「曼德拉日」　鼓勵每一個人踏出一小步，從奉獻67分鐘的時間開始。

這67分鐘只是一個開始。不論是個人還是團體，就由小小的行動開始。小至給老人讀報、減少用水、捐贈你的舊書到學校圖書館等；大至發起一些義工活動，為更多人提供參與社區服務的機會。

就讓你的雙手，讓世界變得更美好。

The International Mandela Day initiative involves citizens pledging to volunteer 67 minutes of their time engaged in worthwhile causes.

Voluntary and Community Organisations, charities and those alike would identity volunteering opportunities e.g. reading to the elderly, helping them with outreach work or their cultural programs and citizens would have the opportunity to pledge 67 minutes of their time to carry out specific tasks.

It’s in your hands to make a difference.

Sign your pledge. ** Email us at [email protected], let us know what are you going to do for your community. If you are seeking more people to join your activities, leave us your contact details (name, contact no.)

    日期 Date : 2012.07.14 (星期六, Sat)

    地點 Location : PathFinders premises in Kowloon

    關於活動 About:

    Each year, thousands of migrant women, most of whom enter Hong Kong as Foreign Domestic Helpers, find themselves as new mothers. They are undocumented, with no right to work in Hong Kong, no access to social and medical services. They do not have the support of friends and are very often ostracised by their families. They are very often the victims of abuse. They desperately need someone to trust.  PathFinders is a donation-funded charity whose mission is to break this hopeless cycle and help these women and their children find a safe and legal way home.

    SAAHK are going to run a pilot SEWING SKILLS course to teach these women the basic principles of sewing – a skill that will help them while they are waiting to find their way home, and one they can use once they are settled in their home countries. Initially they are in desperate need of maternity clothing and summer clothes for the newborn babies, but with a little confidence and practice – this could become a range!

    This pilot skills programme will initially be held at the PathFinders premises in Kowloon generously sponsored by The Sewing Lounge, with bolts of fabric kindly donated by SAAHK members.  The initial group will be for 12-15 people.
