Christmas Giving Karma Yoga: School Shoes for Kids
Christmas Giving Karma Yoga: School Shoes for Kids
Christmas is here and would you believe that approximately 3000 Hong Kong children living in poverty have asked for nothing more than a pair of school shoes as a gift? This breaks our hearts that our community has to live like this. ☹️
YAMA Foundation has supported Society for Community Organisation (SoCO) since 2013, buying shoe vouchers for the children as a gift, so they can have the pleasure of selecting a brand new pair of shoes that they like for Christmas and be able to pay for it themselves.
If you would like to support our effort, please purchase a pair of shoes online. You will receive a sample voucher, but we will be taking each and every dollar to purchase as many shoes we can based on what we raise here.
Thanks so much for your support!
YAMA Foundation acts as an intermediary, collecting the funds for the shoes on behalf of SoCO, and then going out to purchase the shoe vouchers together with a SoCO representative. This is a simple act of kindness. If you choose to participate, please know that you are doing so at your own free will based on the information we have provided.
Cost of shoes: $249/pair (including 6% online processing fees). Any and all excess funds will go directly towards purchasing additional shoe vouchers.
You are free to donate directly to SoCO should you wish and not go via our organisation.
You will receive an email receipt from YAMA Foundation upon purchase via our website operator Squarespace. YAMA Foundation Ltd. is a registered charity with tax exemption under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (File No. 91/14823)
We will share an email with you to show you our progress and the actual delivery of the shoe vouchers to the kids. Due to Covid, YAMA representatives cannot go personally. But our trusted representative Ms. Sze Lai Shan from SoCO has ensured me she will do the needful and report back to us.
