Facing the World

On September 3, two young Torontonians put down their work and walked two thousand kilometers from Saint John, Newfoundland to Toronto in order to raise funds that would go towards tuition for children in Guangxi, China. They personally paid for all expenses for the trip.

These two friends are Eddie Hui and Tony Wong; both emigrated from Hong Kong and now work for the mass media. Their trip stemmed from the Growing Seeds Project organized by the Culture Regeneration Research Society. Details can be found at www.crrstoronto.org.

Moreover since beginning of this year, Winnie Yang, one of the Sunday school catechists from our parish, joined World Vision’s poverty relief efforts and is now servicing communities in Xinjiang.

We all have different ideas and goals for our lives but it is important to lead meaningful and constructive lives. If you have the chance, it may be worth it to break away from your individual normality and demonstrate to others the philanthropic spirit that has been long forgotten in our society.
