They Call Me "Mama", & They Mean It!

When I chose to work with orphaned and abandoned children in Qinghai, I never realized how deeply I would care for them. Whenever a child needs help, I imagine that he or she is my own flesh and blood, and then take action. I know that childcare is not easy, but caring for disabled children is even harder. Because I cannot be a full time mother to them, I rely on house mothers. While filming a video for our recent 25th Anniversary celebrations, two of them opened their hearts to me...

Found by "An Angel"

I want to tell you about Xiao-Li and her daughter Mei-Mei. They were excited about moving from Sichuan Province to Hong Kong where her husband Cheng-gong lived and worked. Mei-Mei would finally be re-united with her father. They had arranged to meet him outside the train station in Hong Kong but he was late.

Hong Kong is often labeled a 'world class city', yet people of ethnic minorities, who are a part of our world, still find it difficult to integrate with the Hong Kong community.

Gill Mohinderpual Singh is Christian Action’s official Ambassador, and we are proud to have his support for our programmes which assist with the integration of ethnic minorities. He is known in Hong Kong as Q-BoBo, and is a much loved entertainer and artist as well as being a wonderful example of the positive contribution made by ethnic minorities to our internationally renowned city. He started his career as an officer in the correctional services department, before moving on to become the well known personality he is today. He shared the key to his success.

A Celebration of Giving!

What better way could we have celebrated Christian Action's 25th Anniversary dinner than to have two living examples of whole-hearted giving present with us on that night?

Fifteen-year-old Douge, who faced death two years ago, was with us and was a reminder of the generous giving of all CA's donors over the years who have made it possible for us to care for the children in Xining Children's Home and Huangnan Children's Home. Douge portrayed what happens when donors and volunteer medical teams contribute money and time to help the most helpless in our society.
