【 #保良掌故│迷途女童骨肉重逢的個案📰】

在電話尚未普及的年代,報紙是資訊交流的重要渠道,同時承載著尋回失散親人的希望與可能🙏🏻。在1951年,正因本局職員留意到報紙上的尋人啟事,遂成功安排留局女童與家人團聚。

當年一名八歲女童不慎走失,父親除了報案,亦於報紙刊登廣告。尋得女童下落者可獲得港幣200元的酬金,相當於一位教員兩個月的薪金,以吸引大眾關注💡。可惜,一直音訊全無。

直至保良局管事偶然留意到此尋人啟事,發現相中人與一名留局女童外貌相似🧐。經確認後馬上告知當年總理,由總理和華民司署跟進,即時與女童家屬聯絡,迅速處理。翌日,女童的家人便趕到局中相認,並於數日後辦妥手續領回女童。離局前,他們更與主席及總理合照呢!📸

據悉該名女童流浪街頭被警方尋獲後,疑因發音不清使警員誤聽其姓名,輾轉把她送到保良局。幸得本局職員與留局兒童熟稔,促成了骨肉重逢的契機🥰。保良局住宿服務已有過百年歷史,至今仍悉心照料有需要的兒童,延續這份關愛的心。

【 │A Heartwarming Reunion of a Lost Girl📰】

Long before telephones were commonplace, newspapers served as a vital bridge for sharing information—and often a beacon of hope for families searching for missing loved ones🙏🏻. Back in 1951, a sharp-eyed Po Leung K*k staff member spotted a missing-person notice in the newspaper, leading to a heartwarming reunion between a young resident and her family.

The story began when an eight-year-old girl went missing. In addition to filing a police report, her father placed a newspaper advertisement offering a HK$200 reward—the equivalent of two months' salary for a teacher at the time—hoping to draw the public's attention💡. Sadly, days passed without a word.

That was until a Po Leung K*k steward happened to notice the advertisement and realized the girl in the photo bore a striking resemblance to a child under their care🧐. Once confirmed, the staff immediately alerted a K*k Director, who coordinated swiftly with the Secretary for Chinese Affairs to reach the family. The very next day, the girl’s family rushed to the K*k for an emotional reunion, completing all the necessary paperwork within days to take her home. Before departing, the family even posed for a commemorative photo with the then-Chairman and Director! 📸

It turned out that when police found the girl wandering the streets, her mispronounced name led to a mix-up, and she was subsequently placed in Po Leung K*k’s care. Fortunately, because our staff knew the children so well, this heartfelt reunion was made possible🥰. With a history of over a century, Po Leung K*k’s residential child care services continue to nurture and protect vulnerable children in need with the very same dedication and love.

【保良局平民夜校📚:50年代的一元堂費】

不經不覺暑假已過了一半,不少家庭正忙於為子女準備新學年。然而,在普及教育尚未實施的1950年代,這正是失學兒童爭取入讀保良局平民夜校的關鍵時刻⏰。

當時保良局平民夜校的學位供不應求,總理們於1954年加設四班「下午特別班」,由總理聯誼會以每月港幣100元借用校舍,於下午4時半至6時半上課。

通過家庭審查及入學試之學生,經取錄後學費全免,每月僅收港幣1元作堂費,成績前三名更可獲豁免!🌟與當年一名學校教員每月工資港幣80元相比,此收費相對較低;其餘教學經費則靠教育司津貼及歷屆總理慷慨捐助。

由於報名超額逾倍,總理們議決加開一年級一班。1954年9月開學時合共收容了逾170名學童,翌年春季更擴展至六班共182人。🎒時至今日,本局教育服務已擴展至中學及大專院校,為莘莘學子提供良好的升學階梯,培育社會棟樑。

【Po Leung K*k Evening School📚: HK$1 Class Fee in the 1950s】

As the summer break passes the halfway mark, families are busy preparing for the new school year. But back in the 1950s— before universal free education was established—this was a critical time for out-of-school children applying to Po Leung K*k Evening School⏰.

Back in the day, demand for spots at Po Leung K*k Evening School far exceeded supply. To help out, the Directors added four "Special Afternoon Classes" in 1954. The PLK Committee Fellowship Association paid HK$100 a month for using the school premises, holding classes from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

Kids who passed the family background check and entrance exam received full tuition waivers, paying just HK$1 a month for the class fee—and the top three students in each grade even had that waived! 🌟Compared with the monthly salary of HK$80 for a school teacher at that time, the fee was relatively low. The rest of the running costs were funded by subsidies from the then Director of Education and Board members.

