From 13th to 19th August 2023, Boundless organized the Overseas Service Trip (the first trip after the outbreak of the pandemic). During this 7-day-6-night, Mentees travelled to Mongolia to organize voluntary service for the local students and experience the local culture.

 

Boundless Mentees taught the Mongolian students how to make balloon-powered cars to compete with each other. Also, in the team games, students exchanged ideas and cultures to learn more about each other’s stories and lifestyles. Apart from the energetic events, mentees led the local students to enjoy the peace and happiness of drawing and had the chance to decorate the Mongolian campus. In the cultural exchange session, Boundless Mentees introduced Hong Kong Culture to the local students by making lanterns, malt biscuits and Hong Kong-style milk tea, and even singing Cantonese popular songs. Mongolian volunteers also joined us to share their traditional songs and dance together. All shared joyful moments regardless of the language barrier.

 

During the journey, Boundless Mentees gained valuable life experience through living in the local family yurt, experiencing the life of living in nature. Although there were unexpected situations, mentees cherished the chance to escape from the urban city and enjoyed the happiness of watching the night sky, which brought them unique experiences.

2023年8月13至19日，Boundless舉辦了疫情後首次海外義工團。這個七日六夜的大型活動，學員們前往蒙古為當地學生舉辦義工活動，並體驗當地文化。

​

Boundless學員們教蒙古學生製作氣球動力車，分隊比賽、一決高下，氣氛相當熱鬧！此外，於團隊遊戲，雙方可進行文化交流，並互相認識、了解生活習慣。除了體力活動，學員們亦準備了靜態活動，與蒙古學生一起拾筆作畫、繪出蒙古的藍天，更有機會為蒙古校園添上色彩。於文化共融夜之中，Boundless學員們為蒙古學生介紹香港文化，透過製作燈籠、麥芽餅及奶茶，讓當地同學品嚐香港特色食物和體驗傳統手藝；更演唱香港的流行音樂。蒙古義工亦和我們分享傳統民謠，一同載歌且舞，在音樂當前語言不成障礙，大家共享熱鬧氣氛。
 

旅程中，Boundless學員得到寶貴的生活體驗，寄宿於當地家庭的蒙古包，親身體驗與大自然共住的環境。雖遇上不測之風雲，但學員們晚上聚在一起觀賞蒙古夜空，分外珍惜這份遠離塵囂的快樂。在這裡，夜晚的天是深藍的、星是閃的，對於他們而言是分獨特的經歷！
