全香港有超過二十萬人,包括四萬個小孩住在「劏房」。「劏房」,又叫棺材房,亦包含籠屋、鐵皮屋及寮屋等等。這些不人道的居住環境剝奪了一個人的基本尊嚴並且帶走了每個人的心理健康。

以下的圖片是一個八人家庭包括小孩及長者,居住在一個只有百多呎的地方,分享一張碌架床。有很多年青的女孩,甚至乎青少年都在這種環境下生活。他們會跟其他房間的伙戶共用洗手間及浴室。這樣一來既沒私隱,更不提及安全問題。在疫情期間,住在這些狹迫密集環境的這群人就擋在風險的最前面。

EVO 153 是一個由四人組成的自發義工團隊,我們即將會舉辦一個活動叫做《遊走大西北》。我們四人以及幾個自薦的朋友會分段走畢全程28公里。地圖說需時大約七小時但是經過小休,走錯路,以及行到一半開始慢的情況底下,我們預計大約13小時內完成全程 😂。

這個活動的主要目的是為了提升大眾對新界大西北區劏房戶的關注。這是一個慈善籌款活動,我們邀請了環球前景慈善基金會來為我們將籌得的善款及購買到的物資送派給有需要的人。❤️

希望大家踴躍援助,就算是一個午飯的成本也無拘。“聚沙成塔,集腋成裘”!

遊走路線:以葵涌作起點、 途經荃灣、屯門及洪水橋、並以天水圍為終點

Over 200,000 people including 40,000+ children are living in the so called ‘sub-divided rooms’ of Hong Kong. These rooms have been described with many names: coffin cubicles, caged homes, but none of the names paint a pretty picture. I boarded in one such room when I used to work at a famous fine dining venue. I earned a reasonable income, considering it was unskilled labour. But despite the terrible conditions board still cost half my monthly pay. 15 years on and I am lucky enough to have improved my living situation, but many still call these horrible rooms ‘home’.


These inhumane dwelling situations strips away a person’s basic dignity and takes away the health in anyone’s mind. Pictured below is a family of 8 including kids and elderly, staying in a room that can easily be smaller than your bathroom. Many of the young girls or even teenagers who live in those housing will be sharing shower and toilet with other people in flat (I mean many more people than the family members, several families using the same bathroom). That’s not private, and not necessary safe. At the time of the pandemic, those who live in such densely dwelling are the most vulnerable and with no other options than being at risk.

I’m organizing a ‘NorthWest Walk’ event, walking from Kwai Chung to Tin Shui Wai, Hong Kong. Total length 28km (17.5miles). The map shows it’s around 7 hrs, not including breaks, or wrong turns, I would expect 10-12 hrs in total being realistic. I will be joined by various ladies from my team during some parts of the walk.

This event aims to raise awareness for the residential cubicles and cage rooms in the NorthWest districts. We have invited the Next Step Global Charity Foundation (nsg.fund – I know… it’s only in Chinese at the moment) to work with us and deliver the resources to the people in need.

I am urging everyone I know to share what is the cost of 2 drinks or a meal out with friends 💞, it's the little things we do that will make a big difference!


Route: Kwai Chung -> Tuen Mun -> Hau Shui Kiu -> Tin Shui Wai

Sad day for the girl!

I am terribly sorry to tell you all this. So I've been doing some light training recently and tried to step up a little for the event. I’ve ended up hurting myself. I thought it wouldn't have any effect on the event at first but unfortunately, this isn't the case.. . . . .
