Chak Kwai, who had left Evangel Children’s Home admitted to the Chinese University of Hong Kong to study Information Engineering four years ago. He has achieved a lot today. He has been working in the IT field for half a year. Graduated with first-class honors and stepped into the workplace, Chak Kwai is grateful for God’s guidance and care. He also thank for the supporters. “Only relying on your own ability is unmanageable.” Chak Kwai humbly shared his path of growth that was full of grace.
Earlier, he made a special trip back to the Evangel Children’s Home to meet up with superintendent, the trustee of Yuk Ching Charity Trust which sponsored him tutorials, the house parents, social workers and the DSE students of the home. Precious memories are around corners in the home. This “home” has witnessed the love of Heavenly Father, and the staff healed his childhood trauma with love. In a stable environment, he can plan for his career development.
Due to illness, Chak Kwai’s family member was unable to take care of him. He began to move into the Evangel Children’s Home in Form 2. At that time, he refused to open up himself. He was restrained and found it hard to communicate with others. In retrospect, the house parents described him as “unable to be connected”. Onson, the house parent, has an unyielding will to serve and bring changes to the children with love, time and patience. On the day of the home reunion, Onson described Chak Kwai as responsible and hard-working that he earned a living with part-time job. He is well-prepared for future, diligent and studious, and admired him in giving back to Evangel Children’s Home as volunteer. This beloved “Dad” who is not his biological father, always sees the merits of him.
At the reunion, the memories came to life. Onson had been taking care of Chak Kwai at the Peter House for many years. Onson had evening prayers by bedside with him, asking him to entrust his troubles to his heavenly Father; serving him with desert when he studied at late night. Chak Kwai responded inadvertently and truly, saying, “As long as it is made by Onson, it is delicious.” What a heartwarming response!
Onson and Chak Kwai are in ties like “father and son”. Though he has left the home, Onson still cares about him. This “Home” is filled with extra love because God is love.
