All <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the things-to-do like searching home, finding jobs, and opening local bank accounts could probably drive you crazy if no one helps you. After all these grinds are done, you will find a great crisis coming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may enjoy being alone at first, but day after day, you may experience overwhelming loneliness if you don&#8217;t have any local friends to talk to. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">how can you make a friend? Jumping in front of someone and say &#8220;hi&#8221;? No way. You are not going to do that, not in Hong Kong at least. The easiest and most natural way <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">integrate into society and to make new friends is participating volunteer work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">so <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">many great charity organizations in Hong Kong. You can definitely pick 1 or even 2 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">join according to your own interests.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/volunteer-825x510-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"825\" height=\"510\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23487 size-full\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are the one concerning environmental issues, you are probably interested in World Wide Fund for Nature Hong Kong. WWF-Hong Kong was founded in 1981 and is an integral part of WWF&#8217;s global network. It welcomes volunteers in a number of ways, ranging from office assistance to fundraising to field work at sites including Mai Po.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">pet <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lover, I would highly recommend you to join LAP (Lifelong Animal Protection Charity). LAP exists to help animals in Hong Kong and to bring about the conditions whereby every animal has a good home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a volunteer, you can spend a few hours taking care of the dogs\/ cats in centres, or you can also foster them until they are adopted. What a good new is you don&#8217;t have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">worry about the language as the founder is a foreign lady and most of the volunteers can speak fluent English!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have a global vision, you are probably interested in Crossroads Foundation. It is a Hong Kong based<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">non-profit organization serving global need. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">offers several worthwhile services including distributing quality excess goods in Hong Kong to those in need globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are a lady who craves meeting other women from over 36 nations, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">will be interested <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">American Women&#8217;s Association of Hong Kong. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">offer several ways <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">volunteers to contribute the community. You may join the community volunteer programs to help those less fortunate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">or join the English Activity programs to help improve the English capabilities of local students. Apart from AWA, being a member in The Helena May is also an option for you. It has a Community Outreach Programme in which members can carry out <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">number of projects each year designed <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">benefit women and girls in Hong Kong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter which kind of volunteer work you are interested in, you can easily find the application forms online. Why don&#8217;t you take a little step now <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">start your meaningful and cheerful new life in Hong Kong?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Website <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lists:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WWF &#8211;
