Feb 2011:

During major festivities like Chinese New Year, neglected and lonely people especially the elderly are particularly vulnerable to depression and suicides.  Overwhelmed with compassion, Giving Bread distributed breads, Nian Gao and lai see packs almost everyday for two weeks during Chinese New Year holiday period.  Visited cage homes, elderly homes, elderly housing estates, homeless shelters and nursery centers.  Also gave bread and laisee packs to elderly sitting in the cold in the public parks and outdoor areas.

Visited cage home.  Witnessed first-hand how humans live in conditions much worse than domestic dogs, and yet the rents are the highest per square foot in Hong Kong, possibly even the world!  Heart broken and grieved at the plight of these poor neglected elderly.

Founder of Giving Bread went on solo distributions of breads to housing estates and public parks in Shau Kei Wan.  Apprehensive in the beginning, but very humbled and emotional after the distribution.  To receive is humility.
