“If I can see, then I can easily decipher day and night. If I can see, maybe life would be completely different.” Song writer- Ricky Hsiao

This is the heartfelt wish of those with vision impairment, those who cannot tell the difference between day and night, and those who cannot see those standing in front of them. But there is something that they don’t need to see, but can feel, and that is love. If you can, would you be their eyes? To tell them how blue the sky is and how green the trees are? Would you, in a few short hours, be their biggest support and be a conduit of love?

Psalm 127:3 New Living Translation (NLT)

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

Every child is a gift from god, so beautiful and full of unlimited possibilities. But for some of these children, they lack loving families and role models to guide them through life, especially in the areas of communication, socialization and emotions management. Because of these deficiencies, these children often are unable to see their own personal worth and hence struggle with the social circles around them.

At Good Friend Mission, they provide an environment where the kids can grow and learn at their own pace through different activities such as after school tutoring and weekend outdoor events. Through these activities, GFM hopes to provide these children with further opportunists to explore the world around them.

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. -Isaiah 42:3 NIV

When you exit Longshan Temple Station, you will be greeted with at least two types of scenery. On one hand you will see a bustling landscape of worshipers and tourists at the temple while on the other side at Mengxia Park, during the day time, you will see people playing board games, talking or just seniors lounging in the sun. At night however, the park is a gathering ground for many, who are homeless. What you don’t know is that 90% of them did not choose to be there, and are on the streets today due to various reasons. They are those who used to be teachers, construction workers, doctors, real estate agents and many other professions in their younger days.
