Christian Action, headed by a Sai Kung resident, is an outstanding charity that deserves everyone’s support. You will get a chance on March 17. Show up at the Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club, which will be open to the public for CA’s Three-Legged Charity Walk. All money raised will go to services for under-privileged and disabled children in Hong Kong and Qinghai, Tibet.
Cheung Ang Siew-mei, who lives at Ho Chung, heads Christian Action. It has two main operations: services for migrant workers who get into difficulty in Hong Kong (counseling, paralegal help with Government, hostel stay) and services for orphaned and poor children at Qinghai on the Tibetan plateau (hostel, education, medical care).
On March 17 a large slice of the great and good of Hong Kong’s charity scene will be present. DJ and actor Sammy Leung will attend as “Caring Ambassador”. Artist Jeanie Leung will be “Caring Illustrator”. Clowns will be falling about and children, many disabled, will be playing games.
Events include:
- “Qinghai Children’s Life Journey”, a programme highlighting the challenges of disabled youngsters.
- Football training by Hong Kong’s Chelsea FC Soccer School.
- Three-legged fun racing.
- Family carnival of assorted games and activities.
- Foot golf charity race by corporate teams.
Christian Action’s Three-Legged Charity Walk fund-raising day at the Clearwater Bay club runs from 9am to 2pm. If you would like to register to attend see www.christian-action.org.hk and do so by March 2. You can also donate to this fine charity through the same website.
