And volunteers gave out bookmarks and brochures of health knowledge to students passing by, so as to promote common health knowledge, and provided free liangcha(herbal tea) to students and imparted on them measures of sunstroke prevention.

The free clinic embodies the care for life, especially in this hot weather”, a student receiving free clinical consultaiton told the reporter.
