街頭募捐要注意，一次性捐款隨時變被自動轉帳八千年！有捐款人欲一次過捐款兩百元予環保團體綠色和平，怎料銀行信件指他已授權每月自動捐款二千元，到期日更遠至九九九九年，捐款人稱當買個教訓，直言「信錯咗」。綠色和平澄清，月轉二千元及九九九九年是銀行默認的轉帳上限及捐款限期，並非實際轉帳數目，綠色和平正嘗試聯絡當事人解釋，未獲確認前不會轉帳取捐款。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20181202/00176_043.html

Hollywood actress Joanne Woodward and American singer Joan Baez together with a group of US citizens planned to charter a Hong Kong-based passenger or cargo ship to pluck refugees from the sea. The vessel would sail as close to Vietnamese territorial waters as legally possible and take refugees directly to San Francisco where they would be granted immediate landing rights. The chairman of the US Save the Boat People Committee, Michael Casey, said the move was a mercy mission to save as many lives as possible. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/3020063/accident-site-turns-picnic-spot-manhattan-and-dead-woman scmp remember a day on a 22jul1979 report

real estate project?
- 渦拉溪Wolli Creek is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The suburb was previously part of Arncliffe. Reuben Hannam was granted land in 1825 on the banks of Cooks river. Alexander Brodie Spark purchased land in 1826 and built Tempe house in 1836. It was named after 'Vale of Tempe', a beautiful valley in ancient Greek legend set at the foot of Mount Olympus. Tempe House, designed by John Verge, has a Georgian feel and is regarded as one of the great houses of Sydney.Philanthropist Caroline Chisholm leased Tempe House as a boarding school for young women (1863–1865). The estate was known as Greenbank during this time and presented an ideal location for Chisholm's work. She remarked on the spacious and lofty rooms and the 'fine large and open orchard of fruit trees, intersected by wide and shady walks'.In 1884 the estate was sold to the Sisters of the Good Samaritan for use as a charitable refuge for women. The Sisters added the impressive St Magdalen's Chapel (1888), which is believed to be the work of Sheerin & Hennessy, an important firm of Sydney architects, who designed the Archbishop's Residence and St Patrick's College at Manly. The neo-Gothic style Chapel is of major cultural significance. It is now deconsecrated and has been restored as part of the Discovery Point redevelopment. Tempe House is now listed on the Register of the National Estate.The area became predominantly industrial until a redevelopment was planned in the late 1990s. The new suburb was to be called North Arncliffe, but residents in the area petitioned the council to conduct a vote to select a better name. Wolli Creek was the most popular choice. Wolli Creek railway station opened in 2000.

- 上海市淮海中路1843號，是一幢典雅的紅瓦白牆花園別墅--這裏是中華人民共和國名譽主席宋慶齡先生故居。院子佔地4,800平方米，園內花繁葉茂、環境幽美。主樓為三層磚木結構歐式建築，室內陳設保持主人生前原貌，簡潔明快、並不奢華，一幅幅珍貴老照片和文物盡顯這位偉大女性的雍容華貴和高風亮節。1948至1963年，宋慶齡在此生活了15年，這裏是她最青睞、最溫馨、居住最久的「家」，也是她從事國務活動的重要場所之一。她在此會見過毛澤東、劉少奇、周恩來、鄧小平、朱德、陳毅等開國元勳，會晤宴請過來訪的外國貴賓，為促進中外友誼、維護世界和平作出特殊貢獻。她創建的新中國婦幼福利事業也在此啟航。1922年6月叛將陳炯明炮轟總統府，29歲宋慶齡逃難中不幸流產，從此不能生育。但膝下無子的她酷愛孩子，將滿腔母愛奉獻給婦幼事業。她最愛講「兒童是祖國的花朵、民族的未來」、「有些事可以等待，少年兒童的培養卻不可等待」，她成了千千萬萬中國孩子的「母親」。大革命時期，宋慶齡就對辛亥烈士遺孤關懷備至舐犢情深。抗戰爆發，她向世界呼籲「救救我們戰災兒童」，風塵僕僕多方奔走、收養難童。1938年6月，宋慶齡在香港成立「保衛中國同盟」，以各種渠道向內地受難兒童提供援助。她非常關心中共領導的解放區，衝破國民黨層層封鎖，想盡辦法為邊區兒童保育機構送去糧食、藥品、衣物，以獲得基本生存保障。由於她的巨大聲望，國際友人和華僑也向延安捐款捐物，延安洛杉磯保育院就撫育了一批抗戰將士的遺孤。1941年抗戰最艱困之際，日寇狂轟的陪都重慶滿目瘡痍、民不聊生，宋慶齡與宋靄齡、宋美齡三姐妹摒棄前嫌，攜手投身民族救亡運動。她們創辦了十幾所保育院、救濟院、兒散院，救助三萬多無家可歸的孩子，開展養、治、教服務，推行半軍事化管理。宋慶齡多次去看望孩子並鼓勵他們戰勝困難學會堅強。抗戰勝利後，宋慶齡將「保衛中國同盟」更名「中國福利基金會」。1948年重返上海的她見滿大街衣衫襤褸無依無靠的流浪兒，她急人所急在滬創辦3家兒童福利站，救助無家可歸的孤兒，受益孩子很快由幾十人增至三萬餘名。某日孫夫人觀看話劇後萌生創辦兒童劇團念頭，很快中國第一個兒童劇團在滬誕生。首場演出引起轟動，小朋友們看得如飢似渴，劇團先後創演了《表》、《小主人》、《小馬戲班》等兒童劇，反映貧苦孩子慘狀和舊社會黑暗，為祖國解放起到推波助瀾作用。為解決經費困難，她親自找到大畫家張樂平，請他舉辦「三毛原作畫展」，通過義賣籌措資金。開幕當日孫夫人親臨會場，還為外賓當起翻譯，使義賣大獲成功。新中國成立後，宋慶齡以更大熱情投身少年兒童福利事業，並實至名歸出任中國人民保衛兒童全國委員會主席，兌現她「與兒童結緣一生」諾言。她創辦了中國第一個婦幼保健院、第一座少年宮、第一個兒童藝術館、第一座兒童劇場、第一個兒童圖書館、新中國第一本兒童刊物......畢生低調的她常常自豪道：「我的一生同少兒工作聯在一起嘍！」1950年6月1日，是新中國第一個國際兒童節，宋慶齡給上海《解放日報》寫了「保護兒童的權利，是建立人民民主政權必要條件」題詞。1951年9月宋慶齡榮膺斯大林「國際和平獎」，此乃國人首次斬獲的國際榮譽，獎金10萬盧布。她毅然提筆在支票背面寫上「此款捐贈中國福利會用於兒童福利事業」，還創辦了國際婦幼保健院。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2020/07/21/b05-0721.pdf

- On 16 June 2011, the Law Reform Commission's Charities Sub-committee published a consultation paper proposing that a wide ranging regulatory regime for charities should be introduced in Hong Kong and that a charity commission should be set up as the regulatory body for charities. The paper points out that the need for greater monitoring of charitable organisations has been widely discussed by the community in recent years, and it has become a matter of major public interest that a system should be put in place to both regulate charities and enhance their transparency. At present, there is no comprehensive legal framework for regulating charities in Hong Kong. An entity recognised by the Inland Revenue Department as a charitable institution or trust of a public character is entitled to tax exemption, but there is limited statutory definition of what constitutes a "charity" and the department is not responsible for registering charities or for monitoring their conduct. There is also only limited oversight under the current system, and many charitable organisations are under no statutory requirement to submit annual reports or accounts.https://www.hkreform.gov.hk/en/publications/charities.htm
