　　Crossroads International

　　How does Crossroads work?

　　Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn't want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that：a Crossroads between need and resource.

　　Who do we help?

　　The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(预算). They are grass－root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can't get the job done without back－up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.

　　How do we operate?

　　Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated(捐赠). Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full－time staff work on a voluntary basis.

　　Those that donate goods and services:

　　●Factories

　　●Manufacturers

　　●Hospitals

　　●Hotels

　　●Educational Institutions

　　●Householders

　　●Transport Companies

　　●Offices

　　●Other Charities

　　One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.

What can I do?

　　We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks. If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories, some of the time. You are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate(提供) them.

　　●Clothing categorization

　　●Sewing

　　●Toy categorization

　　●Furniture handling

　　●Book categorization

　　●Driving

　　●Household goods categorization

　　●Office work

　　●Electrical goods categorization

　　●Book keeping

　　●Stationery categorization

　　●Fund－raising

　　●Medical categorization

　　Where to find us

　　All volunteer work is done at our warehouse:

　　Located in Basement Zone M of the Kai Tak Government Building. Our warehouse hours :

　　Tues－Sat.: l0am－5 : 30pm

　　Postal Address：16Man Tong, Silvermine Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong

　　Office details：Ph：2984 9309, 2740 9657 Fax：2984 7452

　　Email：106122. 2524 @ compuserve. Com

　　One day he is a famous policeman．The next day he is a gangster from Temple street．His songs are heard on radios all over Hong Kong．This is Andy Lau Tak Wah, the superstar that everyone sees, hears and loves．He is one of the most famous actors and singers in Hong Kong．

　　However, there is another side to Andy Lau．There is an important part of his life that only a few people know about．Andy Lau helps 15 children from poor countries all over the world．These boys and girls live in 11 different countries．Most of the children have not met him and none of them know that he is one of the biggest stars in Asia．

　　Andy Lau's interest in children started when he did some work with World Vision．This is a charity that helps poor children to lead better lives．For ＄200 a month, a sponsor helps with the food and education of one child．

　　The child does not receive the money in cash．Instead the money pays for the child's school fees, food, medical care and clothing．Each child knows the name of the sponsor who is giving the money．The sponsor receives a report each year on the child's progress．They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak Cantonese or English．

　　When Andy Lau heard about these children, he wanted to help them．"It was not anything special," he said．"Until I had the chance to go to Indonesia and meet the little girl I am sponsoring, I didn't know anything about the type of life she had．"

　　He said the meeting with Nina in Indonesia was very emotional．"When I met her, I felt very, very happy," he said．"I saw that the money was used for a very good purpose．It brought me closer to the child in a way that simply giving money cannot．"

　　By sponsoring these children through a charitable organization, Andy Lau is giving them hope and at the same time caring for them．"I want to do whatever I can．I will continue to help these children in need," he said．
