Sunshine DB Club 「耀陽行動 」+「出類拔萃」 = 耀陽拔萃會 ⭐ 「出類拔萃」這句成語，就從《孟子． 公孫丑上》中的「出於其類，拔乎其萃」演變而出，用來形容才能特出，超越眾人。 Since 2019, Diocesan Boys’ School 男拔萃 (DBS) has cultivated not only academic distinction but also a profound ethos of compassion through its enduring partnership with Sunshine Action. Exemplary students who demonstrate exceptional dedication and leadership are honored with the distinction of Sunshine Ambassadors—appointed pupil leaders entrusted with guiding and overseeing the initiatives of Sunshine Action’s DBS chapter. 🌐 Comprising primarily alumni who have been engaged with Sunshine Action since Grade 10, the club serves as a vital nexus, uniting past and present students in a shared commitment to service. Its core mission is threefold: to foster connections among alumni, facilitate participation in Sunshine Action’s philanthropic endeavors, and orchestrate bespoke corporate collaborations that enhance professional development opportunities. For many years, Diocesan Boys’ School has maintained an exceptional academic record in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, consistently producing 4-5 graduates with a perfect score of ib45 points and approximately 10 high achievers of ib44 and many more ib43 within a cohort of around 60 students. The school’s average IB score of 42.5 further attests to its rigorous academic standards and the caliber of its students. Remarkably, in the inaugural year of its partnership with Sunshine Action, Diocesan Boys’ School achieved an extraordinary milestone—emerging as the top-ranked IB school globally that year. This unprecedented accomplishment not only underscored the institution’s academic excellence but also highlighted the transformative impact of strategic collaboration in fostering unparalleled educational outcomes. In 2025, they stand as IBDP graduates, their potential honed and their purpose sharpened, crossing a defining threshold: their inaugural corporate meeting with Margaret Lo, Executive Director and Head of Philanthropy Investment Services BNP Paribas 法國巴黎銀行—a luminary in the world of strategic giving. ☀ For the "Sunshine DB Club 耀陽拔萃會" , this was more than a ceremonial introduction to high-impact philanthropy; it was a masterclass in influence, a gateway to the inner workings of legacy-building generosity. The dialogue transcended mere networking—it was an immersion into the alchemy of turning vision into action, where every handshake carried the weight of future collaborations and every insight could seed tomorrow’s transformative projects. ⭐ Here, education met execution. The students didn’t just observe; they engaged with the architecture of change, learning that the currency of impact is not just intention, but access—to wisdom, to networks, to the unspoken rhythms of leadership. Now, as these alumni embark on new journeys across the globe, we are proud to unveil an inspiring next chapter: 💫 “The Sunshine DBS Club” connecting the alumini Why Join the “ Sunshine DB Club ” ? 🌍 Reconnect & Rekindle – Forge bonds with fellow DBS Sunshine Ambassadors and DBS alumni spanning the US, UK, Hong Kong, and beyond.

PHILIPPINES Intro We visited the garbage mountain at TONDO in Manila Philippine, an area with approx. 1.1 millions peoples and this garbage area cover nearly 25 hectares with few hundred thousands peoples living under poverty line. They spent most of the time collecting plastic, metal, or paper to make a living in a home without a bathroom or a kitchen. SUNSHINE ACTION donated some food and other resources to several charity organizations. We visited the house with over 70 mentally disorder children in TONDO and then nearly 30 handicapped children in QUEZON CITY. Virlainie Foundation 20 years ago, Mr. Dominique LEMAY from France created Virlanie Foundation to take care of the street children in Manila. Now, they have over 10 houses for these children and young adults. Each house is managed by a Father & Mother as real couple giving the love and warm of family. Virlanie Foundation is the biggest NGO in Philippines for the Street Children and Dominique has helped over 10'000 children reunited with family, being adopted or simply changed their destiny from the street.

