other hand, the private hospital served the wealthy people of the city, who could afford high medical fees. The private hospital was remarkably organized, even with full spa service. Overall, the visits were eye opening experiences as I was able to examine and experience the conditions of health care in a less-developed country, as compared to the well- developed ones in Hong Kong. From there I could take a step further in understanding the standard of living of the Vietnamese, so that we could serve them better.
The first centre we visited was the Thuy An Centre, it was actually a continuation of the service trips in the previous years. It is located in Ba Vi District, suburb of Hanoi (70km distance of Old Quarter). Its roles included admission, care, nursing, orthopedic surgery, education, and vocational training for handicapped children, war veterans, invalids, sick soldiers, plus children affected by dioxin, and those from the poor families in different towns and provinces in Northern Vietnam. We helped renewing a garden by pulling out dead grass, shoveling the soil and planting new grass patch and flowers. Though it was tiring to work under the scorching sun, I felt a sense of accomplishment when looking at the brand-new garden, which

Action Plan! Be Responsible Global Citizens
On the third day, we had a field trip and went to the local farms. Most impressively, we learnt that chicken farms have already showed the process of globalization. In the past, Japan was among the top in producing high-quality chicken. Due to the globalization, others knew how to do the same as well. In order to compete against others and maintain her top status, they invented new skills continuously. But at the same time, they asked their overseas trainees to learn such skills, so that the trainees could bring those skills to different parts of the world. They hope that the overseas trainees could localize what they have learnt in Japan, then invent new skills to impove on the quality. With the competition, everyone will strive for the best, which will bring advantages to the globe and achieve win- win situation eventually.
On the third day, some of us had another field trip – Learn from our history. When my group mates visited Yasukuni Shrine, the tour guide felt sad and said, “We are really really sorry about the World War II. We didn't understand why the Chinese hate us so much, but now we know. Actually, our citizens felt deeply sorry to the Chinese.” Then we understood that some decisions were not made by the citizens but by their government. Usually,
we would believe that the government represents its people, but we seldom think that government, which is made up of a small group of people, would act against the will of its own citizens. And the majority of people, who do not have any power, could do nothing at all. After communicating with the Japanese, we had a better understanding towards them.
After discussing on many global issues, we knew both the advantages and disadvantages of globalization. We had to present our action plan. For my action plan, I suggested making use of the out-of-dated food to reduce the waste. Collective overdue food centre could be established to save up those food, people in need could then collect such food for free if they want to. For more operational details, you are most welcome to discuss further with me.

At the beginning, we were asked to describe the image of globalization on our mind. As we have different perspectives towards globalization, we were able to learn in different aspects. From our discussion, I found out the gap between rich and poor countries is the main concern among us. The seriousness of poverty has worsened in recent years. And the public blame on the businessmen who exploite the workers in semi-peripheral and peripheral countries. Those businessmen, such as the ones in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan, would like to cut the production cost in order to maximize their profits. For example, businessmen would like to move their factories to semi-peripheral and peripheral countries, because the salary of workers in those areas is lower than their own countries.
Japan YMCA Youth Global Citizenship Project Report
Lee Mei-han (Anthropology/Year 3)
From 29 August to 4 September 2012, I went to Shizuoka, Japan for “Japan YMCA Youth Global Citizenship Project 2012 – Summer Training in Tozanso”. It’s a project to discuss on the impact of globalization with the participants from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong.
Games for Promoting FAIR TRADE under Globalization:
From the games, we realized the seriousness of poverty and offered solutions for our future. What impressed me most was “Fair Trade”. Each group received a piece of information sheet. On the sheet, we knew how to make money from our production. For instance, we could exchange our appliances by bargaining with others. However, due to the lack of money, skills, information and appliances, we could not produce high quality products when comparing to the wealthier groups and thus receive less money. On the other hand, the wealthier groups mastered the market information and knew when and how
the market would change their demands. Therefore, they could stay rich. Surprisingly, the poorest group could finally become semi-peripheral city. They explained, “…because we have good relationship with the members in wealthier group…” The staff immediately reminded us that COPERATION is the most important ingredient in globalization. If the wealthier countries could share their information, skills or techniques with others, poor countries would be able to stand on a fairer platform to compete, achieve fairer trade and become more self-sufficient in the end.
