Building Tung Chung, Connecting Lives

As Tung Chung rapidly develops, its residents need support from multiple aspects. Supported by TrustTomorrow, The Hong Kong Council of Social Service has partnered up with four local social service organisations, namely InspiringHK Sports Foundation, Playright Children’s Play Association, HKSKH Tung Chung Integrated Services and The Zubin Foundation, to launch the “Building Community, Building Tung Chung” Programme. These NGOs support the community with each of their strengths, proving that the sum is indeed greater than its parts. We believe in the power of making connections. Let’s build a trusting and supportive network in Tung Chung.

Quarryside: Building a dream community

What kind of place makes an ideal community space? Does it need diverse facilities and creative events; should it be a comfortable shared space for the public to enjoy; or should it pass on the area’s history and heritage? You can find all these elements at Quarryside, the newly launched community space in Quarry Bay! The HKSAR Government, Swire TrustTomorrow, St. James’ Settlement and Swire Properties joined forces to create a new, vibrant experience for all within this space.

Unleashing the Power of Music

All it takes is one opportunity for young musicians to develop their talent and pave the way for a career. The Orchestra Academy Hong Kong (TOA) offers exactly that. Co-directed by the HK Phil and the School of Music of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), TOA’s Fellowship Programme and Young Pro Platform aim to offer professional training for HKAPA graduates and provide the chance to stage themed concerts, giving young musicians a head start in the orchestra industry. TOA members will also get to showcase their gifts to the community through volunteering activities. Let’s take a look at 28 young people who are on this musical journey.

Hope for the Future

“It is not about running away – it is about running towards a more hopeful future.” As a long-distance runner, Virginie believes that sports can make a great impact on our lives. It is why she founded RUN Hong Kong with the aim of helping refugees recover from physical and mental trauma and regain a positive outlook on life through sports and education. By running and hiking outdoors together, refugees in similar predicaments can try to get out of their slumps and move forward in life with new-found confidence and hope.

Let’s keep going forward

“We will not stop; we will keep challenging ourselves and get there – slowly but surely.” To many, getting to the finish line means fighting for first place. However, to Kim and the Fearless Dragons Running Club, it symbolises the spirit of not giving up. Although he has been blind since childhood, Kim is not discouraged by his inability to see. As the founder of the Hong Kong Network for the Promotion of Inclusive Society and the world’s first-of-its-kind Fearless Dragons running club, he helps people with disabilities to integrate into society. The club consists of runners with visual or hearing impairments along with able-bodied pacers, where a runner and pacer both hold onto the same tether as they head towards every finish line. Driven by the motto “Can’t see. Can’t hear. Can marathon” and Kim’s encouragement, the runners first started with 3km runs before working their way up to 5km and full marathons! No matter far you fall behind, you can still cross the finish line if you keep going forward and do not give up.

A Story of Healing

“All people have the fundamental right to feel good in their bodies and minds and to be part of a caring community regardless of their background or ability.” Over the years, yoga instructor Hersha’s students have included stroke survivors, rare disease sufferers, and even prosthetic limb wearers – people for whom yoga is particularly beneficial, as it can help relieve their physical pain. In doing so, Hersha realised that people who actually need yoga therapy the most are often those who cannot afford it. The revelation inspired her to establish the YAMA Foundation with an aim to provide well-being services, such as yoga lessons, to Hong Kong's most vulnerable communities.

Restoring an Endangered Habitat

“The best way that you can conserve nature over the long term is actually to come see and experience it.” Eight years ago, Marine said goodbye to the fashion world and embarked on an entirely different path. She joined The Nature Conservancy in Hong Kong as a volunteer and worked her way up to where she is now. When she steps onto the mudflats to look for endangered horseshoe crabs, Marine feels a deep and unbreakable bond with nature. Marine and her team strive to restore the mudflat habitats and reconfigure the oyster reefs, and strengthen the public’s connection with nature so that more people will join her in protecting and cherishing the environment.

