A Hong Kong-based independent charitable organization helping vulnerable children and their migrant mothers met with the Philippine Consulate General on 14 May 2018 to explore ways to establish institutional linkages with Filipino non-profit groups in order to ensure the efficacy and reach of its humanitarian services.

Consul General Antonio A. Morales and his team met with Kay McArdle, Chief Executive Officer of PathFinders Hong Kong, and her team, at a working luncheon hosted by PathFinders’ Board Member Lara Fabregas Lynch at the American Club in Exchange Square Two in Hong Kong’s Central District.

Carmen Lam, Co-Director of Services Director of Community Education and Outreach, briefed the Consulate about its work in helping over 4,800 of Hong Kong’s most vulnerable babies, children and migrant women, some of whom were at risk of abuse, neglect, and even human trafficking.

Social Welfare Attaché Elizabeth L. Dy provided a contact list of field directors in every provincial office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, who are working with local governments and non-profit organizations throughout the Philippines to extend assistance to the same demographic as PathFinders’ on a national scale.
