Hardworking and outstanding social workers and organizations were recognized in the ceremony to thank them for their long-term contribution and efforts with the aim to promote professional exchange and experience sharing among social welfare groups as well as convey the power of love via the participation of friends and family members to gain positive recognition and support.