Receiving more than double the quota, the Directors decided to add an extra Primary 1 class. In September 1954, over 170 children were enrolled. By the following spring, it expanded to six classes with 182 students! 🎒Today, Po Leung K*k’s educational services have expanded to secondary schools and tertiary institutions, providing a well-structured academic pathway for students and nurturing future leaders of society.

【不止是社會賢達:保良總理背後的職責💼】

大家時常在公開場合及媒體報導見到保良局總理的身影,除了出席活動,他們背後肩負著什麼職責?1977年當屆主席莊榮坤先生曾以「保良局的總理」為題💬,分享擔任總理的條件與日常,讓我們一起了解這份使命!

據報道,總理的推舉並無明文規定,凡身家清白、品德高尚且熱心公益的人士,均有機會獲推舉為總理。除了具備這些條件,總理亦需出錢出力,投入資源服務社會💖。

上任後,總理需積極參與局務管治,包括加入工作小組籌劃活動、親身巡視屬校視察教學環境,以及接待外界友好團體、維繫合作關係🤝。此外,總理亦會參與迎月晚會,向局童贈送禮物🎁;在關帝誕參與祭祀儀式,祈求善業順利發展。

該報道亦提及,保良局總理平均每日需花一至兩小時處理局務。對需要兼顧本身事業的總理而言,這亦代表他們在日常工作以外,須恆常另撥時間及心力服務保良局。

從局務管治、巡視屬校,到接待友好團體及參與傳統活動,總理的職責涵蓋不同層面。歷屆總理始終秉持「保赤安良」的宗旨,投入寶貴的時間、心力及資源,推動局務發展。回顧歷史照片,更可見這份使命背後所承擔的責任與堅持💪!

【More Than Community Leaders: The Responsibilities Behind Serving as a Po Leung K*k Director 💼】

We often see Po Leung K*k Directors at public events and in the media. But beyond attending these occasions, what responsibilities do they actually take on? In 1977, Chairman Mr. Cheng Eng Kuan shared his insights on "The Directors of Po Leung K*k" 💬, discussing the qualifications and day-to-day work involved. Let’s take a closer look at this important role!

According to the news report, there were no formal requirements for becoming a Po Leung K*k Director. Anyone with a clean record, high moral character, and a genuine commitment to public service could be nominated. In addition to these qualities, Directors were expected to contribute both funds and effort, dedicating their personal resources and commitment to serving the community 💖.

Once in office, Directors were actively involved in the governance and management of the K*k. Their duties included joining committees to plan activities, visiting affiliated schools to inspect the learning environment, and receiving visiting organizations to maintain collaborative relationships 🤝. They also took part in traditional events, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration to present gifts to the children 🎁, or the Kwan Ti Festival to pay their respects and pray for the successful development of the K*k's charitable work.

The report also mentioned that, on average, Po Leung K*k Directors spent one to two hours handling K*k affairs every day. For Directors who also managed their own businesses, this meant regularly setting aside additional time and effort beyond their daily professional lives to serve the organization.

From management and governance to school visits, community partnerships, and traditional ceremonies, the role of a Director covers many different areas. Guided by the spirit of "protecting the young and innocent," our Directors have devoted their time, energy, and resources to advancing Po Leung K*k's work. Looking back at these historical photographs, we can truly see the sense of responsibility and dedication behind this important role 💪!

【 #保良點滴:風雨中的賣花籌款】

每支小旗貼,承載著一段跨越半世紀的溫暖回憶。💞

下星期三(7月22日)是保良局賣旗日,而這項善舉的前身,其實是老一輩香港人記憶中的「賣花籌款」。趁著賣旗日前夕,我們一同回顧1953年那場無懼風雨、暖人心扉的賣花點滴。⏳

1953年9月26日,超過3,000名學生自清晨起便前往港九各區,為保良局賣花籌款。他們一直努力至下午6時,才陸續返回銅鑼灣總局,將盛載善款的錢箱交予職員點算。

儘管當日風雨交加🌧️,但惡劣天氣無阻學生們賣花籌款的熱誠,最終為保良局籌得逾12萬元善款,成績非常可觀。

除了學生積極投入慈善活動,當屆總理亦盡心盡力支援。當日上午6時至下午5時,總理親自駕車穿梭港九各區巡視,為學生補給花朵,並安排接送有需要或已將花朵售罄的學生返回總局;午間更準備茶點招待學生。

