You can help Sunshine Action alleviate poverty through donations and our volunteering opportunities. SUNSHINE ACTION DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEERING TO FEED THE HUNGRY AND PROVIDE WARMTH TO THE ABANDONED International Branches: United Kingdom Hong Kong United States of America Volunteering Global Footprints: all below programs are conducted by Sunshine Action Hong Kong Bangladesh Cambodia Chile India Indonesia Kenya Myanmar Nepal Phillipines South Africa Sri Lanka Thailand Vietnam

OUR STORY On January 1st 2008, three volunteers founded Sunshine Action with nothing but heart and one mission: to serve those in need. 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. Having worked with 30 organizations in only its first year, Sunshine Action has grown tremendously. Today, it is estimated that Sunshine Action has helped over 430,000 people directly, reaching 25 countries & regions worldwide, and partnering with around 950 other charitable organizations. Moreover, we've greatly expanded in volunteering programs since our launch, having had more than 10,000 students and corporate volunteers working together for this mission. We take pride in the many events and programs which Sunshine Action have hosted over the years, mainly in our Fortune Bag and Street Sleepers programs in Hong Kong, US & UK. 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. We stay committed to serving those in need. The UN Sustainable Development Goals Sunshine Action has many different programs around the world. Our programs address 14 of the 17 UN sustainable development goals, with a main focus on no poverty and zero hunger. BENEFICIARIES Sunshine Action has done several mass programs reaching over 400,000 low-income families and individuals through over 800 organizations/centers in 23 countries. These countries include U.S.A., US, Hong Kong, China, Bangladesh, South Africa, Myanmar, Kenya, Mongolia, India, Zimbabwe, Chile, Macau, Nepal, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Ukraine, Turkey, Zambia & Philippines. Our programs cover 14 UN Sustainable Development Goals, including donation of rice and packed foods, medicines, products of basic needs, as well as medical missions, building houses and environmental programs.

NEPAL Intro After an earthquake in Nepal, Sunshine Action contacted their partnering organisations around Kathmandu to help provide materials and services. Volunteers distributed food and essential materials to several orphanages including: Ardgya Ashrama Khokana Leprosy Village Buddha Bhumi Buddhist Centre Nepal Old Age Mgmt / Social Welfare Trust Education Centre for Helpless Children Our Child Protection Foundation Nepal Rising Lotus Children Village - COTS Children off the Street Light of Nation Kaleshwor Children Home KCH, Lalitpur New Light Nepal Missionaries of Charity Shanti Bhavan, Kathmandu. Nov 2014 Seven Sunshine Action volunteers went to Kathmandu and benefited over 800 people directly. During this trip, Sunshine Action worked with the same 10 NGOs as listed above. Sept 2013 3 Sunshine Action volunteers traveled to Kathmandu and distributed food & materials for 6 local organizations. Sunshine Action also recruited over 100 children to the Sunshine Student Sponsorship program, where Sunshine Action helps cover the entire years education fees. During this trip, volunteers distributed more than 15 tones of food, including rice, Dal (lentils), oil, sugar, salt, soap and many more. These goods were donated to Buddha Bhumi Buddhist Centre Nepal, as well as 3 other orphanages, benefitting over 1000 people directly. Sept 2012 For this trip, with thanks to Master Most Ven. Bhikkhu Maitree, Sunshine Action got permitted into the Fulabari Temple in Lumbini. Collaborating with the Buddha Buddhist Bhumi Center Nepal, we gave 7kg of rice, 5kg of beans, 1kg of sugar and 1L of oil to each person. In total, we donated these materials to over 1500 families and individuals. It was our great pleasure have great moment in Lumbini, NEPAL. May 2011 Nine Sunshine Action volunteers travelled to Kathmandu and visited multiple organizations with love, compassion & learning spirit. This program covered more than 911 cases, estimated to benefit 1210 people directly with over 8000 kg of basic food and materials, plus donation on building project on temple. Plant the Planet Sunshine Action has included NEPAL in the PLANT the PLANET program, which covers apple trees, orange trees, guava trees and many other types together with the students & volunteers. Our first Sunshine Flower garden was also created in Nepal.

