Two Are Better Than One

At Christian Action, we often collaborate with different corporations and service organisations to serve the unserved. One is the Rotary Club of Hong Kong Bayview. Admund joined the Rotary Club at Bayview in 2014 and was president from 2016 to 2017, during his term, he organised various charity projects with CA. He continues to be a compassionate, selfless and humble servant to our community, let’s learn more about him and his work with us!

Admund planned and ran several charity events with us. He said, “I know that many seniors live alone and have limited means, so I want to do more for them.” He began with monthly contributions to our meal box campaign. Then he participated in the hot meal handouts. He said, “It’s very fulfilling to have personal interaction with those in need, so I ask about their lives, their needs, and their feedback about the food we give them.” Admund then organised dumpling-wrapping workshops, and outings to Disneyland.

As a father of four, Admund also serves the children at Christian Action. He visits our after-school care programme and organises book fair excursions and Christmas parties for the children from low-income families. He takes his four daughters to the events. He said, “I want my daughters to learn to love and care for others. They enjoyed playing games with children their age and giving out presents. Sometimes they ask me when they could go back to play with the children again.”

We have worked with Admund many times in our joint events and have heard many great testimonies from our elderly and young service users. They always enjoy their time at the activities and look forward to the next event. One geriatric person even gave Admund a one-metre long painting to recognise his service!

Under Admund’s leadership, he and his family and his team at the Rotary Club of Hong Kong Bayview, have brought a lot of love, care and happiness to the CA community. He is just one of the many dedicated volunteers who participate in our campaigns to care for the community. You too can be one of them! Join us now and help our children, or contribute to our food programme!
