We extend our heartfelt thanks to over 200 friends who participated in our event titled “Come Together, Igniting Hope,” held last week. Among the young individuals we have supported and accompanied over the years, seven shared their inspiring journeys. Additionally, three parents expressed their unwavering dedication and love. Everyone listened attentively to the young people’s stories of growth and transformation, witnessing their emergence from difficult times, their return to school or employment, and their renewed contributions to society—demonstrating that their lives have changed.
We are grateful to our guest of honour, Dr. Lam Ching-choi, Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Mental Health, as well as to the university president, professor and business leaders who took part in the sharing session. They emphasized that young people deserve a second chance.
Attendees came from various sectors, including education, culture, arts, business, social services, counselling, professional organizations, licensing bodies, public institutions, and government departments. They wrote encouraging messages and placed them on a board, collectively adding colour to the lives of young people. We truly appreciate their participation and support.
Because of you, young people understand that even though the path of life can be bumpy, there are many who are willing to accept them, walk alongside them, and ignite hope.
