The Social Welfare Bureau (IAS) said in a statement yesterday that it is recruiting volunteers who will provide assistance to all those in need in the aftermath of a strong typhoon or storm surge, and help restore the city to normal.
According to the statement, those who are interested in joining the volunteer programme can file an application by visiting its dedicated website: http://www.vse.ias.gov.mo/index, or by visiting one of the social service centres run by the city’s various private social services organisations – which are listed in the statement. The volunteer programme is officially known as Community Contingency Volunteer Scheme.
The statement noted that after Super Typhoon Hato devastated Macau in 2017, the bureau launched a programme which arranged for the city’s various social service groups to provide assistance to the underprivileged in the aftermath of the deadly typhoon.
