These days, some volunteer college students wearing the hats with the words "urban management volunteer" and red volunteer vests engage themselves in helping passengers in Ningbo Passenger Transportation Center.

In the last few days, the Passenger Transportation Center witnessed an increase in passenger traffic. As returning workers carry with them a lot of baggage, and it is the first time for many of them to come to the center, there are inevitable inconveniences.

To solve their problems, the Yinzhou Office of Ningbo Urban Management Volunteer Association organized 70 college students as volunteers to carry on services for passengers. They delivered hot teas, helped with baggage, accompanied passengers in need, and guided the way for people, and thus greatly eased the difficulties of the passengers.

This volunteer activity in the Passenger Transportation Center is one instance of the series of activities titled "love warming winter" carried out by the Yinzhou Office of Ningbo Urban Management Volunteer Association.
