Stephen Mak

Loyal cash and blood donor

It is not easy to maintain and stick to a habit, let alone sticking to it for more than 30 years. It is even more incredible and respectable for a habit of just giving and not asking anything in return.

 

Rico Chan

Volunteer First Aid Responder

To Rico, providing first aid services is not only looking after the injured on the spot. While it is important to take care of the injured and the sick, it is important not to neglect those with close ties to the injured.

 

Shi Pei-lan and Shi Xin-yu

Student and Parent of the Hong Kong Red Cross John F. Kennedy Centre

Ten-year-old Pei-lan loves exploring the scientific world, and her dad is her best research partner – and the one who helps her to overcome the barriers due to physical disability. Pei-lan suffers from dystonia since born. With assistance from her parents and teachers, she has managed to overcome barriers and learned to stand, walk, write and exercise. She has actively participated in many activities to unleash her potential.

 

Bessy Tam

Tracing Service Staff

Bessy strives to help locate missing family members by crossing the city and searching through different channels. She has been on the job for many years, and she has seen stories of reunion and those who refused to be united. Bessy understands very well that each family has its own problems, but she believes there would be less regrets in the world if there is more understanding between people.

 

Brian Tong

Volunteer of Psychological Support Service

It is not easy to deal with your own’s negative emotions, let alone bearing other people's sadness and anger. However, Brian is willing to spend time and efforts to accompany those in need to cope with emotional distress so that they can walk through the darkest moments in life.
