Introducing HK to Newcomers

Giving time is just as important as giving money to various charities. At Christian Action we couldn't do without the wonderful service given by many volunteers – especially during the Summer holidays.

In our busy society, we easily forget that it's important for the whole family to have an outing together, and at the same time get to know other families they meet. For newcomers to our city, this is even more important, so we're doing something about it!
We began hosting a community event on July 22, sponsored by Kwun Tong District Council.
We wanted to bring families together to climb a wall at our place - New Horizons Building! There's a lot to gain by putting down all the electronic devices and enjoying a challenging time with the whole family.
How should we protect children who are at risk of exploitation? Most of us would hardly know how and where to begin such a vitally important task. As with anything really important it needs training. So that is what we have been doing - but we're not doing it alone.
An open refugee camp is only a temporary refuge. Home is where there are people who will look out for us and care about our future life. To some people, the New Horizons Building may seem ordinary, but for those who have called it home, it served as a starting place, a place to begin working towards a new and better life.
