It remains a challenging time for the Hong Kong community following the devastating fire in Tai Po’s Wang Fuk Court last week.

The outpouring of support as the city mourns the immense loss and witnesses the urgent needs of the displaced reflects the compassion of its people.

This list serves as a dual guide, detailing a few ways you can contribute to the long-term relief and rebuilding efforts for the victims, while also providing activities for families and friends across the city to de-stress and find glimpses of joy over the weekend.
