SUNSHINE ACTION

BUILDING PROJECT Sunshine Folding Container Houses Our Sunshine Folding Container Houses consist of brand-new mobile containers. They are a green and economical solution to the housing crisis. Each container is made from new steel sheets and includes water-proof and fire-proof insulation. They have a minimum lifespan of 13-15 years or more, depending on local weather conditions and maintenance. These homes are designed to provide a quick housing solution in natural disaster zones, or to provide extra accommodation to orphanages or care homes. The price of each home is lower than the cost of purchasing and renovating a second-hand container. They also avoid the possible risk to health that may come with a second-hand container that has been used to store dangerous chemicals. These houses are modular, meaning a row of one or even two storeys would fit together well. Stairs can be installed at one end of the row to provide access to the second storey.

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.

SUNSHINEVERSE What is SunshineVerse? SunshineVerse is an innovative project aimed to benefit the wellbeing of the unfortunate and disadvantaged in Hong Kong. More specifically, the SunshineVerse is a virtual reality (VR) solution aimed to help overcome the issues faced by the disadvantaged. During the COVID-19 lockdown, problems such as loneliness and social isolation were highlighted, causing a rise in both physical and mental health problems (due to lack of social interaction and diagnosis). The SunshineVerse was designed and created in order to address these issues. Although the COVID pandemic is no longer considered a major threat, these problems still exist due to a variety of societal issues, including lack of financial support, and physical and health limitations. With the increasing percentage of disadvantaged (including elderly, poor people, those with disabilities etc.) individuals confined to their homes by a lack of mobility, SunshineVerse seeks to leverage technology to address their physical, social, and emotional needs. Although we imagine SunshineVerse to be a highly scalable model that can serve diverse needs with time, we aim to kickstart the program with two main initiatives: VR travel and VR Meditati on. VR Travel: Provide elderly individuals with virtual travel experiences, allowing them to explore and immerse themselves in different countries and landmarks. Provide descriptions and information about each landmark in text and speech form in 3 languages - English, Cantonese, and Spanish. Enable participation in activities that would be limited due to mobility constraints. Promote physical activity, sensory stimulation, and a sense of adventure. VR Meditation: Introduce virtual reality scenes that cater to the specific religious beliefs and preferences of patients nearing the end of their lives. Create 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. Justification for SunshineVerse Our research has identified three main problems amongst the elderly and the disadvantaged in Hong Kong - loneliness, cognitive decline, and lack of physical activity. In Hong Kong, the prevalence of physical inactivity was 13.5% among people aged 65-74 years, 22.4% among those aged 75-84 years, and 42.8% among those aged 85 years or above in 2019 (Centre for Health Protection Hong Kong Government, 2020). This not only has an impact on their physical health, but also their mental health. Research has shown that lower levels of physical activity can result in worse mental health outcomes. There is increased risk of depression and anxiety, and a decrease in overall wellbeing (Marconcin et al., 2022). Social life is not always emphasized while loneliness is a common issue among the elderly living in elderly homes. There are 34% of elderly persons living in elderly homes reported feeling lonely or isolated (Hong Kong Jockey Club Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, 2019). This can have a negative impact on their mental and physical health. In terms of physical health, social isolation can result in an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. From the mental health perspective, loneliness is a risk for depression, cognitive decline, dementia, anxiety, and suicide (WHO, 2021). Dementia is a large problem in Hong Kong. According to the Mental Health Review Report in Hong Kong (2017), about 100,000 elderly persons were diagnosed with dementia. This accounts for about 10% of the elderly population. Not only will those with dementia slowly become more and more forgetful, but their personality may also change as well, becoming more erratic and apathetic. As their dementia progresses, they will no longer be able to live alone safely, and will need to rely on carers. Elderlies also have a natural decline in cognitive abilities, even when they are healthy. How will SunshineVerse help? The SunshineVerse addresses these problems by: Creating an immersive experience for users to increase their sense of adventure. Provide new cultural experiences and entertainment which keep users engaged and active. Strengthen social bonds between users and others through the sharing of new experiences. Reduce the sense of isolation and loneliness by experiencing virtual travel together with others. Encourage cognitive stimulation for elderly through learning new technological skills and information. Helps elderly recall older memories as well as create new memories, which in turn improves social interaction with others. Provides calming and pleasantly stimulating experiences to alleviate stress and anxiety and induce positive emotions. Allowing those without financial stability to experience travelling, reducing perceived deprivation and increasing positive mood. SunshineVerse aims to improve the quality of life of our beneficiaries by increasing motivation for physical activity, reduce anxiety and strengthen bonds between beneficiaries and those around them. It is likely that in a couple of years, there will be much more VR technology available for commercial use amongst the general population. With the SunshineVerse, we aim to be the first to help integrate VR technology into everyday life in order to serve the elderly and those in need. In the future, we hope to include more and more services, including VR communication, medical consultation and diagnosis, VR therapy etc., but these will have to come later in line with the advancement of VR technology. To our knowledge, there are currently no companies or organisations using VR and technology to improve the lives of the disadvantaged in Hong Kong. Most of the VR entertainment services in Hong Kong are directed towards the youth, and are costly. However, testing VR experiences (including VR travel and VR games) with our beneficiaries (3 elderlies aged 80-90 years) showed that they are highly interested in trying various VR experiences. The VR experience left the elderlies feeling happy and excited, and they all said they would use these services again. Primitive testing shows that the SunshineVerse is capable of bringing significant positive impacts into the lives of the disadvantaged. What next? SunshineVerse is our next big project. We will be focusing on the launch and development of this project over the next few years, with the aim of kickstarting the project development in 2024. Sunshine Action is currently discussing the development of SunshineVerse with various VR developers in Hong Kong. We are also actively applying and looking for funding for this innovative project. If you are interested in donating or want to help us with the development of this project, please contact Sunny at sunshine@sunshine-action.org .

