SHOW YOUR CARE 1 Hongkongers now have a fun and creative way of helping poor children on the mainland — by simply taking photographs. Save the Children Hong Kong is launching its first photo competition on the theme "The Blessed Actions". Entrants are required to capture an aspect of their lives with their camera, 6 The charity, which aims mainly to provide schoo! transport for poor children in rural China, hopes to spread its message through touching images. According to Shirley ‘Wong Wai-kwan, acting executive director of.Save the Children, so far the charity has helped set up 25 schools in China, most of them in Qinghai and Guanxi provinces. It also provides health and hygiene training to teachers. 11The organisation says that people in rural areas value boys more than girls. Girls are expected to shoulder the burden of housework and often cannot attend school. For this reason the charity focuses on promoting education for girls and ethnic minorities. “Taking photos may not directly benefit poor children, but it will raise people's awareness of and concem for their problems," says Ms Wong. 16 Save the Children regularly visits schools in Hong Kong, where photos and videos taken in rural China are shown to students, Ms Wong explains: "By showing the plight of others to Hong Kong youths, we not only make them appreciate what they have ‘more, but also help them develop compassion and kindness. These characteristics are an important part of a good personality.” 21A group of Year Three students from City University, who helped organise the Competition, have leaned a lot from the charity. They approached Save the Children a few months ago and suggested launching a series of promotional programmes as part of-their final-year project, “Inever felt strongly about it until 1 took charge of the programmes," says Stephen Yip 26 Chung-pan, 21. "Although I cannot help a lot, I fee! that I'm contributing by spreading the message to others. hope they would encourage more people to donate money to build schools and provide facilities for the children." The deadline for submitting photographs for the competition is the 15" of January.
