Hong Kong acupuncture team bringing pain relief to 10,000 sufferers in Southeast Asia’s remote communities
NGO Chinese Medicine for All is led by practitioner Dennis Au Cheuk-wing, who has been nominated for a Spirit of Hong Kong Award
For chronic pain sufferers in remote or underdeveloped parts of Southeast Asia, treatments such as acupuncture can be hard to come by.
The courses, provided by Chinese medicine practitioner Dennis Au Cheuk-wing and colleagues, are an integral part of their volunteer work with the charity.
The team believe the best way to help people is by giving them the tools to help themselves.
Au is one of the nominees in the Post’s Spirit of Hong Kong Awards this year. He has been put forward by The Light of Raphael, in the Community Contribution category, which honours groups or individuals who give back and help those less fortunate.
