One of the community groups GEG is working with for this event is the Lam Kwun King Memorial Fund (Memorial Fund). The founder of Memorial Fund, Lam Tak Hing Vincent JP is the recipient of the China Charity Award, considered the country's highest honour for philanthropy.
The Memorial Fund, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, is widely respected for its commitment to supporting the education of underprivileged students from rural areas in Henan and Yunnan provinces. Embracing the long-term vision of its mission – which is to inspire and motivate young people from isolated regions with exposure to the outside world, including cultural, social and technological developments – the Memorial Fund has also sponsored and organised summer camps and visits to metropolitan Chinese cities. Since 2005, it has empowered more than 40,000 young people through various initiatives, helping them expand their perspectives beyond their isolated communities.

Ronnie O'Sullivan ‘hasn't given up on Hong Kong', immigration chief says
Snooker star Ronnie O'Sullivan, who obtained Hong Kong residency last year through a talent scheme, 'has not given up' on the city, the immigration chief has said, despite the newlywed seven-time world champion recently revealing plans to move to the Middle East. Asked about O'Sullivan's intentions after he confirmed two days ago that he had married actress Laila Rouass, Director of Immigration Benson Kwok Joon-fung said on Sunday that he had been in touch with him and had stressed that Hong Kong's door was still open to him. 'As far as I understand, a lot has been happening for him in the past few months, and it's hard to say if his immigration plans will change,' Kwok said. 'However, he also hasn't given up on Hong Kong. From what I know, he is expected to come to Hong Kong next month to attend the opening ceremony of his snooker club here. 'He really likes Hong Kong, so if there are things here that can entice him to stay, he might just choose Hong Kong as his place of residence.' Immigration chief Benson Kwok says he has been in touch with Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Golden Harvest closes its 4 remaining cinemas amid industry upheaval in Hong Kong
Golden Harvest shut down all four of its remaining cinemas in Hong Kong on Sunday, including one that will not be leased to a new operator, leaving residents disappointed by the loss of another venue. GH Galaxy in Shau Kei Wan ceased operations, while Golden Harvest's other three cinemas, Sky at Olympian City, StagE in Tuen Mun and GH in Tai Po will all be leased to a new operator from Monday. On its final day, GH Galaxy offered six showings across its two screens. By 5.30pm, the only sold-out showing was Behind the Shadows, a new release from June 12, with many empty seats in other screenings, particularly in the front rows. 'To be honest, I am not so surprised to hear about the closure,' Jason Chan, an architect in his thirties who lives a 10-minute walk away, told the Post at the cinema. 'First, there are fewer and fewer screenings, and then there is no staff working here – only self-service machines now. I can feel it is dying slowly.' Chan expressed his regret but hoped a new operator might take over in the future. Another resident, who identified himself as Danny L, said he would miss the 'human touch' of Golden Harvest cinemas. He noted that the chain often hosted events where film-goers could meet actors and actresses, while he also appreciated the friendly staff.

Thousands flock to Chiikawa gift set giveaway in Hong Kong ahead of exhibition
Thousands of Hong Kong fans of the hugely popular Japanese anime and manga series Chiikawa lined up for a merchandise giveaway in the run-up to a summer exhibition featuring the characters that are expected to draw local and foreign visitors alike. Fans queued at Austin MTR station and other locations on Sunday afternoon to collect their free party hats and balloons, which featured either Chiikawa, Usagi or Hachiware – the three most recognisable characters from the series. Gift sets were handed out at random to fans who had preregistered for the event. Those who were unable to pick up their favourite characters ended up trading their gift sets with others, their faces lighting up after making a successful swap. Among those assembled at the station was Michelle Tsang, 27, who showed up in a Chiikawa T-shirt. She said she loved the franchise because the plot, which relates closely to the lives of an employee, had a certain healing power for her. 'Usagi does not care about others' opinions and lives true to oneself, while Chiikawa is the one who works diligently but quietly,' she said.
