就讀小二的鋒鋒與母親及弟妹居於狹小的劏房，單親的媽媽是越南華僑，不諳中、英文，坦言「不識字，未能教導孩子」是她生活上最大的困難。2020年11月起，鋒鋒到基督教勵行會旺角服務中心接受課餘託管服務，媽媽表示：「有人幫到他做功課，我就開心。希望他學業能跟上進度，讀好書。」鋒鋒的弟妹也受惠於中心的服務，妹妹數個月大時得到物資援助，包括奶粉及尿片等，減輕了媽媽的負擔，「如沒有這些支援，我跟孩子只能不吃早餐以節省金錢。」

現時約三歲的健健在襁褓時被發現呼吸微弱、臉色發紫，其後獲安排送到基督教勵行會海西州兒童福利院。經過醫院搶救後，健健保住了性命，但留院時醫生發現其心臟、肺部及胃部有其他症狀，建議他到西寧作進一步檢查。2018年6月，基督教勵行會安排健健前往西寧接受治療，並提供康復訓練，至2019年，其健康狀況基本上已回復正常。

Children hungry for knowledge

Primary Two student Feng Feng lives with his mother and siblings in a tiny sub-divided flat. His single mother, who was originally from Vietnam and speaks only limited Chinese and English, regarded “being illiterate and incapable of helping the children with their homework” as her toughest challenge. Since November 2020, Feng Feng has enrolled in the afterschool childcare programme at Christian Action’s Mongkok Service Centre. His mother happily shared, “I am glad that someone at the Centre can help him with his homework. I hope he can catch up and study well.” Feng Feng’s younger siblings also benefited from the services provided by the Centre. When his sister was only a few months old, the family received material aids, including baby formulas and diapers, which helped ease the single mum’s burden. She said, “Without the aids, we would have to skip breakfast to save money for those items.”

Jian Jian, who is now about three years old, was drawing a faint breathe with a pale face when he was found abandoned. He was sent to Haixi Children’s Home immediately. The boy’s life was saved after emergency treatment in the hospital, but the doctor discovered other symptoms in his heart, lungs and stomach during hospitalisation and made recommendation to transfer him to Xining for further examination. In June 2018, Christian Action arranged a transfer for Jian Jian to Xining for treatment, together with rehabilitation training exercises. He has basically restored normal health as of 2019.

Our charitable cause continues to go strong amidst the year-long COVID-19 pandemic that has caused an acute increase in the number of children and families in need. Owing to the epidemic, our annual 3-Legged Charity Walk will be held online this year, offering more convenience and flexibility to the participants. I would like to take this opportunity to call upon members of the society and generous donors to render their support for our organisation so that we can continue to serve low-income families in Hong Kong as well as orphans and children with disabilities in Qinghai. Thank you!”
