HONG KONG 10 July 2018 – A Hong Kong-based independent charitable organization helping vulnerable children and their migrant mothers—headed by Chief Executive Officer of PathFinders Hong Kong Kay McArdle and her team—met with the Philippine Consul General Antonio A. Morales and his team to explore ways to establish institutional linkages with Filipino non-profit groups to ensure the efficacy and reach of its humanitarian services, at a working luncheon hosted by PathFinders’ Board Member Lara Fabregas Lynch at the American Club in Exchange Square Two on 14 May 2018.
Carmen Lam, Co-Director of Services Director of Community Education and Outreach, briefed the Consulate about its work in helping over 4,800 of Hong Kong’s most vulnerable babies, children, and migrant women, some of whom were at risk of abuse, neglect and even human trafficking.
Social Welfare Attaché Elizabeth L. Dy provided a contact list of field directors in every provincial office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, who are working with local governments and non-profit organizations throughout the Philippines to extend assistance to the same demographic as PathFinders’ on a national scale.
