Since 2005, International Humanitarian Service Leadership Program (ISLP) has collaborated with numerous universities in Hong Kong and National Red Cross/ Red Crescent Societies in other regions to facilitate various student initiatives related to various humanitarian issues such as on refugees, left-behind children, water safety and hygiene etc. Both participants and institutions have positive feedback on the international and local services of ISLP.

“Refugee Concern in Ethiopia”
Since 2008, ISLP has co-organized “Project Infinity Cambodia Trip” with The Education University of Hong Kong. It aims to let students explore the landmine issue and also understand the poverty problem being suffered by the Cambodian children. In 2009, the students formed “Refugee Concern” for further studying the refugee issues. They visit local refugee center and also communicate with local Students on refugee issue. It can advocate peers to provide care and support to refugees in both Ethiopia and Hong Kong. Now, the project is still in progress.

“Heyuan Voluntary Teaching and Community Service Project”
ISLP and Hong Kong College of Professional And Continuing Education of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University launched the “Heyuan Voluntary Teaching and Community Service Project” in 2005. Thereafter, participating students have gone there regularly for voluntary teaching in schools. They are concerned about the living and studying environment of local left-behind children, and also hold different local community service such as visiting elderly who living alone.
