SUNSHINE ACTION

ETHIOPIA Addis Ababa - ETHIOPIA Volunteer Tour Ethiopia is one of the World’s poorest countries. Out of a population of around 80 million (2008) people, 35 million people are living in abject poverty. In one of the world’s poorest countries, where about 44 percent of the population lives under the poverty line, more than 12 million people are chronically or at least periodically food insecure. Most of them live in rural areas with agriculture as their main occupation. With 80% of Ethiopians dependent on agriculture as their main livelihood, severe arid conditions due to persistent lack of rainfall coupled with civil disputes have worsened Ethiopian poverty. Mission of the trip: Donate food to the poorest of the poor through local organizations Plant the Planet Ethiopia Assessment of the local NGOs and needy people in the slum Kechene Min.

INDONESIA SUNSHINE ACTION CHARITY TRIP to SURABAYA, INDONESIA 2026 https://www.sunshine-action.org/indonesia-global Surabaya, Indonesia's second-largest city and a major economic hub, exhibits a striking duality of rapid development and entrenched urban poverty. While its official poverty rate remains below the national average, this figure obscures a significant population living in vulnerable, near-poverty conditions. The economy is characterized by a heavy reliance on the informal sector, where many residents work in low-wage, insecure jobs without social protections. Urban inequality is visibly manifested in the contrast between modern commercial districts and dense, underserved kampung settlements, where access to adequate housing, sanitation, and basic services remains a critical challenge. Underlying issues such as underemployment, rural-urban migration, and vulnerability to economic shocks perpetuate this cycle of deprivation. Tentative Date: 24 June – 2 July 2026 🩺In collaboration with “DOE Doctor of Excellence ” – a group of medical students from Hong Kong University and CUHK Chinese University of Hong Kong, which have conducted previous successful medical and charity trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia with Sunshine Action.

DIGITAL INEQUALITY Project Info During the summer of 2021, our interns have undertaken a research project on digital inequality in the UK. The research looks at the correlation between digital exclusion and poverty, including the impact this has on homeless people. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated the digital divide. During the lockdowns, we relied more and more on the digital world as a means of living and working. Many public services and charities had to close their physical premises and move some of their services online. Those lacking digital literacy have thus been further isolated from essential services. Although it has been reported that the majority of homeless people own a mobile phone, the closing of facilities such as libraries, museums and cafes during the pandemic made it extremely difficult to charge these devices. A lack of internet access poses a challenge in accessing vital information and services, including where to pick up food and finding temporary accommodation. Our interns carried out extensive research into the current situation in the UK and the effects that digital exclusion is having on the homeless population. They noted decreased opportunities to socialise, a lack of access to essential software, a negative toll on mental health and fewer employment opportunities. We have presented our findings in a White Paper on Digital Inequality. Please feel free to read our research and suggestions below: EMBED PDF HERE IF POSSIBLE

SunshineVerse is a new initiative of SunshineAction to benefit the disadvantaged community in Hong Kong. With an increasing number of disadvantaged individuals confined to their homes by a lack of mobility, SunshineVerse seeks to leverage virtual reality technology to address their physical, social, and emotional needs. we aim to achieve two major initiatives: VR travel and VR palliative care . VR Travel : Providing virtual travel experiences. Allowing them to explore and immerse themselves in different countries and landmarks. Presenting descriptions and information about each landmark in text and speech in 3 languages - English, Cantonese, and Spanish. Enabling participation in activities that would be limited due to mobility constraints. Promoting physical activity, sensory stimulation, and a sense of adventure. VR Palliative Care : Introducing VR scenes that cater to the specific religious beliefs and preferences of patients nearing the end of their lives. Creating immersive experiences that simulate a comforting and pleasurable environment for patients during their final stages. For example, a Christian scene may involve serene music and the sight of angels welcoming the patient to heaven, while a Buddhist scene may feature a peaceful temple with soft lighting and the presence of the Buddha.

