In the barter area, some people exchanged their unused toys and books for greenery, while in the handy services area, some turned to volunteers for network maintenance or pet care.
"There are too many toys in my house. I am very supportive of such activities to cultivate children's awareness of sharing," said an attendee.
In addition, there were games and art performances that filled people with joy.
According to the local social work committee, such fairs should be held regularly to help inform residents about social services and public welfare.
