A group of Hong Kong students at overseas universities have volunteered to give underprivileged primary school pupils here access to English tuition.
The Access HK volunteer programme is a registered charity committed to equal opportunities. It has been running classes every summer for six years.
It targets primary schools in the most economically deprived districts, and strives to boost students' learning interest and English language skills.
A total of 40 students from top institutions in the US and Britain are leading this summer's three-week study programme.
The volunteers were recruited from student societies online.
'The idea is to boost [students'] confidence and give them new vocabulary to use,' said Access HK secretary Geraine Chan Tsz-weng, 19, a student at Warwick University in Britain.