CAMBODIA Intro For fifteen years, Sunshine Action has spearheaded numerous food donation initiatives and health-related programs across Cambodia, particularly in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Many of these initiatives have been bolstered by the dedicated efforts of medical student volunteers from The University of Hong Kong HKU and The Chinese University of Hong Kong CUHK. Among these collaborative efforts is the Children’s Health, Education & Environment Rescue Association (CHEER), a registered non-governmental and non-profit organization established in 2012 by a group of HKU students, faculty, and alumni. Recognizing their social responsibility to uplift underprivileged children, CHEER is committed to enhancing the physical and mental well-being of marginalized youth, fostering partnerships with local NGOs, and raising public awareness about the plight of disadvantaged communities. Their multifaceted approach encompasses health screenings, educational support, water purification systems, environmental improvements, and the provision of essential supplies. Additionally, the 2024-2025 charity missions saw the involvement of DOE Doctor of Excellence, a dynamic collective of HKU and CUHK medical students, further amplifying the impact of these humanitarian endeavors. This is part of the Medical Programs and Health related missions: https://www.sunshine-action.org/medical-health-projects In Siem Reap, we partnered with 26 members of Doctors of Excellence, a mixture of HKU and CUHK medical students, to provide pro bono medical attention. There, we spent time with each unique group of children, working with their leadership to conduct vision, BMI, and overall wellness checks. Together, we played games, provided medical care, food, and school supplies. It was bittersweet to simultaneously experience Cambodia’s vibrant culture as well as the suffering economy that has displaced numerous families from their homes. Project Summary The project consists of three main parts, namely health checkups for the early detection of health issues, health education workshops for the promotion of health awareness and youth empowerment, as well as material donations of staple food items and education materials. In total, we served up to 13 different NGOs, schools and other institutions, with 1000+ children, teens and young adults benefitting. Early Detection of Health Issues The health check-up program provided essential medical assistance to underserved Cambodian communities with limited access to healthcare facilities. Health screenings —which included body mass index (BMI) evaluation, visual and auditory acuity tests, and other critical indicators—enabled the early identification of potential health risks. Timely intervention and proper management of these conditions helped mitigate their adverse effects on participants’ health. As such, the health check-up initiative served as a foundational step toward safeguarding the well-being of Cambodia’s local residents. Promotion of Health Awareness & Empowerment of the Younger Generation In addition to conducting health screenings, volunteers engaged with multiple local orphanages through interactive workshops on health education. The health education workshops include five topics specially designed to cater to the varied age groups of our service targets, namely nutrition, dental hygiene, sex education, digital safety, and first aid. They were conducted in the form of interactive workshops, with presentations of the topics by volunteers and educational games to reinforce their learning. The health education sessions aim to fill in the critical gaps in health knowledge. By fostering a deeper understanding of prevalent health conditions, the initiative educated participants on preventive measures against both infectious and non-communicable diseases while emphasizing the importance of sustained physical well-being. Through structured interventions, individuals gained heightened health awareness and essential knowledge on hygiene practices. This program represented a proactive effort to address healthcare disparities among marginalized populations, ultimately contributing to their long-term wellness. Provision of Professional Advice and Guidance A dedicated DOE medical mentor was present to provide expert consultations based on participants' health evaluations. Tailored recommendations included guidance on daily wellness routines, balanced nutrition, suitable physical activity, and sustainable lifestyle strategies—empowering local residents to make informed decisions for their long-term health. Donations Tailored to the specific requests and unique needs