CA’s Use of Virtual Reality Helps Corporations Boost Teamwork

Imagine a world where learning is no longer confined to the four walls of a classroom but extends far beyond them.

Traditional training methods often appeal to only certain kinds of learners. Not only does it lack a broad-based appeal, but the limited interactivity means that the human brain is less stimulated. This kind of learning is ineffective because the depth and breadth of what is learned, put into practice, and retained is therefore suboptimal.

Christian Action’s trainings are different. Corporations that use our services receive customized courses that uses virtual reality (VR). This is making a huge difference for the individual attendees and entire teams!

Rededicating Christian Action To The Lord

“See, I am doing a new thing! I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19.

When I was around 21 years old, I recognized that if I were to spend the entirety of my life following my ambitions, then my life’s work would be as meaningless as chasing after the wind. Instead, I saw that I was a sinner and that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, loved me and was sacrificed for my sins, so that I could spend eternity with Him. In gratitude, I dedicated my life to serving Him!

About 12 years later, in 1992, when I was appointed Christian Action's Executive Director, I asked God to bless my efforts and this Organization, so that we could continue to do good for mankind.

Together We Can Build a Better Tomorrow

In this second year of post-COVID economic recovery and growth, I am glad to see life in Hong Kong gradually getting back to pre-pandemic normalcy, especially for those in the middle and higher income groups. But this recovery is not the same for low-salary families, who are unable to take advantage of the economic rebound, instead they find themselves in a new financial crisis.

I always ask God to bless our efforts to help our service users. I was overjoyed then to find that my prayers were answered, when we were given the opportunity to launch the ‘Building Tomorrow Together’ campaign for the community, particularly those underprivileged individuals living in Sham Shui Po. The first event took place on 25th February 2024, at Shek Kip Mei Community Hall where goody bags and food gift packs were provided for 300 families in Sham Shui Po, to help them ride-out the numerous economic challenges.

It was a scream!

“When faced with challenges in life, we might be inclined to solve them on our own, but if we start supporting one another—as in the three-legged walk—we can work things out together and support each other. I now realise how powerful teamwork is.” Siu Yan, a Christian Action service user from a low-income background.

 

The morning of March 9, 2024 was marked by a shared sense of fear and dread for over 800 people in Hong Kong. Christian Action’s 2024 Clearwater Bay Golf Country Club 3-Legged Charity Walk was supposed to happen that day, but instead the sky was full of massive rain filled clouds and monsoon winds!

Preparations for the 3-Legged Charity Walk had totaled in the hundreds and hundreds of hours of hard work from our staff members and volunteers. In previous years their labour of love has resulted in much needed funding for our programmes for underprivileged groups in Hong Kong, as well as orphans and children with disabilities in Qinghai.

Our Extraordinary Training Services Division

“Great news and congratulations to all those involved.” Christian Action’s Chairman, Mr. Julian Walsh.

Back in 1993 Christian Action had a distinguished history serving refugees and migrants. But then we broadened our mission to include serving Hong Kong residents and the impact has been astounding! Little did I know that when I had our Vietnamese Boat People Vocational Training Manager, Nigel Preece, help me to write our first proposal to work with ERB that we would go on to become one of HK's largest ERB retraining agencies!
