Today, as we celebrate International Women's Day, not long after the physical abuse of Erwiana S, which caught the attention of the international media, I want to address an insidious issue which is taking place on a far wider scale. The reason I'm doing this today is to encourage you to join me in paying special tribute to domestic migrant workers in Hong Kong.

Loving parents whose children have grown up and left home often miss out on giving and receiving love on a daily basis. And we have children in Xining Children's Home who have a lot of love to give but no parents to give it to.
When loving parents and a child who still needs to give and receive love on a daily basis meet each together, their shared love brings joy to all who know them. It's a life-changing experience!

As a fresh graduate, the first humanitarian aid work I did was helping the Vietnamese settle in England in the 1980's, so the plight of refugees has been close to my heart for a long time.

Instead, the sight she saw when they arrived almost four decades ago was not of fresh apples and cold cokes, but of thousands of rickety boats like theirs crowded into Hong Kong harbor. It was a disappointment she would remember the rest of her life. Recently, Dai Le finally received that apple!

"Shopping and eating!" may well be a prompt and honest response from the average Hong Kong'er if you asked what their hobbies were, especially over the Christmas period. But there are sections of the population for whom shopping sprees and attending family feasts are impossibilities - a heartbreaking situation for single parents who would love to feed their children and buy gifts without worrying about what tomorrow would bring.
