On the morning of December 13, Hong Kong Disneyland volunteers organised a family storytelling event for children from low-income families at Tung Chung Public Library. Volunteers arrived early to prepare gifts and games for the children.
The event started off with volunteers telling the children the classic Disney fairy tale - Dumbo. The volunteers made the story interactive, asking children to picture themselves as animals. Eight-year-old Hugo, who studies at Pui Kiu Primary School, had one word to describe the activity: FUUUUN!
Yeung Man-han, an engineer, was a volunteer. He came with his two-year-old son, Long Long. “It is a very meaningful event,” Yeung said. “Children are very simple. They don’t want money or presents, they just need you to spend time with them.”
