ALTHOUGH many youngsters may consider the Solar Project as a channel to meet their idols, Solar Ambassadors see it in a different light.
To them, the project is a means to understand and serve the needy.
One of the 20 leaders of the Radio Television Hong Kong project, Jimmy Fung Tat-hon, said he never knew that some of the plastic cutlery packages used in fast food restaurants were produced by the disabled.
'They can be productive, like everyone else,' the 23-year-old said.
Lan Wong Kam-lan, a special school teacher and a participant in the project, said voluntary workers should treat their clients as friends.
Ms Lan added that the skills she had acquired through voluntary service helped to improve her relationship with her mother.