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'.

MYANMAR Intro Four Sunshine Action volunteers went to Yangon & Mae Sot, distributing over 30 tones of food & material through the following several organizations including the Burmese Migrant Worker's Education Committee, Eyes to Burma for the dump site, Boddha Ditta Nun Vihara, Mangalar Parahita Youth Development Center, Tikha Rama nun Vihara,Happy Heaven Humanitarian Project for HIV/AIDS orphans, Mayan Chaung Leprosy village and the Social Action for Women. In this trip, we also sponsored tuition fee for teachers, solar light, shoes, and many more, estimated to benefit over 2'316 people directly Our focus is to ensure that as many children and young people as possible have access to a quality education which enriches their lives now, and opens opportunities for them either back in Myanmar, in Thailand or further afield. At the moment we oversee education for approximately 3'500 children in 25 learning centres. Living on Landfill Eyes to Burma is truly fortunate that Australian filmmaker, Helen Newman of Nomad Films, visited the Mae Sot garbage dump and was so moved by what she saw that she made a short documentary. She recently sent a link to the film, and said: "Finally I am able to share the film created from my time on a Thai rubbish dump with Burmese refugees and the wonderful Fred Stockwell from Eyes to Burma. I met so many inspiring, powerful and positive people during this shoot and was reminded again both of the incredible strength of the human spirit and how much difference one person can make." We met Fred Stockwell, a wonderful man of 70 years old alone taking care of hundreds of people in the dump site of Mae Sot, Thailand. A garbage dump outside of Mae Sot, Thailand, is home to a group of Burmese people who have been displaced by armed conflicts in Burma. They are unable to return to their country where many of their villages have been destroyed and are unable to gain legal refugee status in Thailand; thus, their options are very limited. Those living in the Mae Sot Dump, even the children, earn a meager living by picking recyclable plastic from piles of garbage.

