- Our Story | Sunshine Action
OUR STORY On January 1st 2008, three volunteers founded Sunshine Action with nothing but heart and one mission: to serve those in need. During one of the toughest economic crises in Hong Kong, our founder used his own salary to purchase 100 packets of rice, which were donated to 100 struggling workers. From that day, Sunshine Action has come a long way, committing to operate fully on volunteers and donations. Having worked with 30 organizations in only its first year, Sunshine Action has grown tremendously. Today, it is estimated that Sunshine Action has helped over 430,000 people directly, reaching 25 countries & regions worldwide, and partnering with around 950 other charitable organizations. Moreover, we've greatly expanded in volunteering programs since our launch, having had more than 10,000 students and corporate volunteers working together for this mission. We take pride in the many events and programs which Sunshine Action have hosted over the years, mainly in our Fortune Bag and Street Sleepers programs in Hong Kong, US & UK. Sunshine Action continually works to expand and globalize, with bases in both the United Kingdom and the United States, and by working with interns to further the vision established at the heart of the charity. We stay committed to serving those in need. The UN Sustainable Development Goals Sunshine Action has many different programs around the world. Our programs address 14 of the 17 UN sustainable development goals, with a main focus on no poverty and zero hunger.

- Thailand (GLOBAL) | Sunshine Action
THAILAND I was on the road for 5 hours visiting the Camillian Social Center Rayong with Fr. John Le SVD. There are some 80 HIV+ orphans and some female severely sick patients, mostly without or abandoned by their families. The children are taking cocktail treatment and the shelter will take care of them until the age of 18, when they can find a job and learn to survive hopefully. ☀️ Sunshine Action donated several items during this visit, including rice, cooking oil, diapers for adults, etc.. 🙏🏻✨ The Fr. John Le SVD took me to visit several communities of asylum seekers and refugees from the Vietnamese mountain tribes. The government took their lands in Vietnam and they fought for it and now prosecuted by the police, they have to escape to Thailand seeking asylum with the UN. The process could take many years to be recognized with the "refugee status" and the Thai government is not assisting. They are illegal workers struggling to survive doing part-time construction and maybe farming. I visited several communities, some of them have between 10-30 families living in small rooms. The rent for each small room is between 1'500-2'500 baht (approx. HK$320-500/month), plus some extra 500 baht for water & and electricity. I met a 73-year-old asylum seeker, who just got off from ICD detention center where he was locked up for 7 years. He is completely alone and handicapped. Sunshine Action donated a variety of food from eggs, meats, cooking oil, fish sauces, etc… This group of people worry about their daily food, without any stable income, and can't see the future. They simply don't know what will happen next that could affect their mental health easily. Deeply thanks to Fr. Anthony le Duc SVD in arranging the visit to the newly open M.C. House in Bangkok. In 2007, I started the first visit to the House for the dying... The Missionaries of Charity 仁愛傳教修女會 is a Catholic religious congregation established in 1950 by Mother Teresa 德蘭修女, now known in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. As of 2020, it consisted of 5,167 religious sisters. A member of the congregation must adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and the fourth vow, to give "Wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionaries_of_Charity We made the first donation in Thailand since the pandemic. Sunshine Action visited and donated food & others resources to many M.C. Houses around the World, including houses in Kenya, Chile, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Philippines, Hong Kong, Macau, etc… July 2014 Nine SUNSHINE ACTION volunteers went to Mae Sot, Thailand donating over 75 tones of rice, dry food, bricks, cements, construction materials, basic need materials, stationery and sponsoring 3 life-saving surgeries for the heart disease patients, including the following organizations: Mao Tao Clinic BCMF Burmese Children Medical Fund Eyes to Burma KKB Kwe Kha Baung Migrant School Refugee working and accommodation conditions Since their nationality is not recognized by the Thai government, and these refugees have fled Myanmar for many years and no longer know whether their hometown exists, their only way to survive is to work illegally in the local area, supplying more than 200 textile factories and food supplies there. For jobs such as processing plants, the salary is only one-third of the local minimum wage, which is about HK$16. Those without job skills can only live in the garbage mountain and make a living by collecting garbage every day. Due to the extremely meager income, many children in the family who can walk have to go out to collect garbage and have no chance to go to school. Local services carried out by Sunshine Action We provided food to 100 families living in garbage mountains. Among them, we provided nutritional milk powder and drinks to malnourished children, hoping that they can absorb nutrients more easily. At the same time, we donated headlamps, flashlights, batteries and water boots to facilitate their "treasure hunting" in the garbage dump at night. Soap and washing powder can help them maintain personal hygiene and reduce illness. MAO TAO CLINIC Founded by Dr. Cynthia Maung, herself a displaced person forced to flee her homeland in 1988, has worked tirelessly for over 20 years, providing critical healthcare to the people of Burma. The Clinic’s facilities and activities continue to grow. Currently, between 400 -500 people on average come to the clinic each day, and there is a staff of about 700 providing comprehensive health services and child protection services. Total caseload exceeds 115,000 cases annually with a client number of over 75,000 per year Other plans ***Subject to donation*** Provide solar lights for home lighting to residents of Garbage Mountain Provide partial food support, such as rice and milk powder, to residents in the garbage mountain every month Sponsor the cost of surgery for patients at Chiang Mai Hospital on a one-to-one basis, with a maximum limit of HK$30,000 and is limited to one-time treatment only PLANT the PLANET - THAILAND With the help from student-volunteers of Phu Phan Tong elementary School, we planted many Mango & Coconut trees. Each Student will adopt a tree to take care and will bring 2-3 fruit trees to be planted at their homes. Thailand is the 5th country where we reached our global program 'Plant the Planet'.