CHINA Shenyang (瀋陽） Shenyang (瀋陽) is the capital and largest city of Liaoning Province, the People's Republic of China. Shenyang is located on the southern edge of the Northeast Plain, connected to the Liaodong Peninsula in the south and the Changbai Mountain foothills to the north. It is located within the Bohai Rim Economic Circle and is an important hub for China's Bohai Rim region, Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula. Shenyang City currently governs ten districts, one city and two counties, with a total area of approximately 13,000 square kilometers and an urban area of 3,495 square kilometers. As of 2020, it had a population of 9.07 million, making it the largest city in Northeast China in terms of urban population. By the end of 2016, more than 13,000 HIV cases had been reported in Liaoning, with more than 6,000 cases in Shenyang. As testing increases and high-risk groups become aware of their own health, there will be an increase in the number of HIV cases. As the AIDS epidemic in Liaoshen area continues to increase, more and more patients require antiviral treatment and hospitalization. As the Department of Infectious Diseases of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University provides inpatient treatment for patients, the treatment in Shenyang City is most effective among the three northeastern provinces. Some patients from the other northeastern provinces come to Shenyang for testing and treatment, however many patients cannot return home on the same day. As Shenyang is the economic and cultural center of Northeast China, some patients choose to come to Shenyang to work whilst getting treated, but they are often unable to find a suitable place to stay. Additionally, family members of patients who come to care for hospitalized patients have no place to stay, thus they cannot provide proper care for patients. FIREFLY CO-OP GROUP - 螢火蟲工作組 The Firefly Co-op Group is a group hoping to provide support for HIV-infected individuals in Shenyang through various different services. Their main objectives include: Short-term objectives: 1、Understand current health status and infection history of HIV patients 2、Ensure compliance with treatment plan 3、Provide a safe space for HIV patients to express their feelings about their HIV infection. 4、Provide emotional support and help to HIV patients. 5、Identify depressive suicidal thoughts and provide timely treatment and consultation 6、Understand the significance of life-threatening death to yourself 7、Long-term survivors’ career and survival plans Long-term objectives: 1、Help patients accept their HIV infection and its subsequent consequences 2、Address the guilt and shame associated with HIV 3、Increase awareness of HIV and facilitate treatment to improve the condition 4、Reduce fear, helplessness, and loneliness in HIV patients 5、Resolve feelings anger and revenge 6、Accept HIV status and participate in society without resentment Sunshine Action volunteers with and funds the several programs run by the Firefly Co-op group. “宜仁居”Temporary Shelter One of the main projects Sunshine Action helps fund is the halfway house (宜仁居）project . These temporary shelters (宜仁居) provides the following services: food and accommodation services, testing appointments, volunteer opportunities, hospitalisation services, nursing services, poverty and disease relief and other services. The " 宜仁居 " venues is also used to carry out different events such as small peer education, childbirth self-rescue, birthday parties, small gatherings, traditional Chinese medicine treatment etc. The venues can also be used to provide a comfortable, safe and confidential communication platform for patients and their families. With the Firefly Co-op Group, we have provided: - Free meals to 4791 people - Entertainment and visitations to 3682 people - Telephone and network consultations 32,309 times - Chinese medicine treatment 733 times - Subsistence allowances and retired 187 people - Surgery and hospital treatment for 853 people - Hospital transfers for 96 people - Policy documents for 4791 people Red Ribbon Clinical Services - 紅絲帶門診服務 After testing positive, patients regularly visit the Red Ribbon Clinic of China Medical University for testing, follow-up, and medicine collection. Some tests must be taken on an empty stomach and can take a long time to complete. Not only have the staff and volunteers of the Shenyang Firefly Co-op Group helped resolve relevant issues raised by patients onsite, but they have also been providing "one-on-one" and "face-to-face" services to patients at the Red Ribbon Clinic. The services provided include: Free Breakfast: Provided free breakfast service of bread and milk to infected persons and patients Information and consultation services: Provide relevant treatment, social welfare information, and medication consultation to care recipients Referral service: Provide