District matter (For April)
It is the 10th month of RY2021-22. The countdown is on. It’s just months to go, and the party mood is already in the air here. I sincerely long for the real celebration for having a fruitful Serve to Change Lives year.
With the further relaxation of social distancing measures, District events started resuming. It’s a relief that the PI Seminar 2.0, 62nd District Conference and RYLA camp can be hosted physically by the end of May and early June.
Disaster Relief Fund
We continued our work on helping the low income of Hong Kong’s population. Thank you Area 1 in Macau for their generosity. Together with the Disaster Relief Fund, a total expenditure of HKD112,000 was allocated to “友商有糧”, a campaign partnering with the Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council, hoping to help the underprivileged in Hong Kong.
Area 7 also delivered the joint project “健康傳耆顯愛心” in April. With the network of Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council, the two hosting clubs, Rotary Club of Dragon Hong Kong and Rotary Club of Homantin Hill, got reach to elderly who are living at a relatively remote area. A total expenditure of HKD131,000 was allocated to provide food and epidemic prevention supplies for over 400 elderly.
PoA Photo/ Video Competition
The People of Action Photo/ Video Competition came to an end. The competition aims to urge Rotarians to capture action photos showing how they help the community, highlighting what we can achieve. Photos taken during service projects can gain extensive exposure on websites and in social media. Thank you all participating Clubs for your support. Whether or not you are the winner, you are all awarded with valuable memory. The photos and videos illustrate that we are all People of Action!
Charity Sale for Breast Cancer Patients_RC Bayview Sunshine
The Kick Off Ceremony of “絲絲暖我心”, a campaign partnering with Global Chinese Breast Cancer Organizations Alliance(GCBOCA) was held at the GCBOCA centre on 15 April 2022. Rotary Club of Bayview Sunshine manufactured silk scarves for charity sale. The fund raised will be used for purchasing medical devices to relieve or eliminate symptoms associated with post breast surgery complications for breast cancer patients and breast cancer survivors.
COVID-19 Rehabilitation Programme on Elderly
Joined hands with three service partners, Rotary Club of City Northwest Hong Kong, sponsored the COVID-19 Rehabilitation Programme on Elderly, targeting to rehabilitate and follow up with elderly aging over 55 who recovered from Covid-19. All participants regained strength after receiving a two-month rehabilitation training. It is very encouraging to hear the result.
Marching in to the year of Imagine Rotary
While the current District team is now wrapping up their work, the incoming District Governor Norman Lee and his team are preparing for the next year’s theme of “Imagine Rotary”. Mongolia PETS and PETS 2 accomplished successfully on 9-10 April and 23 April respectively. Let’s equip ourselves and get prepared to Imagine Rotary.
Area of April – Area 4
Area 4 managed to organize four joint Clubs project this Rotary Year. Feel free to learn more about how our fellow Rotarians Serve to Change Lives from the links below.
五月份總監月報(四月份事務)
2021-22扶輪年度轉瞬已過去十個月,進入倒數階段。本人亦憧憬在本年度完結時可與社友們一起回顧多姿多采、「以服務改善人生」的一年。
隨著社交距離限制進一步放寬,地區活動亦逐步回復。萬幸的是,對於PI Seminar 2.0、第62屆地區年會和RYLA皆可於五月底和六月初順利舉行。
地區危難援助基金
對於因應疫情而推行的援助服務,我們亦不敢鬆懈。感謝第一地域澳門地區對香港受助人的關懷,連同地區危難援助基金,撥款共112,000 港元至與鄰舍輔導會合辦的「友商有糧」計劃,向受疫情影響的低收入人士伸出援手。
第七地域亦於四月推行「健康傳耆顯愛心」聯社服務。香港騰龍扶輪社和何文田山扶輪社與鄰舍輔導會攜手,透過其網絡接觸逾400名出行較為不便的長者,將食物和防疫用品等物資派遞上門。是次服務共花費131,000港元,期望所派送的物資能解受助長者的燃眉之急。
PoA 相片/影片比賽
比賽已完成收集各社作品的階段,比賽致在促使社友記錄回饋社會的過程,彰顯扶輪「以服務改善人生」的理念。所拍的照片和影片在網頁和社交媒體中得到廣泛的傳播。感謝所有參賽的扶輪社,無論得獎與否,各位皆得到寶貴的回憶。相片和影片正正反映扶輪社友是「行動的人」。
為乳癌病人籌款
香港海景驕陽扶輪社與全球華人乳癌組織聯盟合辦的「絲絲暖我心」於2022年4月15日舉行開幕典禮。香港海景驕陽扶輪社生產並義賣真絲絲巾,並以所得款項添置檢測及康復儀器,讓乳癌患者及康復婦女在治療過程中及手術後得到更好的照顧。
長者疫後陽光計劃閉幕典禮
港城西北扶輪社與三名服務夥伴合作,舉辦長者疫後陽光計劃, 為55歲以上新冠肺炎康復的長者提供為期兩個月的培訓。康復的長者經過復康的培訓後身體得以恢復。此項目有助受助長者回復健康生活,計劃成效令人鼓舞。