of each entity, the donation to the impoverished community and school in Siem Reap encompassed essential provisions—ranging from staple food items such as rice, infant milk formula and assorted groceries to medicines, infant diapers and hygiene products, as well as educational materials including books, stationery, and other vital resources. Additionally, a more substantial allocation of rice, along with "Sunshine Bags," has been designated for distribution to individual cases and children in particularly vulnerable circumstances. As part of a broader initiative integrating food and material donations with health-focused outreach, the charity journey supported the following organizations and schools: A.H.C.O. Angkor Help the Children Org., Cambodia ABC & Rice, Cambodia C.D.H.O. Cambodia Development of Home Organization, Cambodia C.D.O. Cambodia Development of Hope Org., Cambodia C.I.O. Cambodia Improvement Org., Cambodia Cheasim Norma Angkor Primary School, Cambodia Grace House Cambodia, Siem Reap KGM Community House / Bakong High School, Cambodia Kong Much Primary School, Cambodia Love to Progress People (LTPP), Cambodia Missionaries of Charity, Siem Reap New Hope Cambodia, Siem Reap After our service trip to Cambodia and Thailand, Sunshine Action is proud to have reignited its charitable partnerships overseas. COVID-19 restricted travel and exacerbated health and poverty conditions, preventing our missions abroad while increasing the need for our service. Currently, due to decreased tourism, both Cambodia and Thailand suffer an economic shock to their food and hospitality sectors, leaving many families desperate and with no one to turn to. Conscious of this need, it was our mission to provide supplies and medical examinations for vulnerable communities. Mission of the Trip 旅程目的: Food distribution for the poorest of the poor. 購買、包裝食物包，並運送至貧民 Visiting and volunteering in several local organizations Provide SSS Sunshine Student Sponsorship to street & and poor children ***program subjected to change in actual environment, final fundraised amount & weather Though a touristic nightlife prevails, the day is marked by parents unable to take care of their children and increased rates of malnutrition stunting Cambodia’s future. While visiting the CIO (Children’s Improvement Organization), we learned that we were the first organization to come and donate in five years, a harsh reality reflecting COVID-19’s enduring impact on underfunded charities. We hope to return again soon to Cambodia, and we hope you join us next time, whether that be by volunteering your talents or donating your funds. As always, thank you for your support!

Sunshine Fortune Bags This was the first official program of Sunshine Action in 2008 and remains our biggest project after more than a decade. We started with the simple concept that "Everyone Needs to Eat", called our donations Fortune Bags, and used the Festive Seasons as a motivation to donate. From 2024, the Sunshine Action weekly events are in reels at the Sunshine Action Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunshineactionhk The History of the Sunshine Fortune Bags The Fortune Bag Program packs and distributes bags full of rice, pasta, dry foods, sauces, toiletries, and other necessities to low-income individuals supported by our partner beneficiaries. The Sunshine Fortune Bag Program is the biggest program in the organization, which focuses on poverty relief. The Sunshine Fortune Bags have been distributed in many countries & regions around the world, including UK, USA, Canada, Vietnam, Kenya, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Mongolia, India, Macau, Nepal, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam & the Philippines in the last 17years. In 2023, Sunshine Action is struggling to financially sustain all programs, including the Fortune Bag Program. Your contribution would mean a lot to us. Donate now! The first charity organization Sunshine Action donated Fortune Bags to was the HK Women Workers Association and its sister organization, Cleaning Workers’ Association. At that time in early 2008, there was no minimum wage in Hong Kong. Most cleaning workers made an average of only HKD$3,500-4,500 per month (USD$450-580). Many struggled to pay rent and sustain their families but could not apply for social welfare support. When Sunny started the Sunshine Fortune Bags program in 2008, there were only a couple of volunteers each season to pack all bags. They borrowed the office from HK Women Workers Association to store the food. Volunteers came on Saturdays and Sundays for 3 consecutive weekends to pack the bags. Sunshine Action did not