referrals for treatment, coordinate hospitalization, etc. for care recipients. Volunteer services: provide testing appointments, feedback on test results, doctor appointments, retrieve test orders, help deliver medicines, and accompany infected persons and patients. The Firefly Working Group have provided their services to over 34,586 patients at the Red Ribbon Clinic. They have also helped handle the delivery of medicines to 5,491 patients, and provided testing services to to 365 people. Their work has prevented HIV in 1,500 people. Pre vention and Advertising The Firefly Co-op Group also encourages HIV-infected persons to help raise awareness about HIV. The participation of these individuals in AIDS publicity, education and anti-discrimination work can help increase people's support for HIV-infected peop le and have a long-term effect on correcting society's misunderstandings about AIDS. Not only that, the direct participation of infected people can also hone their speaking and training skills and abilities, allowing them to gradually play a more important role in the response to AIDS. The latest statistics show that the number of infected people in colleges and universities in Liaoning Province is increasing rapidly, as college students tend to be sexually active. If the infection cannot be detected in time, it will have a serious impact on their future employment and life. To raise awareness about HIV infection, staff and volunteers of the Firefly Co-op Group give lectures at university campuses on AIDS knowledge. HIV-infected people also give anti-disc rimination lectures to reduce social discrimination against infected people. Volunteers from the Firefly Co-op Group also participated in the Liaoning Provincial Red Cross AIDS Care Project, where volunteers served as college student peer education hosts and provided relevant training for college student volunteers in many sc hools in Liaoning Province. Other Service s The Firefly Co-op Group also provides services for HIV-infected patients who are in poverty to help them with their HIV journey, which i nclude providing financial aid for patients in poverty to help them improve their quality of life. The group also provides support for HIV patients to live their lifes after their diagnosis. The diagnosis of HIV can have significant impacts on the lives of the patients. Many patients become unable to work and thus lose their jobs due to infections that were not treated in time, which can cause financial burden for patients and their families. To help with this "poverty due to illness", the Firefly Co-op Group helps patients learn various skills to increase the employability of patients. By inviting hand-knitting artists and using the "宜仁居" venues to provide hand-knitting skills training, infected people and patients can master one or several hand-knitting skills. The products created by patients are sold in charity sales held by different organisations (such as the Firefly Co-op Group, Red Cross etc.), and all proceeds go back to the HIV patients. This program not only increases the living income of patients, but can also boost psychological wellbeing through the knitting process. The Group also carries out home and hospital visits to lift the mood of patients and reduce psychological distress, educate family members and carers about HIV, which in turn can not only strengthen the relationship between patients and their families, but can also help combat the prejudice against HIV patients. Within society, the Firefly Co-op group also does many events and activities to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS. In addition to the lectures to university students, the Firefly Co-op group also organises talks to different members of society, and each talk is specifically designed to target a specific group within society. The Firefly Co-op Group also provides psychological support to HIV patients to reduce anger, resentment, loneliness and fear, and helps patients learn to cope with the changes that come with the infection. This in turn, can help patients re-integrate themselves within society. In addition to Firefly Co-op Group, Sunshine Action has also donated to the following HIV Charities: - Aids Concern 關懷愛滋 - Hong Kong AIDS Foundation 香港愛滋病基金會 - Society of Aids Care 愛滋寧養服務協會 (香港) - SVD Mother of Perpetual Help Center (Thailand) - PRERANA - org. by PLWHA (Nepal) - Happy Heaven Humanitarian Project (Myanmar) - Wangige 'Stars of Hope' HIV group (Kenya) - Karai Pamoja HIV group (Kenya) - Gikambura Gibra HIV Group (Kenya) - Thogoto Gibra HIV Group (Kenya) - Kikuyu C.A.E. group (Kenya) - A.C.K. Gathiga HIV/AIDS self-help group (Kenya) - Gitaru Muguga CBO HIV group (Kenya) - Missionaries of Charities 泰國仁愛之家 (Nong Bua Lumphu-Thailand) - Tung Tam Mai Hoi ( Ho Chi Minh-Vietnam) - NHCC New Hope for the Cambodian Children (Cambodia) - Happy Tree House of Rainbow Bridge (Cambodia)

