Scott Jackson, principal of Kingston International School, decided that his students, who come from fairly privileged backgrounds, would find fund-raising too easy if they just handed over money or got their parents to write a cheque. The school was raising money for Christian Action, one of this year's 27 beneficiaries of Operation Santa Claus, which is co-organised by the South China Morning Post and RTHK. Christian Action helps a lot of young people retrain for new jobs. It assists domestic helpers who have problems with their employers. It also helps displaced people who flee from their homes in different parts of Asia and war-torn areas of Africa and come to Hong Kong in search of a better life. Often these people arrive with nothing. Christian Action is one organisation provides them with food and clothes. At Kingston International School, Mr Jackson challenged four students to collect goods from 170 families. 'We wanted to find an organisation that [needed] essential items rather than money. These kids are used to handing money over. This made it more meaningful. They had to think about the essential items that people need when they first come to Hong Kong,' said Mr Jackson. Sharmila Gurung, who oversees a centre for displaced people in Chungking Mansions, said, 'This contribution means a lot to our children who are in need of basic necessities. We are very happy that schools are contributing. It's children helping children who are in need.' While this is the last report on Operation Santa Claus in the Sunday Young Post, you can still donate to the campaign until the end of the month. Thanks to all those schools and students who have contributed this year, helping 27 charities help others.