INDONESIA Intro The Sunshine Action volunteers visited 2 organizations including Sekolah Darurat Kartini and Indonesian Care for Cancer Kids Foundation in Jakarta Indonesia, donated Rice, Sugar, Cooking Oil and Green Beans, covering 588 children. Kartini Emergency School 20 years ago, the twin sisters Rossy & Rian, started the Kartini Emergency School providing free education and food for the street children in the slum area of Jakarta Indonesia. The Twin sisters and others specialized teachers provide free education for 573 students in this open area. Today, beside the base in Jakarta, their system has expanded to 87 schools in the Urban areas of Indonesia and each of the school is covering approximately 100-200 students.

CAMBODIA Intro After our service trip to Cambodia and Thailand, Sunshine Action is proud to have reignited its charitable partnerships overseas. COVID-19 restricted travel and exacerbated health and poverty conditions, preventing our missions abroad while increasing the need for our service. Currently, due to decreased tourism, both Cambodia and Thailand suffer an economic shock to their food and hospitality sectors, leaving many families desperate and with no one to turn to. Conscious of this need, it was our mission to provide supplies and medical examinations for vulnerable communities. In Siem Reap, we partnered with 26 members of Doctors of Excellence, a mixture of HKU and CUHK medical students, to provide pro bono medical attention. There, we spent time with each unique group of children, working with their leadership to conduct vision, BMI, and overall wellness checks. Together, we played games, provided medical care, food, and school supplies. It was bittersweet to simultaneously experience Cambodia’s vibrant culture as well as the suffering economy that has displaced numerous families from their homes. 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 and volunteering in several local organizations Provide SSS Sunshine Student Sponsorship to street & and poor children ***program subjected to change in actual environment, final fundraised amount & weather Though a touristic nightlife prevails, the day is marked by parents unable to take care of their children and increased rates of malnutrition stunting Cambodia’s future.

