I mainly helped with the literacy development programs (Buddy Reading, Code and Create and My Story Creation). Buddy Reading is a program for volunteers to read English books to the under-served communities in Hong Kong. My main responsibilities included conducting buddy reading trainings, leading buddy reading sessions, overseeing buddy reading sites, and other administrative work. With Code and Create, I taught children and youth how to code and create their own story and also help with classroom management. Show less
