The projects, activities, and smiles of the residents and children supported during the campaign are living proof of the value that HUFLIT youth bring to the community. Through these experiences, volunteers not only develop practical skills and gain hands-on experience but also cultivate a sense of social responsibility, community awareness, and pride in contributing to the development of their hometowns.

Moreover, the campaign has created opportunities to strengthen connections between the University, students, and local communities, forming a network that spreads positive energy and inspires the spirit of “Go to share, go to contribute, go to grow.” It is hoped that the HUFLIT Green Summer Volunteer Campaign will continue to receive trust and support, becoming a platform for students to embark on even more meaningful green journeys, contributing to a dynamic, compassionate, and sustainably developing society.
