Wai Yin Society 26th Annual Report

Mrs. Juanita Yau 邱李惠霞 女士 Chairperson 主席
Time really does fly. It seems like just yesterday that I wrote my last report as Chairlady of Wai Yin. This has been a very difficult year for us, as well as a remarkable one.
It has been remarkable because we changed our name to Wai Yin Society. The change of name reflects the true nature of our services and was decided after consulting with the staff, core volunteers and the Board of Wai Yin. Since 2007, we have been providing services to Indian, Pakistani, Eastern European, Bangladeshi and Somali communities, amongst others. This transition was greatly encouraged by our successful Education, Training and Employment projects. It has not been limited to our education team, but has also been seen in our Family Unit: our Youth Project has begun to work with Somali young people, to offer them the same services and activities that our Chinese young people have available to them. I want to thank the staff in these projects for their hard work and dedication.

時光飛逝,上一次作為慧妍社主席總結報告猶如昨日。今年對於我們來說是很艱辛的一年,亦是成果非常顯著的一年。

顯著的原因之一是我們將名字改為了慧妍社。改名體現了我們服務的真心所向,並在員工、核心志願者和理事會的一致同意下通過了改名事宜。自從2007年度開始,我們已將服務延伸到印度、巴基斯坦、東歐、孟加拉國和索馬里社區。這次的轉型由我們成功的教育、培訓及就業計劃組大力支持。但這服務並不止步於教育團體,在我們家庭組裡也很常見:我們的青年計劃(Youth Project)已開始包括索馬里青年,給他們提供與中國青年同樣的服務和活動。我想謝謝為此計劃付出的工作人員,謝謝他們在此計劃中辛勤勞作和盡心盡力。