INDONESIA SUNSHINE ACTION CHARITY TRIP to SURABAYA, INDONESIA 2026 https://www.sunshine-action.org/indonesia-global The recent collaborative mission in Surabaya, undertaken by Sunshine Action in concert with the DOE (Doctor of Excellence) — a distinguished collective of medical students from the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong — transpired against a backdrop of profound economic precarity. While Surabaya stands as Indonesia’s second-largest metropolis and a vital commercial hub, its aggregate economic indicators obfuscate a more disquieting reality for its most vulnerable inhabitants. The lingering aftershocks of global inflationary pressures, compounded by fluctuating commodity prices and the residual strains on domestic supply chains, have inflicted a regressive toll on the city’s lower-income demographics. For these communities, the escalating cost of staples such as rice, cooking oil, and protein has systematically eroded purchasing power, transforming food security from an abstract policy goal into an acute, daily existential calculus. This economic constriction is not merely statistical; it manifests in palpable hardship, as families are compelled to make untenable choices between nutritional adequacy, access to healthcare, and the basic maintenance of their households. The charity trip with donation covered the following 13 charity units: Orphanage Children of Yaqub Surabaya, Indonesia Yayasan nurani mandiri (Independent Heart Foundation) Yayasan Buddha Tzu Chi Indonesia 佛教慈濟基金會 Panti Asuhan Cahaya Insani (Light of Humanity Orphanage) ISCO Foundation (Yayasan ISCO) Asemrowo centre ISCO Foundation (Yayasan ISCO) Gading ISCO Foundation (Yayasan ISCO) Genteng ISCO Foundation (Yayasan ISCO) Morokrembangan ISCO Foundation (Yayasan ISCO) Pabean ISCO Foundation (Yayasan ISCO) Perak Timur ISCO Foundation (Yayasan ISCO) Sidodadi ISCO Foundation (Yayasan ISCO) Ujung Klinik Cita Sehat Surabaya This fiscal fragility is further exacerbated by a pronounced digital and educational divide, which perpetuates a cycle of intergenerational disadvantage. For the numerous orphanages, rehabilitation centers, and community-based organizations that Sunshine Action and the DOE team sought to support, the challenges are twofold: they must navigate the operational exigencies of rising overheads for electricity and water, while simultaneously striving to equip their charges with the tools necessary for socioeconomic mobility. The donation of electronic devices, stationery, and books was thus not merely an act of charity, but a targeted intervention aimed at bridging the infrastructural chasm that separates these communities from the opportunities of the digital economy. Concurrently, the provision of essential foodstuff and daily sundries served as an immediate, tangible reprieve from the relentless pressures of the present cost-of-living crisis, allowing these institutions to reallocate their scant resources toward long-term developmental goals. In this sense, the mission functioned as a dual imperative: it addressed the urgent physiological needs of the present while investing in the intellectual capital required for a more resilient future. 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. 🩺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. The team with conduct several medical & health program to several local charity organizations target to serve the poor. Intro Summary of Key Programs Our three-pronged programmatic approach ensures a holistic and sustainable impact on the target communities. Program 1: Comprehensive Health Screenings A free, multi-station medical screening program will be established to identify health risks across all age groups. Process: Participants will be guided through a series of stations for vitals (BMI, blood pressure), vision, hearing, and dental screenings. Ethical Protocol: Adherence to strict confidentiality is paramount. Informed consent is mandatory for all adults, and parental consent is required for all minors. Professional Consultation: The program culminates in a one-on-one consultation with a DOE Doctor Mentor, who will review all findings, perform focused physical exams, and issue referral letters to local clinics for any necessary follow-up treatment. Program 2: Targeted Health Education Workshops To empower the community with knowledge, we will conduct interactive, culturally-tailored workshops on key health topics. Nutrition & Water Safety (General Community): Promoting dietary diversity and safe water practices. Puberty & Hygiene (Teenagers): Gender-segregated sessions on physical changes, reproductive health, and personal hygiene in a comfortable, respectful environment. Dental Hygiene (Children): Fun, hands-on demonstrations on cavity prevention and proper brushing techniques. Basic First Aid (Youth): Practical simulations for managing common emergencies like cuts, burns, and sprains. Healthy Aging (Seniors): Guidance on managing chronic conditions, medication safety, and gentle mobility exercises. Program 3: Food & Resources Donation To provide tangible support that extends beyond the mission dates, we will coordinate a donation drive. Needs-Based Approach: We will work with our partners to compile a "Wish List" of urgent items, ensuring our contributions are practical and impactful. Impactful donation: Heavy essentials (food staples, hygiene products) will be sourced locally in Surabaya to support the regional economy and ensure freshness. Lightweight or specialized educational materials will be transported by our team from Hong Kong.

