Care Apparel Association Limited

HealthHuman Services

我們的任務 “​衣服傳關愛 ” 衣、食、住、行是生活的必需品，而“衣”就爲生活之中最不可或缺的東西： ​ 長者和殘疾人士往往因行動不便或肢體上的變異，使他們在衣著上面對不少困難。一般市場上的衣服未能幫助或滿足他們的需要，但具有功能性特別設計的衣服可幫助他們解決穿著方面的困難，甚至修飾身體上的缺陷，從而改善生活質素，使他們重拾自信。當科技及醫療發展日趨進步，人均壽命普遍延長，我們對老弱人士生活困難及提昇生活質素的工作包括特別設計的衣物服務亦需多加關注及改善。 ​​ ​從事勞動工作的人士因工作的關係，經常要面對不少職業安全風險，亦有時會在惡劣環境下工作。雖然一般市場上已經有很多個人保護設備產品供應，但是在需要考量成本的前提之下，該些衣服或設備是未必能完全滿足普羅大衆的實際需要。隨社會節奏加快，勞動人口面對嘅不但止是自動化生產以至全球一體化所帶來的挑戰。爲了幫助大眾迎接時代的沖擊，協會將竭力研發及改良個人保護裝備，以提升勞動人口競爭力及生活水平。

Yan Chai Hospital

EducationHealth

Tsin Wan (with the meaning of “shallow bay”), the original name of Tsuen Wan, was a small town along the coast and hills of West New Territories with low population and poor transportation. The local residents mostly engaged with fishing and farming. In the mid-20th century, the Hong Kong Government planned to develop Tsuen Wan as one of the “Satellite Towns”. Since then, Tsuen Wan was developed rapidly. Influx of working labours and grassroots led to insatiable demand of medical facilities, as there was only one clinic in the district, the “Tsuen Wan Trade Association Residents Clinic”. Residents in Tsuen Wan could only go to Kowloon for better medical treatments. On 15 June 1959, Mr. Yip Tak-fan, the Chairman of Tsuen Wan Trade Association, proposed to build a local hospital to cope with increasing medical demands. He lined up local leaders and businessmen, Mr. Chow Kwan-shing, Mr. Hui Tim, Mr. Yau Tze-tin and Mr. Ho Chuen-yiu, and started the preparatory work for the establishment of Yan Chai Hospital. In early 1962, the Tsuen Wan Trade Association formed the "Organising Committee for the Founding of Yan Chai Hospital". Unfortunately, Mr. Yip Tak-fan fell sick from overwork and passed away on 25 August 1962. Mr. Deacon Chiu Te-kan was elected to the Chairman of the Tsuen Wan Trade Association and carried on Mr. Yip’s unfinished mission. In that period, Tsuen Wan Rural Committee provided great assistance for the establishment of Yan Chai Hospital.

Island Waldorf School Limited

Education

Started in September 2017, Island Waldorf School is the first school on Hong Kong island to offer high quality Waldorf education to children aged 3-14. It is also a non-profit, bilingual Waldorf school. By 2021/22, we offer classes from lower kindergarten to Class 6. We will grow organically by adding one more class over each of the following years until we reach grade 8. Our campuses are located in Kennedy Town and Shek Tong Tsui and are easily accessible by public transport. Given the prevalence of highly stressful exam-oriented educational cultures in Asia, and also with recent events inflicting varying degrees of individual and collective trauma, the health-giving quality of the Steiner Waldorf education is much needed by the children and their families in Hong Kong. The pedagogy helps children develop physical, emotional, intellectual, personal, social, artistic, and practical skills in an integrated and holistic manner; truly an education of the head-heart-hands. With strong emphasis on freedom and creativity, a high value is placed on child-initiated play in the early years, imagination in the primary school and critical thinking at secondary level. Diversity among children is embraced in an atmosphere of trust and reverence of the individual, the community, and the earth. The Island Waldorf School offers this healing education in Hong Kong since 2017. The student body has grown from 11 to 100 with classes from kindergarten to Class 6. IWS will add classes yearly until Class 8. IWS is entirely funded by parents' contribution and community donations. Find out more about us at iws.edu.hk!

CODA Hong Kong Limited

Human Services

本會簡介 根據外國資料統計，約九成聾人父母的子女出生為健聽，其雙語、雙文化（手語及口語、聾人及健聽文化）的特點，往往被社會忽略，引致教育及福利配套不足，窒礙聾人子女的身心靈發展。聾人子女的英文簡稱為“CODA” (Children of Deaf Adults)，香港聾人子女協會是香港政府認可慈善機構，屬亞洲地區的第一個註冊CODA會，於2013年正式成立，旨在協助香港的CODA認知自己雙語、雙文化的獨特身份，學習成長、發展潛能，從而建立互助社群及積極的人生觀。CODA是聾人家庭的下一代，因此本會亦致力關注香港的聾人權益和手語政策，從教育、倡議、出版、學術研究等多方面入手，向公眾人士和不同持份者 (stakeholders) 推廣手語及聾人文化意識，協力締造聾健共融的社會。 ABOUT US According to statistics overseas, 90% of Children of Deaf Adults (CODA) are hearing. Naturally, CODAs are bilingual (of both sign and oral languages) and bicultural (of both hearing and non-hearing cultures). However, such an important aspect has largely been overlooked by the society. The education and welfare package for CODAs is far from adequate. The development of intellectual, physical and emotional health of CODAs has suffered as a result. CODA(HK) is the first of its kind in Asia. Established in 2013, its objectives are to help CODAs of Hong Kong understand and acknowledge their special identity as bilingual and bicultural, learn and develop potential skills, build a self-help community, and adopt positive outlooks of life. CODAs are the second generation of deaf people. We are therefore concerned about government policies of deaf welfare and sign language. Through education, advocacy, publication and academic research, we promote knowledge of sign language and deaf culture to the public and various stakeholders. We believe in building a society in which the deaf and the hearing integrate harmoniously. 宗旨 凝聚聾人家庭的子女，彼此守望扶持，建立正面價值觀，肯定自我身份。 建立聾人父母與健聽子女之間良好的溝通和關係，促進家庭和諧。 發揮手語雙語文化身份，提高手語地位、推廣聾人文化意識。 作為聾人家庭的一份子，積極爭取聾人應有的權利。 凝聚各方面關心聾人文化、支持聾人權益的健聽人士，共同推動聾健共融的社會。 OBJECTIVES To gather children of deaf adults so that they can support and care for each other, develop positive values, and achieve self-acknowledgement of their identity; To promote family cohesion and facilitate communication between deaf parents and CODAs; To celebrate CODAs’ bilingual and bicultural identity, and raise the public’s awareness of sign language and deaf culture; To actively fight for basic rights of deaf people; To unite and align with hearing people from various walks of life, who are concerned about, and supportive of deaf culture and deaf rights; to build a society in which the deaf and the hearing integrate harmoniously. 目標 通過教育、自助、倡議等方法，協助聾人的健聽子女成長、促進聾人家庭和諧、推動社會聾健同行的文化。 GOALS Through means of education, self-help, advocacy etc., (i) help CODAs develop and grow; (ii) promote harmony in deaf families; (iii) mobilise the society in creating a culture of the hearing and the deaf walking together, hand-in-hand. https://www.instagram.com/codahk/ https://www.youtube.com/@CODAHongKong
