SCMP Reporter

Yu Miu-ting

Age: 18

No, because I don't know how. I  know very little about charity organisations and what they do. The only charities I have heard about is Po Leung Kuk, which helps orphans, and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.  People donate money because they want to help others, but I have never really thought about it. I don't know why.  But I think it's good to make donations because they help the needy.

Hui Hin-kam

Age: 15

No, and there is no particular reason for it.  I know there are charities like Po Leung Kuk and Community Chest. I have no comment as to whether Hong Kong people should donate money to charity because I don't know much about these organisations. I have never been involved in voluntary activities. It is up to individuals to decide what they want to do with their money.

Chan Yu-han

Age: 15

No, I've never  donated money to charity, but I have volunteered to sell flags during my spare time.  This is one way I can help underprivileged people.  I am familiar with only two charities in Hong Kong - Po Leung Kuk and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.  I think that Hong Kong people should donate more money to charity because it can help children and others who are less fortunate than us.

Lau Kwan-yin

Age: 16

Yes, I've donated money to Orbis (the charity which helps visually impaired people around the world).  I am only familiar with major charities, like the Community Chest. Since we have a high income, we should give something  to the poor countries. I think Hong Kong people are very generous when it comes to charity. They donated millions of dollars for the Asian tsunami victims.

On Siu-kuen

Age: 19

Yes, sometimes. I usually make a donation to a fund-raising activity on the street. I only know a few charity organisations, such as the Lion's Club, Orbis, the Caritas Group and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. I think Hong Kong people should donate money to charity because it can make them feel better. I believe Hongkongers  are more generous than people in other countries.



Have you ever donated to charity?
