新年蒙福，心懷盼望 — Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed new year filled with hope in your hearts. ❤️

Kelvin (in the green shirt) is one of the youth that we walk alongside with at Hope of the City. When we first met Kelvin, he had encountered various life challenges which left him experiencing a loss of joy, motivation and direction in his life. Our volunteer, Lorraine, shares below about how joining our charity run has helped change his outlook on life:

“Kelvin experienced many ups and through this running journey, but our fellowship supported him through it. At first, he came to our training with a heavy heart and in the midst of life struggles. He wanted to join Hope of the City’s charity run but when he was told there was not enough space for him to join, he almost quit our fellowship. Thankfully a spot opened up and fast forward one year, he is now our fastest runner and is leading our warm up and run every time! I’m really encouraged by him and grateful to witness his changes.

From someone who doesn’t run to having running as his hobby and becoming our running expert in just one year’s time is truly remarkable. His journey also reminds us that change is possible if we keep going. With the right support and fellowship, we can all find the courage to step out of our own box.

Now running is part of his daily life and he feels it has completely changed his world. Even in the midst of his troubles and stress at work, he is now able to see the world differently through running, and is a much happier person now!”

Kelvin, thank you for being an inspiration to us all with your determination and enthusiasm. We know you'll keep going, and we're so proud of you 🙌

We are deeply saddened by the tragic fire at Wang F*k Court in Tai Po. Our hearts are with the families and individuals affected. 🤍

In response, we’ve set up a special relief fund to support long-term recovery and post-trauma care.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Hong Kong community, the immediate material needs have been met. 🙏

The fund will now focus on:

🏠 Rental assistance for displaced families
🕊️ Counselling and emotional support for those affected

Recovery takes time, but together, we can bring healing and hope. 💫

Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed mid-autumn festival! 中秋節快樂！🥮🌕

We kicked off a brand new season of Mommies Learn English classes last Friday (Sep 26) in both Sham Shui Po and North Point! ✨

It’s such a joy to see our two dedicated veteran teachers continuing to serve with so much passion, enthusiasm, and heart. ❤️

What an incredible summer filled with laughter, creativity, and unforgettable memories with our amazing families and children! Huge thanks to our wonderful volunteers for planning, teaching, and supporting each activity. From arts & crafts to baking and team-building games, every child (and mom!) left with the biggest smiles! 💛