have its own office until 4 years later. This was the humble beginning of Sunshine Action, the world's smallest charity organization. The Fortune Bag Program has since expanded outside of Hong Kong. Sunshine Action began providing Fortune Bags in Macau in 2011. Fortune Bags have also been distributed in Vietnam, Kenya, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Mongolia, India, Nepal, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam & the Philippines. Occasionally, we also donate to local charity kitchens in bulk. In addition to distributing Fortune Bags, Sunshine Action has donated food to the poor through the following organizations: Blue Sky Food Assistance Serv. Project Crossroad Foundation Feeding Hong Kong Food Angel Food Grace Foodlink Foundation Food for Good Food Friend Action Greener Action J Life Foundation K.T. Methodist Cleaners Community Food Bank Christian Action Kitchen for the Refugees Missionaries of Charity Nam Cheong shelter St. James Settlement People's Food Bank YWAM Food Bank Tuen Mun Fortune Bag Records The biggest Sunshine Fortune Bags program conducted in a single morning was during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2020, donating over 7,500 Sunshine Fortune Bags for the poor and elderly in Hong Kong, through 70 local centres. The heaviest Sunshine Fortune Bags were packed during September 2020 for Mid-Autumn Festival and World Food Day, with each bag containing 9-10 items and averaging 9 kg (or roughly 20 lbs) each The most expensive Sunshine Fortune Bags were made in May 2019 for Mother's & Father's Day. Each bag included 9 items and was approximately worth HKD$300 (USD$40). A total of 3,000 bags were distributed (total market value of HKD$900,000 or USD$120,000) during this period, making it the single most expensive program ever done in the history of Sunshine Action! Student and School Involvement Sunshine Action works with schools to fundraise, package and distribute Fortune Bags. We have conducted the Fortune Bag Program in the following schools or the events are organized by the students from: University of Chicago, Illinois, USA 芝加哥大學 University of Oxford, UK 牛津大學 NUS National University of Singapore 新加坡國立大學 University of Cambridge, UK 劍橋大學 UCLA University of California, Los Angeles 加州大學 洛杉磯 University of Pennsylvania, US 賓夕法尼亞大學 UCL University College London, UK 倫敦大學學院 Columbia University in the City of New York, USA 哥倫比亞大學 NYU New York University, USA 紐約大學 University of Toronto, Canada 多倫多大學, Canada - Phi Gamma Delta University of Georgia, USA 喬治亞大學 The Backpack Project Athens University of St. Andrews, Scotland 聖安德魯斯大學 CUHK Chinese University of Hong Kong 香港中文大學 University of Washington, USA 華盛頓大學 Loughborough University 拉夫堡大學 Miami University at Oxford 邁阿密大學, Ohio, USA HKUST Hong Kong University of Science & Technology 香港科技大學 USC University of Southern California, US 南加州大學 – WBB program Università Bocconi, Italy 博科尼大學 – WBB Program Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York, USA DBS Diocesan Boys’ School 拔萃男書院 CIS Chinese International School 漢基國際學校 Kowloon Wah Yan School 九龍華仁書院 Yew Chung International School 耀中國際學校 Singapore International School 新加坡國際學校 Hong Kong International School 香港國際學校 Canadian International School 加拿大國際學校 ESF King George V School 英基英皇佐治五世學校 ESF Bradbury School 英基白普理小學 ESF Beacon Hill School 英基畢架山小學 ESF Kennedy School 英基堅尼地小學 ESF Discovery College 英基智新書院 ESF Renaissance College 英基啓新書院 ESF West Island School 英基西島中學 Stamford American School Hong Kong 史丹福美國國際學校香港 How Do Schools Help? Schools can help support the Fortune Bag Program in several ways: Hosting an event – Fortune Bag events require a venue and space for short-term food storage. Most food purchased by Sunshine Action would arrive 2-4 days before the packing event and normally in pallets. The items do not need to be stored inside rooms, but preferably under a roof to avoid potential rain. Schools must provide space for assembly lines to pack Fortune Bags. The open space should be fit for at least 6 assembly lines, with 3 long tables for each line. Fundraising and collecting donation items – items must be collected for distribution prior to the packing event. The target for donations should be the target number of Fortune Bags x 3-4 items per bag. These items must be at least 6 months from expiry date and not be stored in glass containers. During the pandemic, protective masks and other anti-pandemic items are also welcome. Schools can also create fundraising events to support the purchase of items for donation. On average, the school and students involved collect 50% of the donated content and Sunshine Action covers the remaining 50%.

