Nothing beats being a kid on vacation. And going on an overnight adventure weekend with a bunch of your friends is equally good - which is exactly what our staff organized for 46 disadvantaged children in our Child Development Fund recently.
32 students, two mentors from our On Tai Service Centre and 14 students from our Long Ping Service Centre, together with 9 staff members, spent an overnight weekend away that was packed with a varied educational adventure activities. The venue was The Jockey Club’s excellent Cheung Chau Don Bosco Youth Centre.

A crazy thing happened when Vivi Wangka, our Migrant Domestic Workers staff member, traveled to India for the 15th Christian Conference Asia (CCA) General Assembly in India.
When Vivi arrived at Kochi Airport and was collecting her luggage she was surprised to bump into Uma, whom she first met in our Migrant Domestic Workers shelter in Hong Kong in April 2022! Uma lived in the shelter for 200 days while the courts resolved her employment dispute, until she departed in December 2022.

On October 13th 2023, our Lo Kwee Seong On Tai Service Centre screened the heart touching Japanese movie "CareNin – Thank God You Are Here," to assist our service users at On Tai Estate to better understand how to take care of their elderly or mentally ill family members. This film received high praise from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. It is the true story of a young caregiver who learned how to handle the pressure and stress of taking care of an elderly dementia patient. The movie night drew 70 participants; among them were housewives, teenagers, young elders and parents with their children.
At On Tai Estate, many residents are beginning to face the situation of increasing age, yet they find themselves needing to take care of more senior family members at home. Some of them can also encounter the possibility, that their family members may be suffering from dementia. Therefore, we hope to use this movie night to enhance everyone’s understanding of dementia and, at the same time help them to learn how to care for caregivers.
