Dear [FIRSTNAME],

In 2012, Mother’s Choice celebrated 25 years of caring for the HK community. We would not be where we are today without the support of the many volunteers over the years who have committed selflessly and tirelessly to champion our cause and walk alongside us. The road feels less lonely and hard with so many kindred spirits who want to love and care for the many babies, special needs children and young girls who need our services. We know that you are one of them, but that you have not yet had the opportunity to be actively involved. 

We have  been overwhelmed by very generous offers to volunteer time from all corners of the Hong Kong community, but we have not had the resources to manage the requests. My commitment to you is that we are proactively reviewing all aspects of our Volunteer Engagement Programme to ensure that it opens the door to many more volunteers like you who want to give back to the community through Mother’s Choice. We still need Hong Kong’s help – for every child we take in, we are forced to turn one away due to lack of funding.

So please bear with us as we review the existing structure and put some processes into place that will enable us to run our Volunteer Engagement Programme with greater efficiency and effectiveness. In the meantime, we do have several staff positions that we are looking to fill at Pregnant Girls Services [click here] love to hear from you, or perhaps someone you know, if there is interest in any of these positions.  

Thank you again for your heart to serve and for your commitment to women and children in Hong Kong through Mother’s Choice. 

Gratefully yours,

Alia Eyres
CEO


親愛的 [FIRSTNAME]

「母親的抉擇」於去年已服務了香港四分一世紀。如果沒有眾多義工在過去多年並肩同行,無私奉獻,不遺餘力地擁護我們的理想,「母親的抉擇」不會有今天的成就。沿路有你們這些志趣相投的成員愛護及照顧需要我們服務的嬰兒、特殊需要兒童和少女,過程不再孤單難行。我們知道你是其中一份子,只是欠缺機會去全力參與。

我們一直受到許多來自社會各界的支持,願意成為我們的義工,但欠缺資源處理所有請求。我向你們承諾,我們正檢視義工計劃的所有細節,我們希望藉此提供更多機會,使像你一般的善心人士通過「母親的抉擇」,回饋社會。我們仍然需要本地社會人仕的幫助,由於缺少資金,我們被迫在需要我們協助的孩子中二選一。

所以,請你耐心等候,我們正檢視現行的義工計劃及作出相對調適,達致更大效益。與此同時,我們的未婚懷孕服務需要增添新員工 (按此),如果你或你的朋友有興趣,請與我們聯絡。

再次感謝你選擇「母親的抉擇」,致力為香港的女性和兒童出一分力。
