Volunteer organizations, on the other hand, took aim at people's desire to "do some good" and arranged even more volunteer activities for them. Meanwhile, the continuing education departments of many universities scheduled additional weekend classes. Figures involved in athletics were also excited, seeing the two extra Saturdays a month as an opportunity to finally begin building the sort of "athletic pyramid" that all the major sporting nations have.
公益團體則瞄準民眾的「愛心潛力」，準備開發更多的義工；多所大學進修推廣單位，預告將推出周末課程供社會大眾選讀；更有體育界人士樂稱：國內一直發展不出運動大國的「運動人口金字塔」，應可藉休假日增多而有成形機會。
