Since our commencement of services, we have been working closely with our partners in the community and organising diversified programmes to actualise members\u2019 psychological and social well-being.<\/p>\n

Blog Updates and Coverage<\/b><\/h5>\n

This month we are honoured to have a guest contribution on our blog<\/a> \u2014 a piece entitled \u201cProfiles of Asylum: From the Ancient City of Mosul to Hong Kong\u201d which recorded an asylum seeker\u2019s experience taking refuge in Hong Kong, adjusting to tremendous uncertainties in a state of limbo.<\/p>\n

We are also thrilled to be featured on Table of Two Cities\u2019 blog<\/a> \u2014 drawing from an everyday life example, Vania Chow in her piece \u201cThe Taste of Ice-Cream: Vignettes from Refugee Union\u201d depicted the plight of asylum seekers and refugees in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

Virtual Engagements<\/b><\/h5>\n

In times of COVID-19 pandemic, we are all forced to put face-to-face interactions on hold. With technological advancement, however, social distancing is never a barrier to our solidarity.<\/p>\n

This month we would like to send our acknowledgement to the Hong Kong Outstanding Tertiary Students\u2019 Services Association (HKOTSSA) for bringing us the Film Screening Night in a virtual format. We had a nice evening with you all.<\/p>\n

There will be more virtual engagements happening soon, please stay tuned for the updates.<\/p>\n

Donations Keep Going<\/b><\/h5>\n

In a difficult time, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our donors for lending us a helping hand. This month we received donations of different items, which include daily necessities and protective equipment for our members. Thank you very much for our donors\u2019 generous support!<\/p>\n

Please stay tuned to our official website and social media pages (Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, and Twitter<\/a>) for the updates, and feel free to contact us by visiting our office or sending us an email at info@refugeeunion.org should you have any enquiry.<\/p>\n
