Inner Challenge

Today i have a hiking with my volunteers as we need to site visit a place where we will held a program call "Inner Challenge". The aim of the program is to train up the teenagers to have the persistence and the ability to face the adversity.

I like hiking, but i scare too high mountain and climb down the mountain wheather than climb up. Before i teach teenagers how to breakthrough, i need to face my own adversity and breakthrough it first. That's why i like Adventure Based Counseling (ABC) as it is a good experiential learning, not only for the participant but also for the leader!

Our slogan is "We persist, be there with you".

Stress!

Stressful week, many caese, many groups, many programs and many administration work, flooding of stressful feeling, cheer up! cherr up! never give up! never give up!

Fight for our rights!

In 2000, the government cutted the budget of the social welfare, included the wage of the social worker. At the same year, i studied social work in the university.

In this year, as the financial situation is better than before, the governemnt spend more money on the Government Social Welfare Department, the social workers who are working at the Social Welfare Department can have a higher wages than those who are working at Non-government Organization (NGO).

Under this situation, we discover that there is unfair between the social workers who are working at Social Welfare Department and NGOs. Because of this, we organized an assembly and a parade on this Wed. We are fighting for the justice of the social welfare and services.

On that day, there are 5000 social workers took half day off for the assembly and parade. We hope that we can use our voice and action to change this worse situation. We hope that we can persist until we get what we want!

my 1st Peer Counselor Group after back to Hong Kong

There are four sessions of the group and the topic is drug abuse. The members who are recruited from the discos are willing to quit from the drug abuse. As i have a high expectation of the group, i feel very stressful and makes me get stomachache finally, feel pity but also feel happy as i think the group has a quite good opening!

my friend will go to Australia

Samil who is my high schoolmate will go to Australia next week by Working Holiday Visa too. Last night we had dinner with her with two another schoolmates. I shared lots of experiences with her, but i also want her to experience by herself! I knew her for 11 years, i will be missing her. Hope she will have an unforgettable journey in Australia!!!
