KINDNESS WALK PPOL partners with Impact HK The Division of Public Policy has partnered with Impact HK to organize a meaningful Kindness Walk, a volunteering activity aimed at serving food and necessities to individuals experiencing homelessness. This initiative reflects a commitment to social justice and community engagement, fostering empathy and understanding within urban environments. The Kindness Walk is designed as a hands-on experience that allows participants to interact directly with members of the community facing homelessness. Volunteers go out on the streets, distributing essential supplies such as sandwiches, bottled water, hygiene products, and warm clothing. This initiative not only provides immediate relief but also sparks conversations about the broader issues of homelessness and social inequality. As part of the summer course on Social Justice in Urban Sustainability, this activity highlights the importance of direct action and community involvement in addressing systemic challenges. Students are encouraged to engage with the community, listen to the stories of those they serve, and reflect on the impact of their actions. This experiential learning opportunity enables a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding homelessness and the necessity for sustainable solutions. Combined with another 3 fieldtrips, the summer course encouraged students to proactively investigate how to achieve urban sustainability in diverse aspects through practical action. Impact HK, a local organization dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness, plays a crucial role in this initiative. Their commitment to compassion and community outreach aligns perfectly with the educational goals of the course. By collaborating with Impact HK, the Division of Public Policy aims to create a lasting impact, not only for those receiving aid but also for the volunteers who gain invaluable insights into the realities of urban life. 35 STUDENT HUB
