Best Buddies is a program that matches people with intellectual disabilities with students and creates one to one friendship between them. In the past, individuals with intellectual disabilities have not had the opportunity to have friends outside of their own, often isolated, environments. By becoming a Buddy, volunteers offer people with intellectual disabilities the chance to explore life in a new way. This service, though prefers to have Cantonese-speaking students, if you are an enthusiastic overseas student who are interested to learn to communicate in Cantonese, you can pair up with a local student and become a friend of your buddy. Or you can be an associate member to help to organize activities. The service will be held every Tuesday from 2:15-4:30pm and it will take place in an Adult Centre for the intellectual disabilities in Shatin area.
