Ethnic Minorities in Subdivided flats
關注劏房少數族裔住戶

Hong Kong Unison's online Chinese enhancement class is in full swing. Children enjoy the classes immensely. A parent told us that the school teacher was pleasantly suprised to see the improvement in the child's Chinese proficiency after joining our class. Previously the child was not interested in Cantonese and mainly use English to communicate. The willingness to speak more Cantonese and trying to use it more in school has helped the child to adjust well at school too. The monthly test shows a vast improvement in the performance of all students.

There is considerable progress in tutees of the One-to-one online Chinese Tutoring. Parents mentioned their children's score in the Chinese examination at school has improved. Unison monitors the classes regularly and provides helpful suggestions to the tutors.
 
融樂會網上中文班及補習班正持續進行，同學們樂在其中。一位家長更向我們提到，，就連學校都對中文班刮目相看。學校老師親眼見證著學生在加入中文班後的顯著成長：原本對中文興趣缺缺，日常在家僅依賴英文溝通，變得更樂意在學校使用中文、嘗試用廣東話溝通。學生的每月測驗成績，也用數字印證著他們的飛速成長。
此外， 一對一的中文網上補習班的同學也在步步爬升中。家長發現，自己的子女在學校中文測驗的表現有所改善。我們會持續監察課堂，並向老師提供有效的建議，改善課堂質素。

Virtual Educational Volunteering
虛擬教育義工服務

On 26 May Hong Kong Unison’s youth joined Virtual Educational Volunteering workshop organized by HandsOn HK, which is a part of Moody’s community engagement program. Soap Cycling was the NGO who were invited to share their work, operations model and impact. The youth and Moody’s team tried their hand at recycling soap. The soaps made by our youth will be distributed at an elderly home.

五月二十日，融樂會的獎學金得主參與了HandsOn HK 舉辦的虛擬教育義工服務工作坊，此工作坊為穆迪公司的社區參與計劃的一部分。是次活動邀請到非政府組織再皂福分享他們的工作、運作模式及影響。參與同學與穆迪代表都落手落腳體驗肥皂回收，製成品將會分發予老人院。

Primary One Allocation (POA) Results
小一入學派位結果

The results of Central Allocation (CA) for Primary One Allocation (POA) will be sent to parents via registered post on 2-3 June. Parents who have registered their mobile number will receive an SMS on 2 June. Ethnic minority parents are often confused of the procedures hence Hong Kong Unison conducted a parents group on 31 May to talk about procedure of registration, knock-door policy, and how to make a child’s portfolio and important dates. Unison staff is contacting parents who are awaiting results by phone and WhatsApp to provide support. Additionally we circulated a poster and info regarding POA results through various social media channels. 

小一統一派位結果已於六月二、三日陸續郵遞予家長。如果早前家長已登記電話號碼，則會在二號收到短訊通知。這些程序不時困擾少數族裔家長，因此，融樂會在五月三十一日舉辦了一個家長講座，說明登記程序、叩門政策、如何為子女設計簡歷及各個重要日子。融樂會同事現正透過電話、WhatsApp接觸等候結果的家長，向他們提供支援。除此以外，我們亦透過社交媒體廣傳與此相關的海報和各種資訊。

Thank you for the generous donation from Ocean Park Hong Kong. Hong Kong Unison received 200 free tickets and we distributed them to ethnic minority families. We hope the families had fun in Ocean Park and learned about Conservation Day and understand Hong Kong’s rich biodiversity, human connection to nature, and conservation awareness. 

感謝香港海洋公園慷慨捐贈，融樂會收到200張免費門票並已派發與54個少數族裔家庭。冀望他們在海洋公園保育日能認識本地豐富的生物多樣性、提高對自然與動物的關心及保育意識，還有盡興而歸。

Join us in welcoming our intern!
歡迎實習生

Charlotte has always been passionate about equality and human rights issues, such as gender and race equality, LGBTQ+ rights and believes in advocating for disenfranchised communities. After seeing the discrimination and prejudice ethnic minorities faced throughout the pandemic she decided to reach out to Unison to work with us and help in any way that she can. She has previously worked with schools in the UK with ethnic minority students by assisting with their education, and also tutored ethnic minority students in Hong Kong at community centers. She hopes to continue to utilize her privilege to bring about change and to support and empower ethnic minorities in Hong Kong.


Charlotte熱衷於平等、人權議題，如性別、種族平等、LGBTQ+ 權利等，願為這些受壓逼的群體發聲。疫症期間，Charlotte目睹少數族裔面臨著歧視與偏見後，決定接觸融樂會，參與我們的工作，為少數族裔議題出一分力。她曾在英國的學校與少數族裔學生合作，協助他們接受教育，亦曾在香港的社區中心為少數族裔學生補習。她希望親力帶來改變，支持和為香港的少數族裔充權。
