Opera in Concert - La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini, organised by the Haven of Hope, SAR Philharmonic Charitable Foundation and Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, was held on 16 June 2009. Around HK$0.5 million was raised to support the Haven of Hope Holistic Care Centre to provide free psycho-social-spiritual care for the patients of the Centre as well as their family members.

The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club launched the “The Clearwater Bay Charity Pro-Am Tournament 2009” on 22 April 2009 (Wednesday), which has raised about HK$500,000 for the Haven of Hope Holistic Care Centre. Around 100 golfers were recruited and there was a golf coach for each flight, who could share the golf-related skills to the players. The golfers enjoyed the tournament very much because they could show their care to the needy people through such an interesting tournament.

People have dreams. The healthier people can make their dreams come true with their own capability. However, those needy people have to seek the help from others to fulfill their dreams……

A Pair of Simple Cloth Shoes Can Bring Happiness to an Elderly