INDIA In November, 2009, 4 Sunshine Action volunteers went various places in India for the Charity Mission. They donated over 3,000 kg of rice, over 1000 kg of DAL, 800 kg of Potatoes, as well as others food products and medicines. During this trip, Sunshine Action benefitted over 1,725 cases/families, equivalent to over 2,174 individuals. During this trip, volunteers visited and donated food and other mateirals to M.C. Nirmal Hriday and M.C. Premdam in Kolkata. Sunshine Action also visited the Leprosy Centre in Seemapuri and sponsored a medical instrument specialized for Leprosy operation. Volunteers also visited Vrindavan, where the Guild of Service has a house to care for displaced widows. Vrindavan is known as the City of Widows due to the large number of widows who move into the town and surrounding area after losing their husbands. According to some Hindu traditions, upper-caste widows may not remarry, so many of those abandoned by their families make their way here. There are an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 widows living on the streets, many of whom have spent over 30 years there. They also set up the first Sunshine Action Medical Camp in the poorest village of India in cooperation with Rotary Club of Calcutta Uptown & Country Women's Assoc. of India in Kaoradanga Village. Sunshine Action provided medicines, vitamins and medical camp to cover 156 patients, including children and adults. In November, 2012, 7 Sunshine Action volunteers went to India to donate food, medicine, wheelchairs and other materials. Sunshine Action also contributed to several building projects for those in need. During this trip, Sunshine Action collaborated with 10 centres/organisations, and benefitted over 2,360 people. In February, 2014, the Sunshine Action volunteers traveled to Calcutta, India, and donated food, clothes and basic materials as well as provided student sponsorship money and building construction materials to several local organizations. Volunteers visited four children’s homes and provided aid to handicapped children. A visit to one of these centers, where children once condemned to death are given a second chance, is a profoundly moving experience. In 2016/2017, Sunshine Action once again volunteered with Missionaries of Charity.

DJIBOUTI Africa Volunteer Tour DJIBOUTI For the past decade, Djibouti has been recovering from an internal conflict that was settled in 2001. This civil strife caused a considerable increase in the incidence of rural poverty, which resulted in loss of life, lost livestock, problems with social and economic infrastructure, and migration of farmers and pastoralists. During this recovery period, the rural population has often depended almost entirely on emergency food aid.

STREET - SLEEPERS PROGRAM Project Info The Street-Sleepers Program distributes dinner boxes, drinks, dry foods, blankets, haircuts, legal aid, and other essential services to street-sleepers. The program also educates youth on the issue of homelessness and raises money to provide services to those in need. The program has continued providing services during the Covid-19 pandemic, while many other charitable organizations temporarily decreased or stopped providing services. The Street-Sleepers Program is the oldest flagship program within Sunshine Action and has been running for over 15 years, starting before the organization was officially founded In 2023, Sunshine Action is struggling to financially sustain all programs, including the Street-Sleepers Program. Your contribution would mean a lot to us. Donate now! The History of the Street-Sleepers Program Since 2007, Sunny, the founder of Sunshine Action, was a regular volunteer for a few charity organizations. One evening, he was called to help distribute food to the street-sleepers in the Yau Ma Tei area. The centre supplied volunteers with bread, butter and drinks for distribution. After returning home, Sunny and his best friend decided to continue to distribute food to street-sleepers by themselves. They bought ingredients for sandwiches and distributed them along the same roads for months afterwards. Sunny carried all the sandwiches and his friend carried all the drinks. At that time, they both had full-time jobs, and would pack sandwiches right after office hours. Although carrying and distributing goods was difficult for only two people to manage, the two friends continued volunteering for months afterwards. They volunteered on the evenings of major festive holidays, including Parent's Days, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve because these are the evenings when those in need received the least help. They decided to always be there, even when no one else would be. The