John’s Harrowing Story

Please, please read and share - John (alias), fled persecution in his home country thirteen years ago. He arrived in Hong Kong stateless and hoping and praying that a western country would give him a chance to have a new life.

Hong Kong has more than 15,000 foreigners who are seeking asylum and survival in this expensive city is not easy. Life as a refugee has been a daily struggle for John, his wife and four young children, all of who do not have any formal, migrant status. Still, John has been lucky that the Immigration Department did grant him permission to work. John’s small salary allows them to afford a tiny apartment.

This Gloriously Unique Place and Season

Never, in the course of a year, is it okay to go all out in publicly wishing blessings to others as much as it is right now. With meals, gift-giving and carol services we celebrated Christmas and now, with Chinese New Year just around the corner, this season of spreading joy and love continues!

As a Malaysian living here, I cherish this unique blend of Western and Chinese festive traditions that are only found in Hong Kong. I love coming in to the office and seeing the vibrant red hues, the orange trees, and the fresh flowers. Fai Chun, red pieces of paper with handwritten four-character sayings that convey blessings and prosperity, decorate the entrances, hallways, and offices. It’s gorgeous!
