Loving the Elderly

We will all be elderly one day! As a society, Hong Kong is aging rapidly, and with this reality come many challenges. Many of our elderly residents are lonely - and that's where we can step in and serve them.

The opportunity to teach and influence university students is a privilege I have been given for some years. Some of these young adults may one day be the leaders in Hong Kong or some other part of the world.
Leadership is too often seen as having power. My view is that servant leadership is the way to go.
Every year, I have the privilege of giving lai see packets to staff at our New Horizons headquarters. I also visit our Christian Action centres to meet with our hardworking teams and have fellowship with them.
This year we went to the Sheung Shui Centre, the Community Sales Outlet in Tin Shui Wai station, and the Tsuen Wan Centre. I was very encouraged by the staff in all three places. It was the perfect time to get to know each centre's needs in order to plan for the year ahead.
We recently shared the news of four children in Qinghai who we have been privileged to serve on their individual journeys towards healing. Xiao Rang, a twelve-year-old Tibetan girl, was one of the four. Christian Action was recently presented with a beautiful 'thank you' plaque from her family, so we want to share with you more of her story.
On two Sundays this month, we got to share the global love of soccer with 24 children from low-income and ethnic minority families. We took them to training sessions organised by Chelsea FC Soccer School (HK), our 3-Legged Charity Walk Caring Coach. In addition to two coaches, former football star and Chief Operating Officer of the school Leslie Santos came to offer support and encouragement to our young athletes.
