BANGLADESH Intro Seven Sunshine Action volunteers visited Dhaka, Bangladesh and served 3 local organizations, including the Missionaries of Charity Shishu Bhavan, Smyrna development Society and Missionaries of Charity House of Compassion.

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.

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!

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.

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.