Information about our recent and previous work in Vietnam VIETNAM Intro In the coming June 2024, Sunshine Action & Doctor of Excellence is partnering to conduct some charity and healthcare programs around Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Local partner organizations: - Sisters of the Lovers of the Hole Cross Congregation of Cai Mon, LHC - Gia Dinh Tinh Thuong Te-Phan (The Orphanage) 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 & volunteering in several local organizations - Providing Health Check and others health related programs 1. Promotion of health awareness: The health check-up program is designed to provide medical assistance to local Vietnamese communities that lack access to healthcare facilities. The program aims to promote a deeper understanding of health conditions and educate individuals on preventive measures for both infectious and non-infectious diseases, as well as the maintenance of good physical health. Through the program, individuals can increase their health awareness and acquire knowledge about hygiene maintenance. This program is an initiative that seeks to address the healthcare needs of underprivileged communities and promote overall well-being. 2. Provision of professional advice and guidance: A DOE doctor mentor will be in attendance to offer expert advice for local villagers based on their health check results after examination, which includes guidance on daily healthy routines, nutritional recommendations, appropriate physical activity, and strategies for managing a healthy lifestyle, to assist local residents in enhancing their well-being. 3. Early detection of health issues: A comprehensive health check that includes an assessment of body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and other relevant indicators can facilitate the identification of potential health concerns. This screening may detect hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions before they become symptomatic. Prompt intervention and management of these conditions can significantly reduce their impact on an individual's health. Therefore, this health check up is the first step to maintaining optimal health and wellbeing of the local residents in Vietnam. The SUNSHINE STUDENTS SPONSORSHIP program in Vietnam (2013), sponsoring 30 childen on a yearly basis... this is the first time we met them personally in the villages. Since 2008, SUNSHINE ACTION volunteers have been in VIETNAM almost on yearly basis consecutively for the following programs: - Food & basic material distribution for thousands of poor, including severely sick, handicapped, etc... - Toilets for the handicapped & poor elderly - WATER PUMPS to provide clean water for the villagers - FREE MEDICINE for the poor. Sunshine Action Medicine program covers approx. 12'000 cases per year. - New Bridges for the villages - Visit & Food for the Orphanage - PLANT the PLANET : follow SUNSHINE ACTION tradition to plant trees everywhere the volunteers go.

STUDENT SPONSORSHIPS Sponsoring Low-Income Students Around the World Since 2013, Sunshine Action is sponsoring students of low income/poor families to continue their education, all around the world. Most of the students are from single parent families, who lack the resources to support the child's education costs. Sunshine Action visits the students periodically to ensure that the program reaches the ones who need it the most. The sponsorship program helps to pay for: Students' annual tuition fees School books and stationery Uniforms Students' transportations costs Teacher's salaries Sunshine Action have sponsored students in countries like Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Kenya, Thailand and India.

Sunshine Action is a non-profit organization founded in 2008. Since our establishment, the charity has partnered with more than 970 centers and organizations across 25 countries including the USA, UK, Asia and in 2023 in the relief programs in Turkey due to the earthquake and Ukraine due to the war, helping over 430,000 individuals and families. Our programs span 14 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, mainly focusing on food and hunger. We are non-religious, non-political and non-discriminatory, and are also 100% based on volunteers which means that 96% of funding goes directly towards those in need. Introduction of the Sunshine Chari-thon We are currently planning to expand Sunshine Action’s presence in the US. UK and other Countries. Our partnerships with students and interns from the universities have proven positive for networking, and we now want to establish a comprehensive network active in each state through our new “Sunshine Chari-thon” initiative. The “Sunshine Chari-thon” focuses on connecting with any universities and private or international schools in each city, county, state or region. Each participating institution will have one leading intern responsible in organizing events. Our goal is to run a “Sunshine Food Bag” event in one of the 50 states taking one Sunshine Food Bag event each week. Examples of the Sunshine Chari-thon Oxford University, UK University of Hong Kong UCL University College London, UK University of Chicago, Illinois, USA NYU New York University, New York, USA University of Pennsylvania, USA University of St. Andrews, Scotland University of Cambridge, UK University of Toronto, Canada - Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) Miami University at Oxford, Ohio USA NUS National University of Singapore CUHK Chinese University of Hong Kong University of Georgia, USA The Backpack Project Athens Loughborough University, UK WBB Program - Hong Kong University of Science & Technology – USC University of Southern California & Università Bocconi Columbia University in the City of New York , USA Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York, US Universiy of Washington, Seattle, USA Objectives & goals - Why schools & students should participate Inspire and motivate young people and students to actively participate in the Sunshine Chari-thon events. Foster the development of valuable skills such as teamwork, leadership, networking, and real-world problem-solving through the program. Provide participants the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in fundraising, event planning, and executing impactful community initiatives. Enable participants to feel part of a larger, international network committed to make a positive difference.
