With these volunteers acting as “propagandists” and “invigilators” of such protection, the whole society could formulate a better consciousness on caring, supporting, participating, and guarding on waters protection.

The School of International Education organized 10 international students to participate in this program, and fulfill the promise and slogan of “volunteer service across national boundaries, and public interest for all warm-heartedness”.
During the activities that day, young volunteers also held a dialogue with Vice Chairman Gan Xiaoming, and they used their professional knowledge to answer concerning questions in satisfactory manner, which is best acknowledged by the Vice Chairman.
