Speaking at the ceremony, the Acting Director of the Department, LIN Fang-Ju thanked the volunteers for their efforts in supporting the operations of the Department, particularly in the context of the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, which had disrupted the operations of many an institution. Owing to the strong support of our partners, we can take the temperature of people entering the Department's premises daily to help to secure the safety of the site and has been a timely reminder for lecturers and students to wear masks. Attention is paid to the physical conditions of the students in the class, to maintain the safety of the classroom environment and reduce the impact of the operations of the Department. She also mentioned that the total number of volunteer service hours served in 2019 was over 11 000 hours, with more than 130, 000 people serving, an increase of 11% over 2018.
