SHKP Quarterly

The SHKP-Kwoks’ Foundation has initiated charitable projects in different mainland provinces and cities. In Gansu province for example, the Foundation has carried out a number of anti-poverty projects, including English proficiency training for government officials, scholarships for secondary students and a drinking water supply project. Recently, the Foundation has once again worked with the Dingxi government in Gansu to install solar street lights in several remote mountain villages. A total of 700 families in the villages can now go out safely at night. The project has also enhanced the environment of the villages. Separately, the Foundation has supported promising students from underprivileged families to pursue university studies over the years. Almost 10,000 sponsored students have completed their undergraduate studies so far. Scholarship alumni from Hunan University initiated the New Wing Fund donation project to pass on the spirit of helping others. With the support of the University and the Foundation, the New Wing Fund encourages students to participate in academic research, innovation and entrepreneurship for overall personal development. The Fund has received donations from over 180 scholarship alumni since its launch in the 2019/20 academic year. The first round of donation assessments has been completed, with projects from several students selected for sponsorship.

The team offered a home inspection service and basic renovation work to singleton elderly, disabled and underprivileged families moving into Tung Wui Estate because of redevelopment. The volunteers taught the relevant techniques to community volunteer partners and compiled a ‘Guide to Home Inspection and Basic Renovation Work’ booklet to equip more community volunteers to provide move-in support to those in need in the district. Separately, the volunteers made about 300 creative mask keepers after learning how to paint them on an online platform. The mask keepers were distributed to elderly residents under the Redevelopment of Pak Tin Estate – Neighbourhood Support Programme to brighten up their days amid the pandemic. 集團義工隊繼續在疫情下發放 正能量，再次善用企業專長， 服務社群。早前，義工隊為受 重建影響而調遷往東匯邨的獨 居長者、傷殘人士和有困難的 家庭提供驗樓及基本裝修。義 工隊更將相關技巧傳授予「新 地社區義工夥伴」，並編製了 一本「驗樓及裝修小錦囊」， 讓他們加深了解，同時也可以 為區內其他有需要人士提供入 伙支援。 另外，義工隊利用網上平台， 學習製作彩繪口罩盒，並親手 製作了 300 多個圖案精美的口罩 盒，透過「白田邨重建 – 友情人 鄰里計劃」，送給邨內長者使 用，為他們的抗疫生活增添色 彩。 Community volunteers learn basic home-inspection techniques from the SHKP volunteers 新地義工將基本驗樓技巧傳授予社區義工 19
