What is home? A shelter where one feels comfortable, secure and a sense of belonging. Yet, according to the figure of “Homeless Outreach Population Estimation Hong Kong 2015”, there are around 1614 homeless people in Hong Kong and the trend is increasing. SCI/NUCLEUS cooperated with The Street Sleepers Action Committee (SSAC) to distribute meal boxes and other donated materials to them. Behind the glitz and glamour of this stunning city, shall we reflect the meaning of life and show respect and care for people from all walks of life?
