Our volunteers were back in Yuen Long. On 14 September 2025 we kept our promise and returned to On Sum Kui Home for the Elderly. It had been barely a month since our last visit, and the moment we walked in, the residents and staff recognised us. The welcome was immediate and loud. This time we came better equipped.
On 13 September 2025 our volunteer team joined the Hong Kong Paper Crafting Association for a care package distribution in Kwu Tung, with a line-up and a level of warmth that were both hard to beat. This one brought together goodwill from several directions.
On 6 September 2025 our environmental volunteers were out again, this time taking on the demanding shoreline at Tsing Lung Tau. The most eye-catching addition to the team that day was a very bright, very determined young volunteer who came along with his father to join in.
This was a day worth marking. On 4 September 2025 LucaBridge's free Chinese medicine clinic — long in the planning — opened for the first time. The idea behind this new programme is to bring professional, attentive healthcare directly into the community, for residents and elderly people who may not otherwise get the chance to look after their health properly.
On the eve of Yu Lan Festival, a day given over to remembrance and gratitude, our volunteer team headed to Wah Yuen Noodles in Yuen Long for a care package distribution with a considerable line-up behind it. First and most importantly, our thanks to the Lung family and Wui Kong International Trading Company for their generous sponsorship.
On the afternoon of 31 August 2025 our volunteers were still going. Making the most of August's last few hours, we headed in numbers to Sing Fai Restaurant, a place full of neighbourhood character, for an afternoon of meal and care package distribution. A Sunday afternoon did nothing to dull the team's enthusiasm.
As August drew to a close, on 30 August 2025, our volunteer team headed to a busy Lung Hei. We had 400 well-filled care packages of health items and everyday essentials ready, and a weekend greeting to go with them. The best part of the day was how many new volunteers had joined us, bringing a fresh burst of energy to the team.
The response to the first session was so strong that on 24 August 2025 LucaBridge and Zhiqiao Foreign Language Education put on a second Daruma painting workshop for parents and children. It sold out again the moment it opened, and the room filled once more with families ready to get stuck in. Word of mouth from the first session meant the six participants arrived even keener.
On 23 August 2025 our charity Pokémon TCG tournament at Din Din House in Hung Hom produced more than its share of memorable moments. Popular YouTuber Mimi joined us on the day, but the thing nobody saw coming — and the thing that had the whole room cheering — was what happened on the tables: two of the competitors turned out to be father and son.
On 17 August 2025 our volunteer team visited Yan Wo Home for the Elderly in Pat Heung, a top-rated residential home, bringing supplies and, we hoped, some warmth and company for the residents. The day was as lively as ever. Our volunteers divided the work between them and handed 35 care packages of everyday health items to residents in person.
