The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, during which people working in different cities go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year with their families and relations. But this year, when people were planning their reunion as usual, devastating snowstorms impacted south China, taking away at least 60 lives, damaging a million houses, cutting off supplies of electricity and food, and paralyzing major transport systems.

This was a time when our fellow countrymen were suffering. And it should be our responsibility to
give a helping hand. In our residence, from 15 Feb to 21 Feb, all Residents¡¦ Associations conducted an Inter-hall Red Packets Donation Campaign to raise funds for the China Snowstorms. We were glad to see that many residents had dropped their money packets in the assigned donation boxes in their hall lobbies.

 




Thanks to the great contribution of our residents and the joint efforts of all RAs, we collected a sum of $10,099.40 in one week to support the relief and reconstruction work to help people affected by the snowstorms. The largest donation came from Hall 8 ($2262.30), followed by JC Humanity Hall (Hall 1), $2216.60. The whole sum was handed over to the HK Red Cross Relief Fund- China Snowstorm, without deducting any costs.

We should express special gratitude to JC Humanity Hall, who initiated
and coordinated his meaningful campaign. The dedication
shown by this campaign suits perfectly their hall feature
¡Xactualising the power of humanity.
