SUMMARY:Creating Joy: A Culinary Experience for Families at RMHC (Kwun Tong House)
DESCRIPTION:When your child is in hospital\, the world shrinks. Days are measured by test results. Meals are eaten standing up. Sleep comes in shifts between ward visits. The small\, ordinary joys that hold a family together — cooking together\, eating together\, laughing together — quietly disappear. On 28 January\, the Peak II Foundation and Les Beatitudes Foundation set out to bring one of those small joys back. At Ronald McDonald House Charities (Kwun Tong) — a place that provides families with a home away from home while their children undergo treatment — 24 families gathered around egg waffle stations for an afternoon that smelled like golden batter and sounded like something many of them hadn’t heard in a while: their own laughter. The Mothers Behind the BatterThe women running the workshop weren’t professional chefs or paid event staff. They were volunteer mothers from Les Beatitudes Foundation — grassroots women from Sham Shui Po and Wong Tai Sin who have been trained in practical skills and community service through the Foundation’s programmes. These mothers know something about hardship. Many came to Hong Kong as new immigrants with no support network\, no income\, and no sense of belonging. Through Les Beatitudes\, they gained skills\, earned allowances\, and discovered that their hands could do more than just provide for their own families — they could bring comfort to others. On this afternoon\, they arrived early. They fine-tuned the egg batter. They checked every ingredient for freshness and quality. They did this not because someone told them to\, but because they understood — deeply\, personally — what it means to go through a difficult season and be met with care from a stranger. That understanding is something no training manual can teach. It comes from lived experience. And it is exactly what made this workshop different from any catering service. A Break That Was More Than a BreakFor the 24 families at RMHC\, this workshop offered something deceptively simple: a moment to stop being a “caregiver” and just be a parent again. To watch their child’s face light up over a fresh egg waffle. To chat with another family going through something similar. To feel\, even briefly\, that life still holds small pockets of sweetness. For the children — many of whom are navigating medical challenges no child should have to face — the afternoon was simply fun. No tests\, no waiting rooms. Just batter\, warmth\, and the thrill of watching an egg waffle puff up in the mould. And for the Les Beatitudes mothers\, the day was a reminder of how far they’ve come. Women who once needed community now create it. Women who once felt invisible now stand in a kitchen and make 24 families feel seen. The Chain of CareThis is what Peak II Foundation means when we talk about the multiplier effect: We provided the funding. Les Beatitudes Foundation trained the mothers. The mothers brought their skills\, their empathy\, and their time. Ronald McDonald House Charities opened its doors and connected us with families in need. And 24 families walked away with full stomachs\, lighter hearts\, and the knowledge that a room full of strangers genuinely cared about them. No single organisation could have created this moment alone. It took a chain of care — each link strengthening the next. About Our PartnersPeak II Foundation empowers individuals of all ages through education\, skills development\, and community connection. We believe the most effective giving doesn’t stop at a single recipient — it creates a ripple\, equipping one person to uplift many. Les Beatitudes Foundation transforms grassroots women into skilled community contributors through creative arts\, crafts\, and service programmes — proving that empowerment is not a destination but a relay. Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) provides a home away from home for families with seriously ill children\, offering accommodation\, meals\, and emotional support so that families can stay close to their child during treatment.

We will continue creating spaces where empowered individuals bring warmth to those who need it most. 今日，崇嶺基金會與愛連心基金會再次合作，於 麥當勞叔叔之家（觀塘家舍） 舉辦了一場充滿歡樂與創意的 雞蛋仔工作坊，吸引約 24 組家庭參與，共度愉快美好的時光。 麥當勞叔叔之家（RMHC）致力於為病童及其家庭提供全方位的支援。除提供舒適的住宿與可口營養的膳食外，亦提供心理與情緒支援，讓家長與孩子在艱難的治療階段中，仍能感受到「家」的溫暖與安心。 我們特別感謝來自愛連心基金會的義工媽媽們，她們於活動前悉心調整蛋漿比例，確保每一份食材均新鮮、美味，為家庭提供最佳的地道美食體驗。 這次活動不僅為病童提供安全、潔淨的食物，亦讓日夜照顧孩子的家長們得以稍作喘息，享受一刻放鬆。透過一起製作地道美食，參加者在烹飪過程中建立起真摯的聯繫，進一步加強了社區之間的凝聚力。 崇嶺基金會深信，小小的關懷能帶來巨大的力量。今天的工作坊不僅為家長與孩子們帶來美味的味覺享受，更在心靈上帶來支持與慰藉，讓我們彼此陪伴、攜手邁向更幸福的明天。 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n												\n																					家長們看到清潔乾淨的食材，都放心讓小朋友試做及試食雞旦仔\n										\n									\n				\n				\n				\n												\n																					照顧病童的家長們暫時抽離日常的壓力，享受片刻的放鬆。
