For the Bethune House Migrant Women’s Refuge, the work to keep raising funds for the shelter’s upkeep and its clients’ financial needs never ends.
Just a few weeks after reporting that they had met their
target of raising HK$1 million by the end of last year and thanking all their
generous donors who made it happen, Bethune House executive director Edwina Antonio
is again overseeing another charity event to ensure the shelter remains afloat.
Three art-related events captioned “Togetherness: Two
Pillars, One Shelter” have been lined up by Edwina’s team to what they describe
as “an opportunity to celebrate art, community and compassion while supporting
migrant workers who play a vital role in Hong Kong society.”

Street in Central, from 6:30 t0 8:30pm.

On Jan 19, Sunday, “Kitchen Day” hosted by Bethune House residents, Lo Lai Lai and Yip Kai Chun, will be held from 1pm to 4pm at the same venue.
The event to be held over lunch is meant to introduce the
local and migrant artists whose works are being exhibited, and as a channel for
cultural collaboration among the various people from diverse ethnic backgrounds
who are supporting Bethune House.
