Volunteers from Hong Kong have been offering counseling services to earthquake survivors in southwest China's Sichuan Province over the Spring Festival holiday. It was the volunteers' second visit in four months.

The biggest temporary housing area in the quake-hit zone is not a strange sight for these volunteers from Hong Kong.

The biggest temporary housing area in the quake-hit zone is not a strange sight for these volunteers from Hong Kong. They were here 4 months ago and got acquainted with many of the 20,000 households here.

Shortly after their arrival, they listened to residents' stories of happiness and worries. After this they organized games for them to help release some of the stresses of post-quake life.

HK SAR volunteer Wong Sei-Jun, said, "I am really impressed by the local people's will to survive and prosper. Their hearts are very strong!"