OUR STORY In early 2008, following several months of a charitable sojourn through Kolkata, India, and Bangkok, Thailand—during which he served the dying destitute, the differently-abled, AIDS orphans, and those among the poorest of the poor—Sunny established Sunshine Action. The organization’s name is a deliberate synthesis of his official Chinese and English names "耀陽 Sunny", with the suffix “Action” signifying the tangible, mobilizing force of his humanitarian efforts through this initiative. It was the year of Lehman Bros. Bankrupt and Asian Financial Crisis of 2008. 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. For nearly two decades, Sunny Mak Yiu-Yeung, the founder of Sunshine Action, single-handedly managed approximately 98% or more of the organization’s administrative and coordinative functions. For many years, he was best known as a veritable “one-man band,” operating entirely alone in Hong Kong. In this capacity, he not only administered the organization but also conceived and executed every programme—tasks for which volunteers, interns, and students would later join, though solely within the frameworks he had already designed and implemented. Remarkably, Sunny also belongs to an exceedingly rare echelon of philanthropists who have donated different resources and food to more than 1,000 charitable centers and humanitarian organizations worldwide —a milestone he achieved in August 2025 . According to available records, fewer than ten individuals are known to have reached this distinguished level of philanthropic engagement across a global population exceeding eight billion, a figure that excludes institutional foundations. This distinction stems not from vast personal wealth, but from many years of consistent hard work and relentless effort in identifying new programs, forging new destinations, and cultivating partnerships within a vast global network. Back in 2007, the founder of Sunshine Acton, Sunny, was a regular volunteer for few charity organizations. One evening, he was called upon to help distribute food to the street-sleepers in the Yaumatei area. When Sunny arrived to the site, the center gave him alongside other volunteers some breads & butter, and a beverage. They started to walk the entire Yaumatei area–next to the wholesale fruit market of HKG- and distributed those breads with butter that evening. When Sunny came back home that evening he discussed with his best friend and they decided to do it again themselves. They simply bought tunas, hams, tomatoes, lettuces, breads, cheeses and packed all the sandwiches again and walked along the same roads they did with the charity center. At that time they both had full-time jobs, but luckily their office was close to home, so the sandwiches could be packed right after office hours. Sunny carried all the sandwiches and his friend carried all beverages. It was quite heavy for only 2 persons, but they continued doing so for months to come. Since then, they have without fail delivered these sandwich meals and drinks on the evening of major Festive Holidays, including: parent’s days, mid-autumn festival, Christmas Eve, New year eve, because these are the evenings that nobody would care about them. So they decided to be always there for these people to show with care and compassion delivering food. For nearly 20 years, Sunny has witnessed every evolution & revolution that has occurred in these areas. We distribute the dinner boxes, the supplements, anti-pandemic items, essential materials, cash coupons, a variety of food and beverages, others essentials, hot pads, etc. Within a year, Sunny & his friend created "SUNSHINE ACTION 耀陽行動" on June 2008, therefore this is the oldest program of Sunshine Action as they started doing it before the organisation was founded. By 2026, Sunshine Action has donated and partnered with over 1’100 charity organizations and centers ar ound the World. 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. To date, Sunshine Action 耀陽行動 has extended its reach to the following 2️⃣8️⃣ Countries and Special Admin Regions already: 1-China 中國 2-Hong Kong 香港 3-Macau 澳門 4-Inner Mongolia - 蒙古 5-Bangladesh - 孟加拉 6-Cambodia - 柬埔寨 7-Canada - 加拿大 8-Chile - 智利 Earthquake relief 9-Colombia - 哥倫比亞 10-India - 印度 11-Indonesia - 印尼 12-Kenya - 肯雅 13-Myanmar - 緬甸 14-Nepal - 尼泊爾 15-Nigeria - 尼日利亞 16-Philippine - 菲律賓 17-Scotland - 蘇格蘭 18-Singapore - 新加坡 19-South Africa - 南非 20-Sri Lanka - 斯里蘭卡 21-Thailand - 泰國 22-Turkey - 土耳其 Earthquake relief 23-U.S.A. 美國 Sunshine Action branch 🌞 24-Ukraine - 烏克蘭 25-United Kingdom 英國 Sunshine Action branch☀️ 26-Vietnam - 越南 27-Zambia - 贊比亞 28-Zimbabwe - 津巴布韋 In 2016, a pivotal cohort of International Baccalaureate students marked the beginning of Sunshine Action’s journey. Among them was Adrian Yan, the very first Sunshine Ambassador, who joined the initiative at just 15 years old. After achieving the distinguished milestone of an IB45—a testament to academic excellence—Adrian joined the ranks of just 20 top IB graduates worldwide to devote themselves to Sunshine Action. By the age of 19, his leadership and commitment had rightfully elevated him to the role of Director for Hong Kong, then US & Uk later on. As of 2026, Sunshine Action proudly counts among its members students from 126 leading global institutions. Its network now includes scholars from world-renowned universities ranked within the QS Top 10, including the University of Chicago, Oxford, Cambridge, National university of Singapore, Hong Kong University, Chinese University of HKG, University College London, UPenn, Columbia, and New York University, etc.... The initiative has also garnered representation from prestigious international schools such as Diocesan Boys' School, Eton College, Brighton College, La Salle College, etc... underscoring its expansive and exceptional reach across the globe. ✨ People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.

