Bridging with love As the event came to a close, the care recipients and refugee families left Jing Si Hall not only with festive gift packs, but also clothing, household items and school supplies they had selected from the pre-loved items corner.

This love seeks nothing in return – only to light hope in difficult times and plant seeds of goodness amidst joy. May its energy continue to flow, embracing every soul in need of comfort.
