Flags of Strength: Diverse Personalities, Infinite Power

On a grey, overcast Saturday morning, the streets of the New Territories shimmered with something far brighter than the weather: Hope. Despite the cloudy skies, more than 1,000 volunteers—our service users, students, parents, retirees—gathered with joyful hearts for Christian Action’s Flag Day 2025 to raise funds for our life- changing programmes that serve underprivileged children, ethnic minorities, refugees, asylum seekers, and their families across Hong Kong.

Each volunteer held multiple sheets of Din-Dong-themed flags, adorned with cheerful illustrations of the beloved cartoon cat and his friends. Din-Dong’s motto, “Impossible is possible,” echoes the very heartbeat of Christian Action. We face challenges that often feel insurmountable, but with God’s grace and your support, we find strength to carry on.

10 Years Later: The Amazing Story of Dicky Wong

Ten years ago a fresh faced fifteen-year-old student named Dicky Wong came to Christian Action for help. Dicky lived with his family in a tiny, overcrowded apartment in one of Hong Kong’s poorest neighborhoods, and he desperately wanted to break free from poverty.

To help Dicky we placed him in our Children’s Development Fund (CDF) Programme where he received a personal development plan and all the support and guidance he needed to fulfill the plan. Most importantly, Dicky received his own personal mentor for the entirety of the program!

A Surgeon in the Making

Tam Kwong Ho, a graduate of the seventh batch of On Tai Service Centre’s Child Development Fund (CDF). From a young age, his parents instilled in him a deep appreciation for education. He is a model student with a burning passion to become a doctor. Throughout secondary school, he immersed himself completely in his studies—so committed that his bookshelves are lined not with comic books, but with volumes on anatomy, physiology, and human biology.

There were times when Kwong Ho felt confused about his journey of exploration and learning. Fortunately, Kwong Ho learnt to set various short-term goals for himself and gradually achieved them thanks to the encouragement and support from Christian Action, his family, and his mentor. His assigned mentor, Dicky Wong, a devoted social worker at On Tai, recommends Kwong Ho apply for the CASE Scholarship. His mentor motivated him to diligently strive for the necessary outcomes to secure his university admission.

Who Will Be Hong Kong’s Next Models of Love and Justice?

Despite the threat of heavy rain, 1,000 volunteers and participants were jumping with excitement at the Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club for this year’s 3-Legged Easter Island Adventure on the 12th of April 2025. Although everyone came prepared with raincoats and umbrellas, God granted us clear skies and a day filled with fun, games, and laughter. More than just an adventure, the event carried a deeper purpose — raising funds for underprivileged families, the elderly, ethnic minorities, orphans, and children with disabilities. And unlike traditional fundraising events, this was a day to celebrate, connect, and make a difference—proving that doing good can also be wickedly joyful and uplifting!

At the kick-off ceremony, I stood alongside six Caring Ambassadors—Mr. Kimman Wong, Ms. Mei Ni Cheung, Ms. Pamela Cheung, Ms. Icy Wong, Ms. Ophelia Chung, Mr. Yeung Chiu Hoi and Ms. Inez Leong, the Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club’s Wellness Ambassador. The atmosphere was electric, with fans cheering for their beloved pop artists, and when we declared, “Let the adventure begin!”, excitement filled the air.

The Unbeatable Spirit

I got started in this line of work in 1987 when I was a young, idealistic project in charge. While Hong Kong grappled with a sustainable solution to the tens of thousands of refugees who were arriving from Vietnam, my role was to teach them professional skills so that they could get jobs. What I quickly learned during those exciting and often chaotic years became the foundation for everything Christian Action (CA) does today and helped propel us to become one of Hong Kong’s largest training and retraining organizations!