當年活動亦設有學校組及個人組籌款比賽,籌款成績最優異的100名學生,更可獲總理致送獎品,以表嘉許。🏆

這份關懷社群、匯聚善緣的精神,一直傳承至今。下星期三,如你在街上遇見保良局的賣旗義工,歡迎踴躍支持。所籌得的善款將全數用於保良局多元化社會服務,持續為弱勢社群提供適切支援。💞

【 : Flower Day Fundraising Through the Storm】

Each little flag sticker carries a warm memory spanning more than half a century. 💞

Next Wednesday (July 22) is Po Leung K*k Flag Day. Before the familiar flag stickers of today, this act of kindness took the form of Flower Day—a cherished memory for many from older generations of Hong Kong. With Flag Day just around the corner, let us look back on a heartwarming fundraising effort from 1953, when students braved the wind and rain for our cause. ⏳

On September 26, 1953, more than 3,000 students set out at daybreak for districts across Hong Kong Island and Kowloon to participate in Flower Day for Po Leung K*k. They worked tirelessly until 6:00 pm, before gradually returning to the Causeway Bay headquarters to hand their donation boxes to staff for counting.

Despite the stormy weather 🌧️, the students’ dedication to the fundraising remained undiminished. In the end, they raised more than HK$120,000 for Po Leung K*k—an impressive achievement.

The students were not alone in their charitable efforts. The Directors of the time also offered wholehearted support. From 6:00 am to 5:00 pm, they personally drove across Hong Kong Island and Kowloon to visit the students, replenish their paper flowers, and arrange transport back to the K*k Headquarters for those in need or those who had sold all their flowers. Refreshments were also prepared for the students at lunchtime.

The event also featured fundraising competitions in both school and individual categories. The 100 students with the best fundraising results received prizes presented by the Directors in recognition of their efforts. 🏆

This spirit of caring for the community and converging benevolence has been passed down to the present day. Next Wednesday, if you see Po Leung K*k flag-selling volunteers on the streets, we warmly invite you to show your support. All funds raised will be used for Po Leung K*k’s diverse social services, providing continued and meaningful support for people in need. 💞

【 #保良掌故:收留雨災四名孤兒🌧️】

每逢雨季,香港不時受暴雨影響🌧️。今日,暴雨警告系統及防洪排水設施已大幅減低暴雨帶來的風險;然而,在1950年代,相關預警機制及防洪設施尚未完善,連場豪雨及山洪足以沖毀家園,甚至奪去生命。

1958年夏天,香港仔田灣村木屋區遭遇連日豪雨,引發山洪暴發。洪水沖毀木屋,更將一對夫婦及其飼養的豬隻沖出海面。夫婦二人最終不幸遇難,留下四名年齡介乎兩歲至十一歲的子女,由社會福利署安排送往保良局暫住。

留局期間,保良局秉持教養兼施的理念,按四兄妹的年齡分別安排入讀嬰兒園、幼稚園及小學,悉心照顧其起居生活,同時兼顧學業✏️。一年後,四兄妹的叔父獲高等法院批准成為監護人,親自接他們返回福建與祖父團聚,重新展開生活。

當年的事件不僅反映暴雨季節為木屋區居民帶來的衝擊,也留下保良局接收及照顧失依兒童的歷史紀錄,見證本局多年來為有需要婦孺提供庇護與照顧的工作,陪伴大家度過艱難時刻🤝🏻。

【 : Sheltering Four Orphans After a Rainstorm🌨】

Hong Kong experiences heavy rain during the rainy season every year 🌧️. Today, the city's rainstorm warning system and flood prevention infrastructure have greatly reduced the risks posed by severe weather. In the 1950s, however, early warning systems and flood control measures were far less developed, and days of torrential rain could destroy homes and even claim lives.

In the summer of 1958, after days of relentless rainfall, a flash flood struck the squatter area of Tin Wan Village in Aberdeen. The flood swept away homes and even carried a couple and the pigs they were raising out to sea. Tragically, both parents lost their lives, leaving behind four children aged between two and eleven. The Social Welfare Department subsequently arranged for the siblings to stay temporarily at Po Leung K*k.

During their stay, Po Leung K*k upheld its long-standing practice of combining care with education. The four siblings were enrolled in our nursery, kindergarten and primary school according to their ages, where they received daily care while continuing their education ✏️. A year later, their uncle was appointed their legal guardian by the High Court and personally took them back to Fujian to reunite with their grandfather and begin a new chapter in life.

This episode not only reflects the devastating impact that heavy rain once had on residents of Hong Kong's squatter settlements, but also forms part of Po Leung K*k's history of providing shelter and care for children left without family support. It stands as a testament to the K*k's long-standing commitment to providing protection and care for those in need 🤝🏻.
