"Hello, Sir. Have you heard of Heifer International, a charitable organization?" Have you ever heard this introduction from our fundraisers in the street?
Since early 2008, Heifer HK has been recruiting monthly donors face to face. Our fundraisers professionally introduce Heifer's work to the public and recruit monthly donors at various locations in Hong Kong five days a week. It is no easy task working in the street every day. Let's share our fundraisers' joy and tears in this meaningful job.
"We have to stay outdoors eight hours a day, taking in polluted air, second-hand smoke and emissions from cars and also getting rejected by the citizens. In the summer, we have to bear with the extreme heat and keep sweating whole day - not everybody can stand these conditions! However, all this for me is a good opportunity to train myself to be really tough and not to give up easily when facing difficulties. I will just treat all the difficulties as challenges and overcome them. Moreover, having to chat with lots of strangers is the best way to get better at my interpersonal skills!" - Sze Ka Mung

"Whenever citizens ask me challenging questions, I get nervous and worried that I can't provide them with satisfactory answers. It's just like a competition with them! However, if I can tackle the difficult queries, I enjoy the sense of success so much!" - Chan Siu Fung

"It is important to consider the meaning behind any job. I will do my best as a fundraiser and hope that my contribution can help reduce the population under poverty." - Cheng Pak Tung

"There are always ups and downs at work. My most unforgettable experience happened when a citizen closed his umbrella in front of me on a rainy day, just to reject my presentation! Nevertheless, I've also got lots of happy experiences. Many people recognize Heifer's work and our job. Our job is to look for these people and invite them to become Heifer's supporters." - Chiu Hung Nga
