Opportunity Details
Creating Christmas cards for refugee children
Description: Christmas is the season of love and blessing. Yet, for Hong Kong's asylum seeking children daily life in Hong Kong is challenging as their families deal with the ongoing trauma that led them to flee their home country and they wait for their refugee applications to be processed. Due to the COVID-crisis, they have had to self-isolate for much of this year, their mental health may be at stake. Help from the city’s volunteers is needed to send love and blessings to these vulnerable children, who are in need of social connection and care for their emotional well-being.
Volunteer roles:
· Grab some plain cards or thick paper – we ask each volunteer to provide 5 Xmas cards.
· Write a message and decorate on each card to share support, blessings and good wishes over Christmas and New Year (in English and/or with some Chinese words). Bear in mind these will be received by the refugee children.
· Feel free to be creative and have some fun with this! Get as colourful as you like to help make the recipient's day.
· You will need to mail your cards to the HandsOn team on or before December 8th, 2020.
· We will email participating volunteers to provide the delivery address and date by which we need your cards for delivering to households. Volunteers will receive a detailed service reminder email on or before November 29th, 2020.
