Love @ Po Leung Kuk

患有腦退化症的長者，若然給他選擇，最後一點記憶留給誰，大概每個人也會留給相依大半生的另一半。   馮伯伯也不例外，80多歲的他患有腦退化症，記憶日漸褪色的他，唯有太太馮婆婆是他腦海最亮麗的色彩。馮婆婆每日到院舍探望，馮伯伯吃飯也會吃得更好，有一次馮婆婆感冒來不了安養院，馮伯伯就不斷地嚷著：｢老婆呢？老婆呢？打電話俾我老婆啦！｣   因著這份牽掛，也因著對丈夫的愛，馮婆婆風雨不改，每天也來到安養院，為伯伯預備水果，然後一口又一口的餵到伯伯咀裡。同樣的動作，每天重複，大概這就是細水長流。   60年前的那個月圓，他們相識。結婚那天攝影師的出錯，所有婚照都沒了，當天的遺憾，成為了兩人今天回想時的笑話。在馮太心目中，照片已不重要，回憶已牢牢刻在腦裡，她最緊張的，是馮伯伯的身體，每當她聽到護理員跟她說： ｢醒常今日好叻呀，全份午餐都食晒！｣她就會眉開眼笑：｢好呀好呀，亞婆開心晒。｣   問馮婆婆最開心的事，她重複的說：「感謝保良局的悉心照顧，讓他入住後可以移走胃喉，可以吃飯。」馮婆婆最記掛的，是想馮伯伯吃得好。   這對可愛的老夫妻，讓小編見證什麼是細水長流，什麼是承諾。婚照沒了，當天那「無論疾病、貧苦‧‧‧‧‧‧」的結婚誓言，今天仍然持守著。   祝福馮伯伯及馮婆婆，人月兩團圓，繼續美滿幸福，吃得好，生活安好。   鳴謝：保良局黃竹坑安養院

因新型冠狀病毒疫情出現，影響整個社會及多個行業，作為家中經濟支柱的丈夫至今也只當過兩、三天散工，經濟負擔一下子變得沉重。面對收入驟減、前景不明，琪琪媽媽承受著生活上，以至情緒上的無比壓力。   琪琪媽媽比想像中堅強，她明白身為兩個女兒眼中的榜樣，要勇敢地守住這頭家，不讓情緒影響女兒開心的童年。   女兒琪琪就讀保良局幼稚園暨幼兒園幼兒班，去年疫情嚴峻，曾多次停課數月，長時間留在家中，琪琪媽媽要花更多時間照顧女兒、投注更多心力。例如女兒沒有上學，要額外準備平時由學校提供的奶粉、午餐等；丈夫沒工開閒待家中，沒有收入亦令婆媳關係惡化。生活上所有事情變得方寸大亂，使她很迷網，甚至手足無措。   「好感恩，好像伸手扶了我一把。」琪琪媽媽多謝保良局對她的支援，送上食物及營養包，補足小朋友基本營養需要；停課期間，老師每星期都會致電關心她們的近況，甚至提出可以把孩子送回學校暫託等支援。   保良局邀請您在這關鍵時刻伸出援手，支持保良局「關愛無限 ‧ 共跨逆境」扶弱計劃，為受影響的基層家庭，尤其是小朋友送上及時雨。   捐款支持

Yu Tin Ching (Ching) has resided in Po Leung Kuk’s dormitory (also known as “the House”) since 2 years-old. The shy little boy would only sit quietly aside in the beginning, even the in-house staff could hardly notice him. Fortunately, he got his chance to shine on stage. Whenever Ching danced, the invisible boy stole the limelight and became the “dancing king” among the children in the House.     Ching loves dancing since he was small. He originally taught himself by watching online dance tutorials. However, it is difficult to master the basic skills or make further progress through self-study. Luckily, Ching met with another dancing enthusiast, Ms. Cheung, in Primary 4. Ms. Cheung discovered the talents of Ching, she initiated him into dance trainings and practices, as well as arranged him to participate in various stage performances of the Kuk, such as the Child Sponsors’ Day, so as to build up his self-confidence gradually.     Ching dreams of becoming a professional dancer. He hopes to learn more dancing techniques from dance schools, but stepping out from the comfort zone of the House and the expensive tuition fee made him feel confused about his future. “Do you really want to be a Dancer?” Ms. Cheung reassured Ching and let him finally made up his mind.    Later with the help of Ms. Cheung and social workers, Ching received financial assistance from “Angels for Orphans” programme of Po Leung Kuk, and started learning jazz dance and street dance at professional dance schools. At the last Child’s Sponsor Day of this 18-year-old boy, Ching decided to express his gratitude to the Sponsors by delivering his best dancing performance before leaving the House.    After DSE, Ching targets to enter The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts to further develop in dance studies and achieve his dream as a dancer, “I wish that one day, I can come back to the House as dance tutor, and contribute to the Child Sponsor’s Day.”
