HKYWCA Shed Skin Papa Charity Premiere was held successfully on Dec 9, raising funds for the self-financed Family Wellness Centre in the Kowloon Centre. In the movie Shed Skin Papa, the family experienced an intriguing journey that rebuilt the relationship between the father and son, emphasizing the power of a healthy family.
The Association is honoured to have Ms. Carol Yip, JP, Director of Social Welfare to be the officiating guest. Ms. Yip enjoyed the event and thanked the Association for the efforts throughout the years. She believed that the charity premiere can raise the public’s awareness on family wellness, and hoped the newly established Family Wellness Centre in the Kowloon Centre can help more families in need.
Mrs. Patricia Ling, MH, JP, HKYWCA’s President mentioned in her welcoming speech that “one’s family acts like a lighthouse, which guides us and keeps us company in times of crisis of difficulties.”
In the kick-off ceremony, the guests tore four common problems off the families, i.e. misunderstanding, indifference, disagreement and blame, and brought in four healthy elements, i.e. care, communication, inclusiveness and tolerance, meaning family bonds can be strengthened if family members work together.
The Association would like to express the deepest gratitude to the donors who have made the event successful. HKYWCA has been devoted in enhancing family wellness for the community. We appreciate the kind support from those who joined us in this meaningful event, of which the proceeds will go to our third self-financed Family Wellness Centre in the Kowloon Centre, to support its family counseling services.
