A Message from the General Secretary

In mid-January 2014, the Center for Civil Society Studies of Peking University announced Top Ten Events in Social Sectors in 2013, among which were direct registration of four types of NGOs as a result of reforming the dual management system, population policy shift from quantity control to structure optimization remarked by the adoption of two-child fertility policy for couples where either the husband or the wife is from a single child family, citizens’ actions urging the government to share the responsibility to address the haze-highlighted environmental problems, Rule of Law in China as a resolution of the 3rd Plenary Session of 18th CPC Central Committee accompanied by a nationwide debate on political and legal basis for China Dream, and smoother cooperation between NGOs and the government occurring during Ya'an earthquake where the emergency response mechanism for disaster relief was challenged.

Reading through the Top Ten Events, we find that more and more public voices were heard and taken seriously and eventually became driving forces to social development.

We are lucky to enter a great era of novelty, openness and progresses.

In such a great era, we should recognize changes timely, identify needs precisely, and face difficulties unhesitatingly. Moreover, we should be fearless to try, innovate, practice and implement.

In 2013, the Amity Foundation faced challenges squarely. In response to Ya’an

Zhi Li, “Striving to Stand”

Zhi Li, a 19 years old boy, is considered as a “big brother” amongst our Family Retreat participants.

Journey to Intimacy

Family, the smallest unit of society, is also considered as the most basic element for social harmony. A Christian family is the witness of Christian’s Faith in the Lord.

A local system of HIV/AIDS prevention and control was built up through community-based integrated approaches. Based on the latest HIV/AIDS epidemic trend, HIV/AIDS prevention actions were initiated for high-risk populations.

2. Community Development and Environmental Protection

New strategies for community development projects in rural and urban communities were launched in 2013. More efforts for rural integrated development projects were focused on community- based capacity building, as well A learning visit organized by the Women’s Association of the village as organizational and cultural development. The project coverage was further expanded to urban communities with a focus on migrant workers and disadvantaged urban population.

One of the most notable achievements of environmental protection projects in 2013 is local resource development. To this traditionally oversea- resource-dominated category, a breakthrough was made. A new local resource development mode was established. To meet the demands of local resources, we made a significant project innovation, portable biogas tank.

I. Project Stories

A Walking Hero

In the summer 2013, Daozhen County became our target area. We surprisingly found a detailed record in the documents from Daozhen, including life stories and contact information of 130 orphans.

It was An Jianhong, a 38-year- old local man of Gelao ethnic minority, who wrote this record. His left hand became handicapped because of a big fire. Graduated from Guizhou University in Orphans with pride for their excellent school performance 1997, Jianhong came back to his hometown. He had a simple dream: leading people here to a richer life. he walked for that record: 2,600 Then he became an official of local km in total! Every time after long government. distance walking, Jianhong asked for orphan’s information patiently. We met Jianhong in Daozhen in 2013.

II. Program Overview

The Education & Orphan Fostering Program aims to help children in need, by enabling them access to helping resources. The program covers financial support to poor students, orphan fostering and school rebuilding.

In 2013, we provided foster care to 6,920 orphans, rebuilt 16 schools, financially supported 2,020 poor students, and offered 4,130 sets of desks and chairs to schools in rural and mountain areas in China. In addition, we donated books to schools and collected donations on line to cover medical costs for 5 children. The program directly benefited 13,682 people, with 45,116 potential beneficiaries. New desks and chairs were needed

III. Innovative Efforts

Project Innovation

In 2013, according to our partners’ suggestions and the principle of “Be convenient, professional and high-efficient”, some adjustments to our projects were made. Firstly, feedback materials were redesigned to work in with the Harmony in Neighborhood Action, in respond to the project goal of “happily receiving aids without stress”. Secondly, feedback materials became more diversified and closer to target children’s daily life (i.e. writing assignments, test papers).

We proposed that a social workers Students with new desks and chairs system and training programs should be developed in target schools. By taking specialized courses (i.e. child psychology, social work methodology, training trainer), teachers in rural schools could assume the role of social workers and offer professional services for better development of target children (i.e. orphans and left-behind children).

Based on the basic demand survey on target schools that had been rebuilt, two more special surveys for the Rural Schools Rebuilding Project were conducted in 2013.

I. Project Story

Small idea, big dream

The development of a philanthropy course may be derived from a simple wish or a pure loving heart. However, such a tiny wish or loving heart is so precious that it needs to be supported and recognized. In 2012, Mr. ZHU Guangjun, a teacher with a leg disability, came to Amity NGO Development Center and henceforth his pioneering work of helping the people with disability started. His work originated from the tiny idea that people with Members of Jiuzhou Culture and Art Center for People with Disabilities, one of the grassroots disability could learn art and have NGOs receiving training at Amity NGO Development Center, dancing with British dancers. fun. In the beginning, it was not certain if an organization could improve self-confidence. In 2013, the ceramic restoration business be established on such a tiny idea.

Action e 10000 - Rural Orphan Fostering Project

The number of orphans sponsored by Hong Kong people last year rose moderately to 112. The assistance ensured that these children are properly fed, clothed and provided with school fees, stationery and medical expenses.

In recognition of their psychological needs, a summer camp was organised in Yongshun County, Hunan , as one of the many activities undertaken by Amity for this purpose. Based on a format successfully piloted the year before, we brought 51 young volunteers from Hong Kong to run a summer camp for 80 orphans in the local area. Additionally, members from our local partners and teachers supporting this project made up a total of over 200 participants. They spent 3 productive days in personal development and group counselling activities. The feedback was most positive, evincing the effectiveness of the sessions. Home visits were organised after the camp, which turned out to be heart-warming moments when the Hong Kong volunteers were quite touched and learnt more about the hardships these children had to face day after day.

At the requests of donors, we also organised two special visits, one in April to Henan and one in December to Sichuan. The face-to-face encounters had left both parties with indelible memories further enhancing the donors’ commitment to this cause. HK young volunteers visiting orphans at home, Yongshun County, Hunan
