The theme of this meeting is the Natural Beauty of Hong Kong. Hong Kong member Polly introduced Hong Kong's magnificent ocean and steep rock walls with 3 short videos, which can engage in activities such as diving and rock climbing, which amazed the participants. Different from most people's impression of Hong Kong - a shopping and gourmet paradise, this time Servas Hong Kong introduced the unknown natural beauty of Hong Kong, which made Servas members from the world exclaim that they have never seen Hong Kong like this, and asked Polly about the information of various outdoor activities. Claudia, National Secretary of Israel, decided to organize a visiting group to have cultural exchanges with Hong Kong after admiring it. In small group discussion session, an average 6 members from different regions each group, discussed and shared with the theme of "hidden gems in your country". Abhay, the National Secretary of India, shared the "Gandhi cap" on his head. Gandhi, the father of India who fought for India's independence from Britain, called on the Indian people to refuse to use industrial cotton from the colonial master Britain and switch to local khadi cotton in India. It will support the local economy and get rid of the dependence on the United Kingdom. Gandhi wore a white cap made by Khadi cotton, so it became popular in India. Until now, the Gandhi cap has become a symbol of continuing Gandhi's spirit and appeared in street protests very often. Claudia, national secretary of Israel, shared that during the small group discussion, the group members all believed that Servas also has hidden gems, which are hidden treasures that are not known to the public, that is, they can live in the homes of members in other countries, and cook, eat, chat, and do activities with local members. So that it becomes the best time when traveling, more people should know about it. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, 3 red envelopes are specially prepared as gifts in the lucky draw. The lucky members will get swimming, diving, hiking with Polly. And 5 Hong Kong postcards are provided for gifts as well. Since this is the last of the 6 East Asia online meetings, some members wish they could have online meetings to join forever. The new Servas International Peace Secretary, Francisco, from Mexico, announced that the EXCO has appointed the area coordinator of East Asia and the honorary chairman of Taiwan, Mei Wang, as the co-Peace Secretary, therefore, Mei will continue the East Asian online meeting mode to create the new “Servas Peace Forum”, which will be held online once a quarter, so that everyone can continue to meet. The first forum will debut on April 22. Welcome everyone to join this online activity together.
