Youth Diabetes Action - Youth Camp 2017

26 August, 2017
Venue: Don Bosco Youth Centre - 賽馬會長洲鮑思高青年中心

We had 50 diabetes participants to join this meaningful and popular event this year! Every kid (and medical volunteers like me lol) exhausted their energy and shedded their sweat to reward the invaluable courage and merriment! They have proved themselves capable and energetic even they need to prick their fingers and give the shots at times, but they could do it!

























We feel pity to return earlier owing to the typhoon Hato but we swear we'll come back again next year!
