On December 4, one day ahead of the International Volunteer Day, staff members of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) visited the Xizongbu Community in Beijing's Dongcheng District to render services for children and elderly people.
Ten departments of the ACWF and the Women's Federation of Dongcheng District carried out 10 voluntary projects, as they responded to the needs of families in the community.
The ACWF set up a women volunteers' station at Xizongbu Community, where residents can receive services such as family education guidance, psychological counseling, safety and protection knowledge education and aid regarding smartphone use. They also participated in training on enhancing the capacity of voluntary services.
