Santa's Surprise

Children from families that have migrated to Hong Kong from mainland China frequently find themselves at a disadvantage in our community. Their mothers are either low-income earners or unable to work, so they are dependent on welfare.

We've called the carnival One People One City. But whenever we celebrate the benefits of living here, we must also remember the suffering of those who 'fall between the cracks' in our communities.

His experience as a volunteer helped to clarify his goals, so he wasted no time getting down to doing what he does best: mobilizing. Tong-Tong is a walking testimony to that!
