Project
Description
Rotary Club of City
Northwest Hong Kong and Rotary Club
of Kingspark Hong Kong's aim in this project is to
promote Rotary's image of Lead
the Way in services through a joint
community service project with our partner-in-service - ACSVAW,
one of the few organizations in Hong Kong providing
support services for female victims of sexual
violence.
We
want to raise awareness on sexual violence issues, to
show Rotary's determination in the
community to promote a safe and equal society to the
public and the Family of Rotary. Furthermore, in line
with Rotary's theme on literacy and
education, by targeting students in particular, we
hope to foster this very important aspect of life in
the youth of Hong Kong early on in their lives.
The
Rotary RainLily Project has received partial funding
through Rotary's District Simplified Grant
(DSG) 2006-2007 and matching funds from our two clubs
for community service projects. (See DSG application July 2006.) However, we want to
accomplish more on the promotion and publicity
activities through additional resources and
sponsorship.
The
project has progressed smoothly since October 2006
with community education and sexual violence
awareness programs at local primary and secondary
schools, preparation for the fundraising concert, and
appeal for generous support from corporations, fellow
Rotary clubs, and individuals. (Read also DSG progress report March
2007.) In
April and May 2007, the project has staged its
highlight events and activities including a Family
Day, a fundraising concert, and a closing ceremony.
The
project has been concluded for 2006-2007. With
proceeds raised from the project fundraising events,
the Rotary RainLily Project plans to continue to
fulfill its objectives by lauching more public
relations activities to enhance awareness on sexual
awareness issues and for ACSVAW services and Rotary
in 2007-2008. We thank you for your continuous
support.

Partner-in-Service
The Association Concerning
Sexual Violence Against Women (ACSVAW) (關注婦女性暴力協會) is a non-government charity
organization in Hong Kong with the following goals:
1. To provide
emergency and crisis support to victims of sexual
violence through RainLily (風雨蘭) the only crisis centre of
its kind for female victims in Hong Kong - and RainLily
Hotline that provides 24-hour support
services to victims directly or through referrals.
2. To prevent sexual
violence (including physical and verbal assault)
through research, public awareness campaigns,
education (especially young people) and training for
the professionals.
RainLily's
Origin
| |
 The RainLily
is so named because it blooms heavily after
rain and storm. Drought resistant and willing
to flower at the slightest provocation, the
RainLily in bloom exudes strength and hope,
and reflects the tenacity and positive
outlook of the female victims despite their
setbacks. RainLily photos.Plant taxonomy: The
commonly known rainlily belongs to the Amarylidaceae family (石蒜科) and the Zephyranthes genus (蔥蓮屬). Two common species have been
introduced into China: Z. carinata
(pink) and Z. candida (white). Z carinata
has also been synonymous with Z.
grandiflora.
