14 December, 2008. On that cold day, around

30 volunteers were divided into five groups. They delivered warm clothing to needy elderly in Lam Tin, Pak Tin, Sai Kung, Sheung Shui and Hong Kong Island. Although the elderly knew beforehand they would be visited by volunteers, they were thrilled at what the volunteers had brought them. "I have lived in Lam Tin for more than

10 years. Nobody ever took the initative to concern about my health. These volunteers were willing to listen to my need and they brought me a heater. They even taught me how to use it. They are wonderful people." Mr. Chan, who lives on a CSSA of slightly over $2,000.00 a month, made the above remarks. "I'm so happy today. Santa Claus really exists. They are like angels who have brought me heart-warming concern. I'm very satisfied this winter. "Ms Cheung, who lives by herself, said smilingly. This winter, our 'Bring warmth Campaign ' continued. At the end of first campaign day, over

50 elderly have benefitted from it. Continuing onto the month of January

2009 through co-operation with regional welfare organizations, over

400 helpless needy, the sick and the handicapped received heart-warming concern from thebenevolentdonorsandvolunteers.Theyreceiveddownjackets, scarves, silk-cotton blankets, coats, heaters, electric rice cookers, thermos flasks and electric heaters. The'Bring warmth Campaign' benefits the helpless poor as a result of generous donations as well as voluntary delivery.. In fact, there are many people who need help. We hope that people will continue to donate. Together we help improve the lives of the underprivileged and enable them to live through the Year of the Ox in safety and comfort.
