Children's stories

Bring vibrant colors to the dreary lives

Children are pure as a piece of white paper. However, with sophisticated family background, some children are living in despair and helplessness.
Story of Ka-shing

Ka-shing’s parents divorced when he was 5 years old. His father then requested a woman living next door to take care of him. His nightmare began.
The son of the woman kept on bullying Ka-shing. He forbade Ka-shing from doing homework; worse still, he hit Ka-shing. The abuses had persisted until Ka-shing was seven years old when the class teacher spotted his wounds and reported to the police. Ka-shing was then transferred to St. Christopher’s Home.
In the first few months, Ka-shing was timid, reluctant to learn and had low self-esteem. He gradually participated into his new life because of the incessant care and encouragement from the social worker and house-parents. The Home led Ka Shing to walk out of the darkness and overcome his horrid experiences. Ka-shing took a further leap to join the Boy Scouts and Civil Aid Service to learn to take on challenges and became persistent. He made a resolution to become a policeman. Subsequently, he applied for the position five times in eight months. He tried again and again after failures. He finally succeeded and is a policeman now. He is also the sponsor of the Home.