Sunshine Fortune Bags This was the first official program of Sunshine Action in 2008 and remains our biggest project after more than a decade. We started with the simple concept that "Everyone Needs to Eat", called our donations Fortune Bags, and used the Festive Seasons as a motivation to donate. From 2024, the Sunshine Action weekly events are in reels at the Sunshine Action Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunshineactionhk The History of the Sunshine Fortune Bags The Fortune Bag Program packs and distributes bags full of rice, pasta, dry foods, sauces, toiletries, and other necessities to low-income individuals supported by our partner beneficiaries. The Sunshine Fortune Bag Program is the biggest program in the organization, which focuses on poverty relief. The Sunshine Fortune Bags have been distributed in many countries & regions around the world, including UK, USA, Canada, Vietnam, Kenya, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Mongolia, India, Macau, Nepal, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam & the Philippines in the last 17years. In 2023, Sunshine Action is struggling to financially sustain all programs, including the Fortune Bag Program. Your contribution would mean a lot to us. Donate now! The first charity organization Sunshine Action donated Fortune Bags to was the HK Women Workers Association and its sister organization, Cleaning Workers’ Association. At that time in early 2008, there was no minimum wage in Hong Kong. Most cleaning workers made an average of only HKD$3,500-4,500 per month (USD$450-580). Many struggled to pay rent and sustain their families but could not apply for social welfare support. When Sunny started the Sunshine Fortune Bags program in 2008, there were only a couple of volunteers each season to pack all bags. They borrowed the office from HK Women Workers Association to store the food. Volunteers came on Saturdays and Sundays for 3 consecutive weekends to pack the bags. Sunshine Action did not have its own office until 4 years later. This was the humble beginning of Sunshine Action, the world's smallest charity organization. The Fortune Bag Program has since expanded outside of Hong Kong. Sunshine Action began providing Fortune Bags in Macau in 2011. Fortune Bags have also been distributed in Vietnam, Kenya, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Mongolia, India, Nepal, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam & the Philippines. Occasionally, we also donate to local charity kitchens in bulk. In addition to distributing Fortune Bags, Sunshine Action has donated food to the poor through the following organizations: Blue Sky Food Assistance Serv. Project Crossroad Foundation Feeding Hong Kong Food Angel Food Grace Foodlink Foundation Food for Good Food Friend Action Greener Action J Life Foundation K.T. Methodist Cleaners Community Food Bank Christian Action Kitchen for the Refugees Missionaries of Charity Nam Cheong shelter St. James Settlement People's Food Bank YWAM Food Bank Tuen Mun Fortune Bag Records The biggest Sunshine Fortune Bags program conducted in a single morning was during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2020, donating over 7,500 Sunshine Fortune Bags for the poor and elderly in Hong Kong, through 70 local centres. The heaviest Sunshine Fortune Bags were packed during September 2020 for Mid-Autumn Festival and World Food Day, with each bag containing 9-10 items and averaging 9 kg (or roughly 20 lbs) each The most expensive Sunshine Fortune Bags were made in May 2019 for Mother's & Father's Day. Each bag included 9 items and was approximately worth HKD$300 (USD$40). A total of 3,000 bags were distributed (total market value of HKD$900,000 or USD$120,000) during this period, making it the single most expensive program ever done in the history of Sunshine Action! Student and School Involvement Sunshine Action works with schools to fundraise, package and distribute Fortune Bags. We have conducted the Fortune Bag Program in the following schools or the events are organized by the students from: University of Chicago, Illinois, USA 芝加哥大學 University of Oxford, UK 牛津大學 UCL University College London, UK 倫敦大學學院 UCLA University of California , Los Angeles 加州大學 University of Pennsylvania 賓夕法尼亞大學 University of Toronto, Canada 多倫多大學 Phi Gamma Delta NYU New York University, US 紐約大學 University of St. Andrews , Scotland 聖安德魯斯大學 University of Cambridge , UK 劍橋大學 University of Georgia 喬治亞大學 The Backpack Project Athens Miami University at Oxford 邁阿密大學 , Ohio, USA Chinese University of Hong Kong 香港中文大學 Loughborough University 拉夫堡大學 ⁠Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York, USA DBS Diocesan Boys’ School 拔萃男書院 ⁠ ⁠CIS Chinese International School 漢基國際學校 Kowloon Wah Yan School 九龍華仁書院 ⁠ Yew Chung International School 耀中國際學校 ⁠ Hong Kong International School 香港國際學校 ⁠ ⁠Canadian International School 加拿大國際學校 ⁠ESF King George V School 英基英皇佐治五世學校 ⁠ESF Bradbury School 英基白普理小學 ESF Beacon Hill School 英基畢架山小學 ⁠ ESF Kennedy School 英基堅尼地小學 ⁠ ESF Discovery College 英基智新書院 ⁠ ⁠ESF Renaissance College 英基啓新書院 ⁠ESF West Island School 英基西島中學 ⁠Stamford American School Hong Kong 史丹福美國國際學校香港 How Do Schools Help? Schools can help support the Fortune Bag Program in several ways: Hosting an event – Fortune Bag events require a venue and space for short-term food storage. Most food purchased by Sunshine Action would arrive 2-4 days before the packing event and normally in pallets. The items do not need to be stored inside rooms, but preferably under a roof to avoid potential rain. Schools must provide space for assembly lines to pack Fortune Bags. The open space should be fit for at least 6 assembly lines, with 3 long tables for each line. Fundraising and collecting donation items – items must be collected for distribution prior to the packing event. The target for donations should be the target number of Fortune Bags x 3-4 items per bag. These items must be at least 6 months from expiry date and not be stored in glass containers. During the pandemic, protective masks and other anti-pandemic items are also welcome. Schools can also create fundraising events to support the purchase of items for donation. On average, the school and students involved collect 50% of the donated content and Sunshine Action covers the remaining 50%.

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.
