The Civil Aid Service, whose slogan is "Strict with yourself and others", recently bent one of its own rules, to allow non-Chinese speaking youngsters to join its Cadet Corps to promote social harmony.
Cadet Corps D Company Staff Officer, Mr Andrew Tse, says the aim is to help the non-Chinese students integrate into the community more smoothly, to be the future leaders and responsible citizens.
News.gov.hk joined a training session for a 21-member platoon that includes 14 non-Chinese cadets - whose families come from Pakistan, Nepal, the Philippines and Africa, and spoke with some youngsters about their experience.
Their story appears on news.gov.hk today (August 10) in both text and video format.
