Love knows no boundaries. Thanks to the donations of our sponsors, the Home's children were encouraged by our staff to try and learn in many different ways, just as parents do in nurturing their children. On October 5, we organized the sponsor's function, "Shine on Stage", to enable the Home's children and the sponsors to share their talents on stage, and to let the sponsors care for our children in person.

More than 120 sponsors, the Home's children, old boys and girls as well as guests attended the event. The event was kicked off with a welcoming speech by the Home's Chief Executive, Ms. Silvia Mak, followed by a short video show and a quiz game to enhance the participants' understanding of the Home. A total of six groups of sponsors and the Home's children performed on stage to demonstrate their learning outcomes through dancing, playing musical instruments, singing and balloon twisting.

The Home's old girl, Manci, acted as the MC and led two old boys, Will and Issac, to share their living experiences in the Small Group Homes and foster home, such as the house parents and staff who took good care of them, the precious learning opportunities, the spiritual support and scholarship, etc., showing their gratitude through words. Ice, an old girl working in F&B industry, also brought party food to the event that allowed the sponsors to mingle with the Home's children as well as old boys and girls while enjoying the catering.

More than 50 blessing cards written by the sponsors were collected and have been delivered to the Home's children, some of the excerpts are as follows:

• I am very happy to be with you, to see you all doing so well, and to feel the love and support from the Home ????.
• May you believe in love, no matter what challenges you face.
• Your experiences will enrich your lives and be a source of nourishment as you grow.
