I am very happy and eager to participate in this meaningful community activity, which not only helps raise people’s awareness of health care but also contribute to building flood-resilient community houses and planting trees for environment protection. When the information was shared to my friends, many of them wanted to participate, everyone is looking forward to the starting day to spread positive messages and make small yet meaningful contribution to the community.
