Multi-Cultural Festival

1 PEOPLE 1 CITY (1P1C) is International Christian Assembly’s event to show its commitment to the city of Hong Kong and at the same time reflect the ethnic and social diversity that is both the nature of Hong Kong and that of International Christian Assembly (ICA), an international church in Hong Kong.

 

1 PEOPLE 1 CITY is blessed to have the support of community leaders from a wealth of backgrounds. We are proud to stand with them to celebrate cultural diversity, unity, and community and to join hands to support the underprivileged. Past 1P1C events have witnessed an outpouring of support from leaders and former heads of departments of the Hong Kong government, consulate generals and consuls from the international consulates of Thailand, Philippines, India, Nepal, Indonesia, Singapore, Israel, and Malaysia, as well as executive directors of major international commissions and local Christian organizations. The endorsement of these leaders makes the event a special success. Their partnership fosters the quintessential values of diversity, unity, community and compassion that contribute to a healthy and peaceful society. We commend them and thank them for their support!

 

The 1P1C event over 7 and 8 May, 2016 at the Southorn Playground in Wanchai is organized as a carnival with various cultural and social activities as well as the opportunity to shop and where the diverse ethnicities of the city and the church will be represented. Through it, Hong Kong’s international community will be coming together to celebrate the city’s diversity and at the same time contribute back to the community. Community leaders including HK government officials and Consul Generals have been invited to take part in the event. ICA is collaborating with the Mekong Club, a well-established NGO that works to help support the fight against human trafficking, to host this third 1 PEOPLE 1 CITY Charity Event.

 

This year, all the proceeds raised through this event will be donated to the Mekong Club and will be used to finance their various Anti-Human Trafficking projects and efforts in Hong Kong.

 

「同一天空下」跨文化慶典表達了基督教國際神召會(ICA)對香港這城巿的委身與堅持,同時也反映了作為國際教會,ICA擁有與香港這大都會文化及種族多樣性的共同特質。

 

非常感恩「同一天空下」這活動得到很多有力的群體支持,我們很榮幸能與他們一起慶賀大家共同擁有的多元文化、合一和族群,並攜手支援弱勢群體。過去一屆的「同一天空下」得到政府部門首長及前任官員、總領事,來自泰國、菲律賓、印度、尼泊爾、印尼、新加坡、以色列、馬來西亞的領事、大型國際性委員會代表,以及本地基督教機構的踴躍支持。這些領袖的支持,有助此活動的顯著成功。此外,與他們的合作促進了大家的多元文化、合一、族群互助互愛,有助建立健康及和平社會。我們表揚及感激他們的支持及出席!

 

於今年5月7至8日在灣仔修頓球場舉行的「同一天空下」慶典,將會是一次慶祝這城巿及教會中不同文化及種族的嘉年華會。藉著會中設置不同種族色彩的攤位及活動,讓本港不同國籍的群體能有機會互相慶祝以及回饋社會。本港政府官員及多國領事館代表也被邀約出席。是次嘉年華會,ICA 更與一向致力支援打擊人口販賣工作的MEKONG CLUB合作,共同主辦第三屆的「同一天空下」慈善活動。

 

今年第三屆所籌得善款,將會捐助MEKONG CLUB,用作支持打擊本地人口販賣工作的各類型項目。

JOIN US AND HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCETOGETHER WE CARE, TOGETHER WE SHARE

Why do I support this event? You can see all these people here, despite the rain. I believe people do want to integrate together for a harmonious community in Hong Kong. These are values we want to promote. We hope that Hong Kong will be a cosmopolitan city, where all different nationalities, ethnic minorities, together with the locals, can live together in harmony.

 

I think it's great that ICA has organised this 1P1C event because we are a church that cares. And seeing all the nations together and all the proceeds are going to charity.
