SPCCAA 33
The SPCC Alumni Choir (SPCCAC) organised a charity visit to SAHK LOHAS Garden
（香港耀能協會盛康園）
in Ho Man Tin on 17
May 2014. More than 30 members from SPCCAC and their families attended this meaningful event under the beautiful sunshine.
LOHAS Garden is one of the newest service centres of SAHK providing day training, sheltered workshops and residential services
to the moderate to severe mentally and physically disabled clients. Although each person we met there encounters a different level
of challenge in his/her life, we could see one thing in common from their eyes – passion.
Led by our event-in-charge, Ms Peggy Chau (1993), who is also the manager of one of the SAHK workshops, the SPCCAC
kicked off the event by performing some well-known Cantonese pop songs. The clients all enjoyed the music and echoed
by clapping and waving. Some of them even came up to the stage and sang with us. The highlight of the event was when
we performed the song “
朋友
”. Joyfully and enthusiastically, a group of clients came out from their seats and we sang
and danced around in a circle together. The hall at LOHAS Garden became a playground of music, cheers and laughter!
After the performance, we offered some light snacks and drinks to the clients and proceeded to the guided tour in LOHAS Garden.
We got a chance to see some of the clients’ fascinating artworks. We also visited the roof garden where lots of nice plants and
herbs were planted and managed by the clients themselves. At the end, we visited the cafeteria on the ground floor (Café Lohas),
where they provide vocational training on catering service to the clients.
Our hands-on experience to interact with this group of physically and mentally disabled yet very cheerful SAHK clients, reminded us
to cherish our lives, our health and also to flourish our spirit of “Faith, Hope and Love”.
