A Season of Renewal: Zhi Wei’s Journey of Transformation

焕新之季:志伟的蜕变之旅

(2 January 2025 – 26 March 2025)

Dear Friends of Boys’ Town,

Lunar New Year is a time of renewal and family reunions. At Boys’ Town Residential Services, Zhi Wei’s* journey is one such story of transformation and resilience.

When Zhi Wei first arrived at Boys’ Town Residential Services, he struggled with aggressive behaviours that strained his family relationships. Even small comments could trigger intense responses, posing a risk to himself and those around him.

At Boys’ Town, Zhi Wei found a safe and supportive space where he could express himself and be heard. Through carefully tailored sessions with our dedicated social workers, Zhi Wei gained better awareness of his emotions and learned valuable techniques to manage them. The patient guidance of our youth specialists helped him feel seen, valued and capable of change. Over time, Zhi Wei’s self-esteem grew, leading him to become a mentor and role model for other residential boys at Boys’ Town, guiding them with empathy and a newfound maturity.

Zhi Wei’s family is amazed by his remarkable transformation from a “mastermind of mischief” to the mature, compassionate young man he is today. His family looks forward to welcoming him home for the Lunar New Year while he is keen to demonstrate his commitment to continued growth by helping with the family’s spring cleaning.


亲爱的儿童城之友:

农历新年是阖家团聚的时刻日子,也是焕新之季。在儿童城寄宿服务的受益者中,志伟*的故事展现了非凡的韧性与自我脱胎换骨的决心。

初到儿童城时,志伟难以克制自己的过激行为,让他和家人关系紧张。即使是一些无足轻重的评论,也会引发他的强烈反应,甚至威胁到自己与他人的安全。

志伟在儿童城找到了一个可以表达自我的空间。社会工作者耐心倾听他的心声,并通过社工团队量身定制的辅导服务,帮助他更深入地理解自己的情绪,并掌握情绪管理技巧。同时,在青少年专家的引导下,志伟意识到自己是被重视的存在,并且有能力改变自己。渐渐地,志伟变得更加成熟稳重,充满自信。他在儿童城的影响力也逐渐提升,通过自身的魅力与经历,成为了其他男孩们的导师和榜样,积极开导他们。

志伟的显著蜕变让家人惊喜交加,感慨万千。他们难以想信,眼前这位和蔼可亲的年轻人竟是曾经令人头疼的志伟。家人们热切期待在农历新年期间迎接他回家,而志伟也满怀期待,希望通过为家人大扫除,展示自己的成长与决心。

Make this Lunar New Year even brighter for youths like Zhi Wei. Your support allows us to transform lives, giving children and youth the opportunity to find hope, growth, and a renewed sense of belonging through Boys’ Town!


在这新春佳节之际,让我们同心协力,为像志伟这样的青少年铺设通往美好未来的道路,帮助他们拥抱无限的可能。您的捐赠与支持赋予我们改变命运的力量,使儿童城能够见证每一次努力与成长的足迹。

在此祝愿您春风得意好兆头,阖家团圆笑开颜!
