A New Decade of Giving

We will soon bid farewell to 2019, and we will welcome 2020 - another decade! Would you please think about starting the new decade in a meaningful way?

One of the things you can do is support our Red Packet for Every Home Campaign. We were so overwhelmed by last year's support, so we hope to have your support again this year.

The goal of the campaign is to invite everyone, especially the children, to donate some of their red packet money to help the vulnerable children in Hong Kong and Qinghai. Last year, we went around the schools to teach the students about those who live with various disadvantages. We shared beautiful stories of how we served people like Maddie and Bin Bin.

We also held experiential workshops and interactive games. This taught the students how to pay it forward when they have received blessings. It helped them to see how the power of giving can change the lives of others.

We are always moved when students are inspired. One of the primary students said the following:

"I learned that there are many people living on the verge of poverty, with some of them facing even more difficulties due to their disabilities. I realised that I am grateful for what I have. Not only can I donate the red packet money, but also the toys and stationeries I no longer need to the people who might need it more."

“When William Met DouGe” story book and special designed red packets.

We have many more exciting plans, such as hosting a drawing competition where students from different schools will showcase their artistic skills. The created artworks will be displayed in the closing ceremony. We also have a wonderful line-up of charity items, including a postcard set by local illustrators; our first ever storybook entitled "When William Met DouGe" and specially designed red packets made in collaboration with TAMA and FRIENDS.

I pray and hope you will prayerfully consider supporting us in making the first year of the new decade meaningful for you and for the children we serve.
