It’s one of the world’s leading financial centers, and has a GDP per capita that is in the global top ten. Yet one in six people in our city are living in poverty, surviving on little more than HK$100 a day. Dear Friends Hong Kong’s needy are all around us, yet often go unnoticed. Low-income children and families, mistreated and abused women, refugees and asylum seekers, the elderly, people with disabilities, and abandoned animals all live side by side us in our community. And they need our help. That’s where HandsOn Hong Kong comes in. We work to make a difference in their lives each day and your donation of time and money makes our work possible. On behalf of the staff and Board of HandsOn Hong Kong, I warmly welcome you to our Inaugural Black & White Ball! This event couldn’t be possible without the generous support of our sponsors, prize donors, volunteers and other supporters – and of course it would be nothing without your presence! I would like to thank every one of you for joining us tonight for this wonderful event. A special mention goes to our generous corporate sponsors – Nomura, our Champion for Change sponsor – and corporate table hosts Blackdog Consultants, Dale Carnegie, Gerson Lehrman Group, Instinet, Linklaters, The Fry Group and The Children’s Place. HandsOn brings together diverse members of our community through volunteerism to drive change in Hong Kong. By bringing together charities, volunteers and corporations, HandsOn Hong Kong develops and manages meaningful volunteer experiences with a hands-on approach every step of the way. Through matching the right resources to the right opportunities and partners, HandsOn allows people to contribute their time to the causes which matter most to them, and enables charities to receive the support they need to serve the community. By leveraging our professional volunteer management system and established network of global affiliates, we aim to build an inspiring community of likeminded individuals and empower them to make a difference for Hong Kong. Highlights of our work to date: • HandsOn Hong Kong has over 4800 registered volunteers. • We organize around 60 volunteer activities each month. • In 2012, HandsOn Hong Kong volunteers contributed over 8,000 hours of service to the community, a 60% increase from 2011. • 600 corporate volunteers gave 2500 hours of service through HandsOn Hong Kong in 2012. As you enjoy a wonderful evening of fine food and wine, great company and lively entertainment, I also hope you keep in mind tonight those less fortunate in our community. Over a million people in our city live in poverty, including 25% of all children and 33% of our elderly. Almost 350,000 people in Hong Kong are living with a disability. HandsOn works in these underserved communities each and everyday and with your help tonight we can continue to make a meaningful difference to the lives of those most in need in our city. Each dollar you donate enables us to work with more charities and community groups to deliver much-needed services. With your help, we can ensure that more underprivileged children have access to after school tutoring; brighten the lives of more disabled children by taking them on memorable outings; improve the living conditions of impoverished elderly people; renovate more neglected schools and other community facilities; and so much more. There are hundreds of other charities in Hong Kong that need HandsOn volunteers, and thousands more individuals that would like to give their time. With more resources, we can work to bring these groups together for the benefit of hundreds of thousands more people in our community. Thank your for being here tonight to help us to bring this vision closer to reality. Let’s have a wonderful evening together in celebration giving back to our community! Yours sincerely Caroline Sprod Executive Director HandsOn Hong Kong 4 5 Live Auction Live Auction Lot 1: Romantic Week for 2 in the Caribbean Lot 3: “Kwun Yum” Lacquer Painting by Ông Thê’ Huy Celebrate your honeymoon, anniversary or just get away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong with an unforgettable holiday!