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.

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.

SRI LANKA Sunshine Action volunteers went to Chilaw, Sri Lanka with the following mission: - Distribute food for the flood-affected families in Seemaweliya village. We rebuilt 6 completely new houses for those who lost it during the disaster, plus a new community hall.

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.

MICROFINANCE Project Info MicroFinance helps small entrepreneurs and businesses that lack access to normal commercial banking (due to high costs) succeed by helping them financially. History of the MicroFinance Project Sunshine Action started its MicroFinance program in Vietnam in 2014, when it granted 2 groups of farmers and laborers a few cows and micro-loans to help them pursue their projects. Sunshine Action is NOT subvented by the Hong Kong government or any government, the Community Chest of Hong Kong, or the Lottery Fund of the Jockey Club of Hong Kong. All the funding comes from the general public and corporations, and on average 98% of the food, materials and contributions from Sunshine Action are purchased.

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. Procedures and Steps Identify or find a group of students from universities/ schools willing to collaborate. Introduce the Sunshine Chari-thon to each team internationally and locally.

PLANT THE PLANET Project Info Plant the Planet plants trees, flowers, and other plants in countries around the world to help combat climate change. To date, Sunshine Action has planted over 322,000 trees, plants, fruit trees and flowers in Hong Kong, Kenya, China, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Thailand, Nepal, and India. Newly planted trees are sponsored by local farmers and schools. Sunshine Action plants new trees/plants on all charity trips outside of Hong Kong. Sunshine Action is struggling to financially sustain all programs, including the Plant the Planet Program. Your contribution would mean a lot to us. Donate now! History of Plant the Planet Plant the Planet began in 2010 as a way of fighting climate change during Sunshine Action's charity trips. New trees were planted on charity trips to countries outside of Hong Kong. Approximately 280,000 of these trees are in Mongolia and China. Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, Plant the Planet has been suspended since the beginning of the pandemic. However, once travel restrictions are lifted, the program will resume normal activities. Why is Plant the Planet Important? Did you know that an area of rainforest the size of a football field is being destroyed every second? Tropical forests cover 23% of the Earth’s land surface but are disappearing at a rate of 4.6 million hectares per year. Trees are crucial to absorbing carbon dioxide and producing the oxygen that helps sustain humanity. They reduced the greenhouse effect by shading our homes and office buildings, and help maintain the environment by preventing soil erosion, maintaining local rainfall patterns, and maintaining populations of plants, animals, and insects. Planting trees is one of the cheapest and most effective ways of drawing excess carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Fast Facts according to UN Environmental Program: Three-quarters of the world's people rely on wood as their main source of energy. On average, each American uses more than 600 pounds of paper and almost 200 board feet of timber per year A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a rate of 22.7 kg/year (48 lbs) and release enough oxygen back into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings. One acre of trees annually consumes the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to that produced by driving an average car for 41,483km (26,000 miles). That same acre of trees also produces enough oxygen for 18 people to breathe for a year.
