An example of courage

We can learn a great deal from children, and little Leah’s life is a powerful lesson. She teaches us about facing terrible obstacles with courage and then overcoming them with joy! Her story is not only an encouragement to amputees and those who face similar circumstances, but I believe it will also encourage you, so I’m sharing it with you. Whatever your difficulties today, let Leah give you courage to persevere and to find joy and peace in overcoming those difficulties. Here are some extracts from a letter written by Leah's adoptive parents:

Goldman Sachs Community Teamworks volunteers help paint our Refugee Service Center
Sixty years ago governments signed a legal document regarding the rights of refugees and the legal obligations of the states to which they flee. June 20th is the anniversary of the Refugee Convention. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) has declared it World Refugee Day 2011. In 2009, nearly 43.3 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced due to conflict and persecution. According to the latest statistics published by UNHCR, this is the highest number since the mid-1990s. Each of us who are secure and busily getting on with our lives may well ask, "What's it got to do with me?"

We need five volunteer tutors per day for after school classes for ethnic minority children, including tutors to teach Cantonese classes. The classes are one of the many essential services ethnic minorities rely on to level the playing field and help them integrate into HK society.
Here’s a letter from one volunteer who responded to our advertisement for a Cantonese class.
