Kimberly, an associate professor from Wenzhou University, brought a flag to the salon. Kimberly said she has lived in Wenzhou for more than 10 years and received a lot of helps. Wenzhou people have provided her and other international friends in Wenzhou with a home, so they are happy to volunteer to give back to this gracious city and its people. This is one of the reasons she made the decision of being a founder of Wenzhou International Volunteer Team.

At the discussion session, Kimberly introduced the previous activities that Wenzhou International Volunteer Team has organized, such as book donations, San Le Ting charity project, public signage correction, first aid training and so on.

Hamad, a doctor from Wenzhou Panhealth Medical Center, expressed his views that people’s active participation is the foundation of international volunteering. Volunteers could contribute their expertise in various field to help others. Traffic dispersion, bus station guidance, foreign language public welfare training, and community services...... all of them can be international volunteer service projects.

"Does anyone care about the environment when littering the streets with paper and cigarette butts? Does anyone have the awareness that they are harming the nature when dropping litters into rivers, lakes, oceans or mountains? Are human beings protectors of the environment, or destroyers?" Sandra from Russia, opened her presentation on environmental protection with asking questions. She said that environmental protection is a major problem for all countries nowadays. We might as well start the protection with a simple litter clean-up. "If everyone does it, better future will lie ahead of us."

At the event, Danan Sub-district in Lucheng was awarded a plaque inscribed "Wenzhou International Volunteer Service Site".