Dare to Break Barriers

“Walter can be anything except for a pilot.” As a child, Walter was diagnosed with retinal degeneration, which left him with only 30% vision. Despite his condition, Walter’s mother always encouraged him to try new things. He won a place at The Chinese University of Hong Kong after achieving one A and two Bs in his A-Levels, and interned at German and Hong Kong investment banks. Although his résumé was impressive, his visual impairment remained a significant barrier to employment. This challenge inspired him to establish the Care-ER Association, which is dedicated to improving the career prospects of people with disabilities and fostering workplace inclusion.

A Lost Soul Finds His Way Back

“Homeless is not helpless. Helping others is helping yourself.” As a young man, Chi Chuen earned a decent living in the catering industry. Unfortunately, he lost his savings to alcoholism and gambling, and ended up living on the streets for a decade. With help from Christian Concern For The Homeless Association, he kicked his bad habits and joined the Association leading its Light Walker Tours in Sham Shui Po, where he educates people on the lives of the homeless. He believes that helping others is helping oneself, and he is driven by this mission today. He wishes to instil hope in others by sharing his story and proving that change is possible.

A Wanderer’s Tale

“It had been a long time since I had spoken to anyone. They even asked me what I wanted!” Looking back, Ah Lik is still moved by the memories of the ImpactHK volunteers he met on one of their Kindness Walks a few years ago, in particular, the children who shook his hand and talked with him. For years, Ah Lik had lived without much food nor shelter, spending his days feeling hungry, desperate, and alone. When he was invited by the volunteers to the 29 community centre, Ah Lik felt his heart melt from the kindness shown. Now as a full time assistant at the centre, Ah Lik has not only found employment, but also friendship, care, and a sense of belonging. Today, Ah Lik hopes to help other homeless people rejoin society – just as the ImpactHK volunteers helped him do so back then.

A Journey in Marine Conservation

“Every little bit counts, and every person counts” Dr Celia Schunter, who comes from southern Germany, is an assistant professor at the Swire Institute of Marine Science. She became fascinated by the ocean as a child and always wanted to be a marine biologist. Today, as marine ecosystems rapidly degrade, Celia and her team are studying how different species might respond to the acidified oceans of the future and how to protect organisms that might struggle to adapt. Every piece of research fits together to help us understand how to preserve the beauty of nature and protect our oceans.

Opening Up Future Possibilities

“I hope to broaden my students’ horizons through education and open their eyes to a bigger world.” Kenny counts himself lucky to have grown up in a good environment with abundant learning resources. When he came across Teach For Hong Kong, Kenny felt a calling to promote educational equity, so he quit his consultancy job to become a teacher. His approach goes beyond textbooks, inspiring grassroots students to plan for their futures and forge their own paths.

An Inspirational Mentor On A Musician's Journey

A mentor can help us to develop our strengths and achieve our goals. Funded by TrustTomorrow, The Orchestra Academy Hong Kong (TOA) aims to nurture young local musicians. Candidates admitted to TOA’s Fellowship Programme will have the opportunity to train intensively at the HK Phil and received one-on-one guidance from professional musicians under mentorship scheme. Benjamin Moermond (Ben), Principal Bassoon with the HK Phil, is Fox’s mentor. In addition to discussing technique and performance, Ben also advises Fox on daily practice, concerts , auditions and more. This has helped Fox to improve both his bassoon skills and his confidence – valuable gains in his musical journey. Ben remarked, “Fox was perhaps a bit shy for the first few weeks but he grew tremendously during the programme. By the end of the season, he was fully comfortable performing with the orchestra!”

A Passion-driven Story in Animation

“Believe in me, just as I’ve always believed in you.” A sudden diagnosis compelled Him to reconsider what mattered to him in life. After chancing upon an advertisement for courses at Act Plus, he decided to pursue his childhood dream in animation and turn his hobby into a career. Since then, he has taken part in the production of “The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes”, a Hong Kong-made animated movie. He has also faced many failures and setbacks along the way. Today, as an animation tutor, he hopes to help underprivileged students find their strengths and goals in life.