program has since expanded to include volunteers from all walks of life, from primary school students to CEOs. It has also grown to provide other services besides food, such as distributing anti-pandemic items, providing haircuts and other services, and providing pro-bono legal aid to street-sleepers. The program also works to educate youth on the issue of street-sleeping and raises money to help those in need. Projects within the Street-Sleepers Program Legal Aid: Since January 2021, a group of third-year Law students from the University of Hong Kong have been cooperating with Sunshine Action to link up with lawyers offering pro bono legal aid to street-sleepers in Hong Kong. The program includes temporary storage to help them store personal items while searching for new jobs or other activities. The volunteers will cover all street-sleepers shelters and several other areas of Hong Kong. The project is ongoing and targeted to last approximately 6-12 months. Street Sleepers Simulation in Schools: Sunshine Action have extended this project into schools in Hong Kong, helping educate them on the issue of homelessness and street sleeping as well as raising money for the charity. Youth are educated on topics which include: The difference between street-sleepers & homeless and how to classify them. The history and evolution of the demographic of street-sleepers in Hong Kong within the last decade. The types of street-sleepers in Hong Kong; the difference between locals and those from overseas. Whether charity program ideas from overseas work in Hong Kong. The mental health issues amongst street-sleepers. Possible biases in how young people view street-sleepers. The true impact of the Street-Sleeper Program and the importance of educating themselves on poverty. The adaptations to the program when doing it under different seasons and environment. Understanding which ideas would work when planning to help street-sleepers. Bradbury School and Discovery College ESF have both advocated for the program inside of their schools to raise fund for street-sleepers. How We Can Help Understand who the homeless are – Help dispel the stereotypes about the homeless. Learn about the different reasons for homelessness, and remember, every situation is unique. One of the first steps in helping people is to see them as individuals and to find out what they need. Notice them; talk to them. Most are starved for attention. Educate yourself about the homeless – Learn about the long-term solutions for ending homelessness, or sometimes fast, immediate assistance. Respond with kindness – We can make quite a difference in the lives of the homeless when we respond to them, rather than ignore or dismiss them. Try a kind word and a smile. Develop lists of shelters – Carry a card that lists local shelters so you can hand them out to the homeless. You can find shelters in Hong Kong: Sham Shui Po - Wanchai - Yau Ma Tei - Nam Cheong. Bring food – It’s as simple as taking a few extra sandwiches when you go out. When you pass someone who asks for change, offer him or her something to eat. If you take a lunch, pack a little extra. When you eat at a restaurant, order something to take with you when you leave. Volunteers within the Street-Sleepers Program Sunshine Action is grateful for all our volunteers, who include students, adults, lawyers, soldiers, CEOs, and many more. The first multi-national corporation to volunteer with the program was Bloomberg L.P. For a few years, they helped with distributing after their busy workdays and Sunshine Action remains thankful to have had their support from the beginning. CEOs that have joined the Street-sleepers Program include Mr. Neil Harvey from Credit Suisse and Ms. Ligia Torres from BNP Paribas. Clifford Hart Jr. was the first Consul General of the United States to join the program, along with a team of volunteers from the U.S. Consulate. Many members of the U.S. Navy & Marines from different ships have also joined this program. Sunshine Action's Response to the Pandemic During the major crisis in Hong Kong due to the Covid-19 outbreak, many Sunshine Ambassadors and students joined this program. They helped on a weekly basis by distributing essential food and anti-pandemic items. Since the first year of the pandemic, a dedicated team of volunteers have been taking care of street-sleepers every Tuesday and Wednesday. They drove around to several spots in Hong Kong and Kowloon side and continued to provide services during the typhoon. Further Donations Sunshine Action has donated additional food in bulk alongside Sunshine Fortune Bags to several charity centres also helping the homeless in Hong Kong, including: ImpactHK MercyHK - by Fr John Wotherspoon O.M.I .
