Students' Voice
"讓我最印象深刻的是在剛加入WGO的時期，我就得以旁聽一場重要的業界ESG競賽活動，這個難得的機會讓我認識了不同企業應對減碳、環保及企業綠色轉型的多樣性的解決方案以及有效實施。"
"多謝機構俾咗一個機會我去了解更多社福機構、青少年同埋佢地嘅社會現況。我喺服務入邊唔單止可以貢獻到社會同機構，更讓我可以將社會工作嘅書本知識運用到實踐上，當中機構嘅feedback同關懷令我更加肯定自我。"
"好多謝機構嘅安排，俾好大空間我哋構思活動。雖然我哋唔係正式既實習，但都唔會話有好多限制，我哋先可以落實自己嘅設計同埋想法。當遇到問題嘅時候，負責社工都比好多意見我哋，睇吓可以點樣做得更好！今次係一次好珍貴嘅經驗！"