- Congenital Heart Disease | Sunshine Action
Project Info Sunshine Action raises money to give children with congenital heart defects (CHD) access to lifesaving surgery and medication. To date, 60 surgeries have been completed thanks to funding from Sunshine Action. Donors can personally visit the patients they donate to, both before and after the surgery. Recipients of surgeries are often those who could not afford surgery without help. In 2023, Sunshine Action is struggling to financially sustain all programs, including the CHD Program. Your contribution would mean a lot to us. Donate now! What is CHD? A congenital heart defect (CHD) is a defect in the structure of the heart and great vessels which is present at birth. The term CHD refers to many types of defects, most of which either obstruct blood flow in the heart or vessels near it, or cause blood to flow through the heart in an abnormal pattern. Other defects, such as long QT syndrome, affect the heart's rhythm. Heart defects are among the most common birth defects and are the leading cause of birth defect-related deaths. Approximately 9 people in 1000 are born with a congenital heart defect. Some complex congenital heart defects require medication or surgery. In China, as many as 8/1000 people are born with CHD, meaning that more than 10 million Chinese people are affected by these conditions. Patient Stories Mu Lar Kway was a 14-year-old girl when she came to Sunshine Action with a congenital cardiac disease known as Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). TOF accounts for about 10% of congenital heart diseases and is characterized by a ventricular septal defect, or a hole in the muscle wall that separates the two lower chambers of the heart. This hole allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, and results in a decreased efficiency of the heart. The blood picks up less oxygen from the lungs, and oxygen-poor blood circulates through the body. Prior to her surgery, Mu Lar Kway lived in Burma with her brother, parents, and niece. She attended grade 5 at her local school. She enjoyed going to school but often had to miss class because of extreme fatigue. Due to her condition, the simplest tasks, including the 20 minute walk to school, exhausted her. Because her blood supply was deficient in oxygen, her skin, lips and fingernails had a blue tint. Her condition also stunted her growth, giving her the appearance of looking much younger. Her parents were paddy farmers earning around USD $200 a month. After education and food costs her family was unable to put away money for savings and could not afford the treatment that she needed for her condition. Fortunately, she received surgery thanks to funding from Sunshine Action. Kyaw Linn Naing was 15 years old when he was referred to Sunshine Action with a congenital heart disease known as Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). RHD is the most common acquired heart disease in children in many countries of the world, especially in developing countries such as Burma. Kyaw Linn Naing was first diagnosed at 11-years-old and experienced heart palpitations, difficulty breathing and cyanosis. He also could not walk for longer than 10 minutes at a time. Kyaw Linn Naing lives with his parents, siblings, and grandmother in Burma. His parents were vegetable growers and stated that Kway Linn Naing's medical treatment is very expensive in Burma and costs more than they could ever afford. Under the care of Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), an organization which helps Burmese refugees in Thailand, Kyaw Linn Naing received lifesaving surgery. He has since made a full recovery. His family is very grateful to BCMF and his doctors who helped him. When he is older, he would like to be a doctor to give others the gift of good health. Walkathon In past years Sunshine Action has organized the China Walkathon to DuLongJiang, a major walkathon which raises money for children with congenital heart disease in China. The Walkathon location is along the Dulong River, located in the northwest section of Yunnan Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture. The Dulong River Valley is inhabited by the Dulong people, one of the smallest ethnic groups in China. Many children living in the Dulong River Valley and other sparsely populated areas cannot afford treatment for congenital heart disease, which is why the Walkathon is so important to raise money and awareness for those in need. Along with other international efforts, Sunshine Action has paused the Walkathons due to travel restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
- Djibouti (GLOBAL) | Sunshine Action
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. The mission of the trip: Donate food to the poorest of the poor through local organizations Plant the Planet Assessment of the local NGOs and needy people in the slum Min.

- Cambodia (GLOBAL) | Sunshine Action
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.
