Quota full! Thank you for your support!
HOPE worldwide’s GoodTrekker is an annual experiential fundraising event which takes participants through some of the most beautiful places in the world while helping some of the neediest populations in our communities. In addition to the cost of the trip, participants raise a minimum of HK$6,000 to support the HOPE worldwide Centre for Kids in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. There are currently five such centres serving hundreds of migrant workers.
This year, part of the funds raised will be donated to HOPE worldwide Croatia, which organizes volunteers to serve children at an orphanage.
After arriving in Zagreb, you will spend the first day interacting with the orphanage’s children before heading out to places such as the Plitvice Lake National Park, the city of Split, and the Walls of Dubrovnik Old Town (where the TV series Game of Thrones is filmed). You will trek a total of twenty kilometers over seven days. You will form new friendships with others on this unique and meaningful trip.
Furthermore, HOPE worldwide’s Ambassador, Mr. Cheung Man-sun, veteran broadcaster and retired Assistant Director of Broadcasting for RTHK and his wife, Ms. Candy Chea, veteran radio DJ, will be along for the trip. Mr. Cheung was the one who “gave voice” to Canto-pop, according to the South China Morning Post. He and his wife are lively conversationalist who often generously share about their travels and life experiences. Their presence will certainly add a rich layer to this fundraising trip.
What the trip really is for
This will not be just another travel experience. Even as you enjoy the scenery, the culture, the food, the company and the conversations, you will be gratified to know that you are also helping migrant children in China and orphans in Croatia.
