"Inside Out 2" has been very popular since its launch. This August, Sinomax organised a parent-child movie screening and invited Tuen Mun families to join. All the volunteers, parents and children liked this movie very much. It dispelled misunderstanding of emotions by the general public and encouraged people to face one’s own true feeling. Apart from the movie itself, the debriefing activities on emotion management was also educational.

Many responded to our calls and lent flood victims a helping hand.
