HK Arbitration Charity Ball Limited

Human Services

The Hong Kong Arbitration Charity Ball (HKACB) is held annually to raise funds to support local Hong Kong charities and assist in the development of arbitration across Asia. ​ While we are aware that the past three years have been challenging for most of us on many levels, we also know that charities in Hong Kong struggle even more now with less resources and more people in need for their help. This is why we are making a point to raise as much money as possible to support two charities who do fantastic work in Hong Kong, namely the Refugee Union and Wise Women. ​ We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our two main sponsors, Alvarez & Marsal and BRG for their continuous support to HKACB!

茫茫業海，芸芸眾生。綱紀敗壞，名教沉淪。人間蠅營狗苟者眾，追名逐利如中蠱毒，醉生夢死如飲狂泉，遂致三尸五毒交煎，原罪業障連綿。更有甚者，與眷屬仇敵生生世世輾轉輪迴六道，綑綁難分，最終永墮地獄，無有出期。 東周戰國時期，孟子曾對滕文公曰：「世衰道微，邪說暴行有作，臣弒其君者有之，子弒其父者有之。孔子懼，作春秋。」諸君見文思義，自可想像當時各類邪說歪理四起、暴行惡事不息。各人在權色名利之前，父母不慈、子女不孝、臣民不忠、君主不仁。甚麼五常十善九美德全皆拋諸腦後，令到家國社稷如火坑苦海，人間永無寧日，地獄恆添新囚。 時至今天，雖距孟聖離世逾二千三百年，其聖言仍乃當今天下寫照。有見及此，香港有一信士，深明欲挽狂瀾，非佛莫屬，唯道是卜，遂發心立願要在此大都會中，建立一所道場，方便善信隨時也能前往讀誦《地藏王菩薩本願經》迴向給十方三界六道眾生。此大信士，即前雲鶴山房主持梁景文道長是也。 梁道長立此願後，遂向　呂純陽祖師問乩賜示具體細節。首張乩文告知梁道長，虛空藏菩薩、地藏王菩薩及呂祖仙師均會長駐於此道場。呂祖仙師並賜與本祠「二藏仙祠」之名，以分別代表本祠能為「天地人」三界眾生服務之深意。

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!

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。
