Cleaning workers working in sweltering weather
2023-07-31
Last Sundy, the editor followed Tai Po volunteers and collected and distributed bread together. The typhoon made the weather sultrier. The editor walked a little and was drenched in sweat. We met a lot of cleaners who were working while some were taking a break outdoors along the way and wondered how much they sweated when cleaning the environment for us the whole day. They were grateful when receiving the bread and wished us health. It warmed the hearts of the editor and volunteers. We believed this was one of the reasons they kept on working despite the sweltering weather.
