The Food Commons Foundation volunteers were unfazed by the intense heat and the constant chirping of cicadas! The volunteers battled the intense heat while toting bulky lunchboxes and bread, and their clothes were drenched from perspiration. As planned, they transported the meals to those in need while navigating the sweltering streets. We are truly appreciative of the volunteers' efforts!
We need volunteers to help deliver food to those in need in all areas. Are you willing to spend a little time to help others? We sincerely invite you to register as a volunteer. Only when everyone contributes their own strength can our actions continue.

Today is "Minor Heat", one of the 24 solar terms. Minor Heat is the fifth solar term in summer, marking the official start of midsummer. The weather continues to be hot and humid, which can easily lead to "steaming up and boiling down". It is advisable to keep indoor air circulating and avoid over-reliance on air conditioning, which may cause cold air to invade the body.

A workshop on "Responsible Food Packaging Bags" was successfully organised last weekend (June 28) thanks to the efforts of the Food Commons Foundation's Food Wise Ambassador Training Program instructors and the ELCHK Tai Wo Integrated Youth Service Centre!
Tai Wo Po Nga Court was alive with laughter and inventiveness from the afternoon till sunset that day. Around the table, kids and adults were getting ready to update snack packaging bags, learning stitching techniques under the instructor's supervision, lending a hand to one another, and occasionally bursting with "I sewed it!" surprises. After finishing, the eager kids displayed their imaginative creations, which included identical snack designs printed on the bag's exterior!

Last Saturday was the summer solstice, the solar term with the longest daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere. The hot summer officially started when the sun was directly over the Tropic of Cancer. The human body is prone to perspiration and energy consumption during this period of strong Yang energy. Light meals are recommended to dissipate heat and restore fluids.

In the past month, we have once again witnessed the "power of sharing". Under the sunshine of May, volunteers of the Food Commons Foundation continued to move forward, delivering boxes of heavy bread and lunch boxes to cleaners, scavengers, neighbours, homeless people, elderly people living alone and low-income families. A portion of food not only fills the stomach but also warms the heart.

Today is "Corn on Ear", one of the 24 solar terms. Corn on Ear is the third solar term in summer. This season has entered midsummer, with significantly higher temperatures, abundant rainfall, high humidity and hot weather. It is advisable to open windows more often to ventilate and breathe in fresh air to avoid being too greedy for cool air and causing summer cold.
