即將於5月19日舉行的國際培幼會「愛.女孩」籌款晚會,旨在為培幼會籌募更多經費予「愛.女孩」基金,幫助中國、巴基斯坦及非洲加納等地區的女孩及婦女改善生活及爭取權益。表演即將舉行,各單位也正積極籌備,務求以最佳表現回饋充滿愛心的觀眾,當中甄詠蓓戲劇工作室O Theatre將聯同TEENS為觀眾呈獻節錄自舞台劇《我不是港孩》的精華片段,以及他們的成長小故事。

近年有關「港孩」的報導層出不窮,難得有小朋友以孩子的角度向大人躺開心窗表明心聲,就讓我們於這個充滿愛的晚上,在幫助遠方女孩之餘,也正視「港孩」問題,聽聽這群孩子的感受。即將參與培幼會「愛.女孩」籌款晚會的九位成員年齡介乎十至十三歲,雖然年紀小小,但已於甄詠蓓創辦的PIP藝術學校學習多年,有豐富的舞台經驗,並組成名為「TEENS」的劇團,曾演出舞台劇《我不是港孩》,今次於籌款晚會中將節錄其中最精采的片段。TEENS由約九名成員組成,眾志成城積極籌備是次演出,由排演、走位、燈光、音樂等全都一手包辦,成員各有自己的職責,包括設計單張、處理財務、對外宣傳等,真正以行動告訴大家他們不是嬌生慣養、自理能力低、情緒智商低、抗逆能力低的典型「港孩」!TEENS的成員表示他們不希望被社會標籤,這齣舞台劇除了是他們的心聲,也儼如一場控訴、一場革命,這班年紀小小的孩子可謂說得出也做得到!

國際培幼會「愛.女孩」大使甄詠蓓表示:「香港的小孩很幸福,享有醫療、教育等福利,然而卻因為富裕的物質生活及被過分保護,變成了自我中心的『港孩』。透過『愛.女孩』行動,我們知道在世界的另一些地方,有些孩子卻連生活上的基本需要也得不到滿足,更有些女孩因為與生俱來的性別而被剝削、歧視。即使身處不同地方,我們都要放眼看世界,擴闊視野,瞭解別人所面對的困境,培養同理心,為有需要的人伸出援手。這樣,我們的孩子就能剔除『港孩』惡名,做個懂得關心別人、珍惜所有的好孩子。」

The Plan Because I am a Girl (BIAAG) Charity Show to be held on 19th May, 2012 aims to support the organization’s Girls’ Funds, which endeavour to help  disadvantaged girls and women in developing countries like China, Pakistan and Ghana, Africa improve their living standards and rights. Among the various performing parties that are pulling out the final stops before the show takes place are the O Theatre, founded by Artistic Director Olivia Yan, and TEENS who are going to present an excerpt of the drama “I am not a Hong Kong Kid” and a selection of their personal stories.  

In a time when stereotypes of pampered “Hong Kong Kid” dominate news features about our young generation, it is particularly meaningful that these children stand up to “act back” from their own perspective in front of an adult audience while spreading their love to deprived girls in faraway places. Aged between ten and thirteen, the group of nine has accumulated rich experience in theatre art through training at PIP School, founded by Olivia Yan, and various stage performances. The drama “I am not a Hong Kong Kid”, which will be replayed in excerpt at the Plan Charity Show, is a production of TEENS, the drama team they have formed. Handling every procedure of the production, from rehearsing and blocking to lighting and sound, as well as administration and promotion, the nine TEENS prove with action that they do not belong to the spoiled “Hong Kong Kids” who are typically weak in taking care of themselves, controlling their emotions and coping with adversities. Beyond a self-expressive work, the play is essentially a complaint and a rejection – if not revolution – against the negative labelling.

Plan BIAAG Ambassador Olivia Yan expresses, “Children in Hong Kong are blessed with medical and educational provisions. Unfortunately, pampered from sumptuous material lives and over-protection, many of them have become self-centred ‘Hong Kong Kids’. The BIAAG campaign provides a good opportunity to educate them about the fact that some children in other parts of the world are not even satisfied at the very basic level; some girls are deprived of and looked down on simply because of their gender. Though living in an entirely different world, we must broaden our horizons and look into the sufferings of others, lending a helping hand to the needy with compassion. With such an attitude, our children will soon shake off the notoriety of ‘Hong Kong Kids’ and grow up as loving children who are concerned about others and grateful for what they have.”

About O Theatre

Dedicated to the promotion of theatre art, Hong Kong-based O Theatre Workshop has leveraged on the cosmopolitan nature of its home city in producing quality theatrical works since it was established in 2010. The letter “O” is an intriguing pictograph. First of all, it implicates wonder and surprise, the elements that underpin founder Olivia Yan’s tenacious pursuit in art. Bearing the shape of a circle, it also evokes imagination for the boundless universe, providing a fitting metaphor for the stunning impact of the theatre. Finally, it recalls the full moon, a symbol of reunion in Chinese culture, illustrating Olivia’s mission to re-establish community relationships with love and care.

 

About Plan Because I am a Girl Charity Show

In 2010, Plan International Hong Kong launched the Because I am a Girl (BIAAG) campaign, inviting a number of leading Hong Kong business women in town to be BIAAG Ambassadors. The BIAAG Photo Competition, organised in aid of the cause, was rewarded with solid support and participation from the public. To follow up on its success, Plan is presenting the BIAAG Charity Show on the evening of 19th May, 2012 (Saturday) at HK Jockey Club Amphitheatre, HKAPA. The event is supported by Platinum Sponsor Emperor Jewellery and Silver Sponsor S.S.I. Holding (Far East) Limited. Proceeds will go to the Girls’ Fund in support of the improvement of education and vocational skills, provision of counselling services and microfinance loans as well as other community projects to benefit girls and women in China, Nepal, Pakistan and Ghana. Aiming to eliminate gender inequalities, the BIAAG campaign endeavours to defend the rights of disadvantaged girls, to free them from the poverty trap, and enable them to reach their full potential. Plan believes that the economic empowerment of girls and young women forms the basis for the elimination of poverty, acquisition of substantial benefits and transformation of lives.
