Sharing Night in Hong Kong

News from Hong Kong

As the need for our service grew rapidly, we started brainstorming the idea of setting up branches in different US cities and other parts of the world. The branches could recruit local professionals to provide services to China. We would match a Chinese city with a branch operation for service and support. At the beginning of 2007, we started talking to friends in different parts of the world about this idea. Much to our surprise, we stared the first RM branch office outside of North America, in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, our due diligence team traveled to different cities in China in late April and early May in 2007. The city of Nanning became RM’s second city for service, after Chongqing, and it would be under the care of RM Hong Kong Branch. And in the following December, Hong Kong sent a team of ten to Nanning to serve in a school for children with cerebral palsy. And just before the year ended, RM Hong Kong received the official status as Non-Profit Organization.

We still have a long way to go and your support to both Seattle and Hong Kong will be crucial to meeting the needs we are faced with.
