嘉宾庆祝本会成立45周年! Guests celebrating our 45th anniversary!
"The children come first" is the motto of Lady Bremridge, who founded the Hong Chi Association from a class for just four children with intellectual disabilities 45 years ago. Prioritising their needs, as always, we have now grown to be a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing diversified services for about 7,000 people with intellectual disabilities and their families, with the ultimate goal that they can lead a more fulfilling life and integrate into society. In gratitude for our boundless love over the past 45 years, we determined to pay it back by inviting 145 members from needy families in Tai Po and North District to "A Taste of Love" Community Dinner on 7 March. Their hearts were warmed by the fine cuisine generously sponsored by JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, as well as the limited edition cookies and tasteful dessert prepared by our trainees. They also appreciated our trainees' fabulous African drum performance. The evening marked the launch of the Hong Chi 45th Anniversary Celebrations with Mr Matthew Cheung, GBS, JP, Secretary for Labour and Welfare, and Ms Sandra Ng, Director of Human Resources of JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, officiating at the ceremony. Our trainee, King Fu was delighted to help with guest reception for the dinner, and hoped that he could work in the catering industry after graduation. In addition to JW Marriott's contribution, Mr Owen Chan, Chairman of the Hong Chi Association, was thankful for the support of the Tai Po and North District Social Welfare Office of the Social Welfare Department in achieving together our successful tripartite partnership. Special thanks go to Ling Liang Church M H Lau Secondary School for sponsoring the venue.
