GX Foundation held its sixth “Medical Humanitarian Aid Educational Talk” yesterday (6 December) at HKSKH Bishop Hall Secondary School. GX Project Director, Dr. Sida LIU shared his insights from his years of experience in humanitarian assistance work with around 200 students.
The students also had the chance to interact with Cambodian patients and colleagues, as well as the Chinese medical team through a livestream. This helped boost their understanding of the conditions onsite. They all found the work of the foundation special and interesting.
GX is grateful for the arrangements and assistance provided by HKSKH Bishop Hall Secondary School, allowing for the smooth running of the event. In the future, we will continue to provide exchange opportunities in schools of various districts to raise students’ awareness and interest in medical humanitarian aid work.
