Have you ever thought of the importance of appearance? I remember the bible story of a man who was possessed by devils at Gadarenes. He had a messy appearance and did not wear clothes. He was controlled by the devils and Jesus saved him. This makes me think that an energetic and tidy appearance is very important. In fact, if a person has a refreshing face, this will give others the impression of vitality, good health and a younger appearance, and also enable the person to be more enthusiastic about life. If a person is poor, physically weak and unable to go to have a haircut, he may lose motivation in life and ignore his appearance. His appearance would be messy and would look older than his actual age. Our poor friends living alone in miserable conditions may lose interest in life. In extreme circumstances, they may even commit suicide. The Hong Kong Association of Hair Design gave our friends a helping hand at our centre on July 19. They used their hair cutting skill to improve our friends appearance. Our friends looked younger after the haircut. They regained their self-confidence and self-dignity. All the gloominess in life seems to have gone after the haircut. A team of 8 volunteers spent about two hours to help 38 friends to renew their passion for life. Because of poverty, our friends cannot afford to have a haircut. After the haircut, all of our friends had a big smile on their faces and regained life motivation. If you had the tools, skill and experience of doing haircut, and do not want our friends to lose self-dignity due to messy hair, please contact our centre directly. Meanwhile, there is a group of helpless friends here waiting for your help! Hair stylist and our friend. Our friend had a big smile on her face after haircut.

4 大家好, 我是李嘉兒今年在香港教育學院就讀一年級, 主修小學常識科不經不覺在聖巴拿巴會之家當義工的日子已有三個多月了! 回想起第一次當義工的服務內容便是外展探訪, 便倍感壓力因為我從來沒有當義工的經驗, 加上對露宿者和住在板間房的居民的認知亦不多, 故對外展探訪這種面對面的直接探訪形式深感不安然而, 所探訪的露宿者和低下階層人士對我們十分友善雖然大家只是第一次見面, 但他們亦會與我們閒聊, 令我們不會出現尷尬的場面經過這幾個月以來數次的外展探訪, 我有了不少的體會從前我總會凡事怨天尤人, 如不滿意狹隘的居住環境碰上不愛的餸菜便不吃, 有時更會吃剩很多飯餸然而, 香港有很多低下階層的市民並無安逸的居所, 一家多口只能擠在五 + 尺的板間房中, 更甚者因未能承擔昂貴的租金而露宿街頭, 成為露宿者人, 凡事應心存感恩之心, 要知道一事一物均得來不易, 要學懂珍惜和知足, 方可獲得心靈上和物質上的滿足同時, 身為社會一份子的我們, 應盡力留意和關心社會時事, 向身邊的人伸出援手大家好, 我是鍾芷欣因為參加了學校 ( 香港教育學院 ) 所推行的服務考察交流團, 令我有一個機會主動去認識聖巴拿巴會之家我曾經都有當義工的機會, 但是在聖巴拿巴會之家的經歷卻與我從前所嘗試的不同, 我在聖巴拿當義工都接近 3 個月了, 其中參與的有長者小組, 外展探訪, 星期六日的飯餐活動等等, 透過眾多的活動中, 我加深了對基層人士的了解在長者小組中, 每一個星期都會與婆婆們接觸, 向他們講解一些社會上的知識, 和跟他們談談天等最初其實有點害怕要面對不熟悉的婆婆們, 幸好他們都非常的熱情, 又很歡迎我們的前來, 每次我們進行活動的時候都專心地聆聽和主動的發問, 大家在過程中都有講有笑, 我感到在長者小組中時間過得特別快透過這個小組, 我明白到長者們不需要什麼物質上的大享受, 而是心靈上的慰問, 獨居長者長時間一個人待在家中, 其實只要有心人上前關懷愛護她們多些, 她們便會很快樂, 會知道自己的存在價值另外, 在聖巴拿巴會之家所參與的外展探訪是我感到最深刻的部分, 還記起第一次出外探訪的情況, 我們探訪了天橋下的露宿者, 當時是下著微雨的, 而露宿者是睡在數張薄薄的垃圾膠袋上, 位置仍是濕濕的我真的第一次看到這類的情況, 我不太相信香港這個繁榮的地方, 在某街角會有那不起眼的一群, 過著那悽慘的生活我明白到不是所有的露宿者都是自步自棄的, 他們有的仍想找尋工作, 奈何是社會的資源不足每次外展完結, 心情是沉重的如果我們有能力, 不妨多些關心社會上弱勢的一群, 向他們施於援手我都非常感謝聖巴拿給予了我一個難忘的體驗鍾芷欣和李嘉兒 ( 注意 : 上述表達的意見乃筆者的個人意見而非本會意見 )

5 Hello! I am Chung Tsz Yan. Hello! I am Lee Ka Yee. I am studying year one at Hong Kong Institute of Education, majoring in General Studies of Primary Schools. I have served at St. Barnabas Society and Home for three months. I remember the first time of my service was outreach visit. I had a lot of pressure as I was inexperienced and had little understanding of the poor living in wood partitioned rooms. I worried about how to handle the face-to-face contacts with them. However, streetsleepers and residents in wood partitioned rooms were very nice. Although this was my first encounter, they chatted with me happily and not letting me feel embarrassed. I had learnt a lot from the outreach visits during these few months. In the past, I had a lot of complaints. For example, I would complain about the overcrowded living environment. I would refuse to eat food that I did not like. I would also have a lot of leftover food. However, after the visits, I realized that there were a lot of low income people with poor living conditions. Many families with a no. of members living in a fifty square feet wood partitioned room. The worst case would be those who could not afford high rent finally ending up sleeping on the street. Therefore, we should have a thankful heart towards everything. We should learn to treasure everything and be content. Then we would be satisfied with what we have materially and spiritually. Being a member of the society, we should try our best to show more concerns towards social issues and give a helping hand to those in need. (Note: the views expressed above are only those of the above writers, and not our views.) Due to participating in the service exchange group of our school (Hong Kong Institute of Education), I have a chance to understand St. Barnabas Society and Home. I had previous experience as a volunteer but my experience at St. Barnabas Society and Home is different. I worked as a volunteer of St. Barnabas Society and Home for three months. I helped the elderly group, outreach visits and the activities before Saturday dinners. Through all these activities, I had a better understanding of the poor people. In the elderly group, I contacted the elderly every week. I introduced them social issues and chatted with them. At the beginning, I was afraid of facing the unfamiliar faces but as they were very enthusiastic and welcome us warmly, I felt time flied when they listened to us intensively. They always took initiatives to raise questions. We laughed and talked. Through the small group activities, I understand that the elderly need other people s care and concern rather than material enjoyment. Those elderly living alone would feel very happy if someone shows them some love and care, and they would know their value of existence. Besides, I was very impressed by the outreach visits. I remember the first time I visited a streesleeper under a flyover. It was a rainy day and the streetsleeper slept on some thin plastic bags. The area where he slept was wet. This was the first time I came across such scene. I cannot believe that in a prosperous place like Hong Kong, there are still people leading such miserable lives in some obscure corners. I understand that not all streetsleepers have given themselves up. Some of them still look for a job. It is unfortunate that there are limited resources in the society. At the end of every outreach visit, I always had a heavy heart. If we can afford, we should show concern for the underprivileged group and give them a helping hand. I am grateful to St. Barnabas for giving me such an unforgettable experience.
