[1] Edward Fernandes knows what it is like to have a childhood without birthday parties. “I
was born in Kenya, but moved with my sister and mother to the United Kingdom in 1966,”
said Fernandes, who has been in Hong Kong since 1994. “In London, we struggled
economically. My mother could barely put food on the table, so there was no room for birthday
5 parties, which meant we also didn’t get invited to any.”
[2] This feeling would stay with Fernandes, and it motivated him and his wife, Marilou Edora,
to set up Birthday Happiness Asia (BHA). It is a charity that makes sure less fortunate children
get to have a birthday celebration complete with cake, decorations, games and gifts.
[3] “My wife’s parents couldn’t afford to celebrate her birthdays or those of her siblings. She
10 wanted for no child to suffer the disappointment of not celebrating their special day,” he said.
“Birthday Happiness Asia actually started in 1994. But a few years later, my wife got seriously
unwell, and I had to concentrate on her. And the organization just collapsed. Unfortunately,
my wife passed away in January, 2021 – she’d battled cancer of the jaw for 40 years – so in
memory of her, I decided to resurrect Birthday Happiness Asia.”
15 [4] Fernandes said the concept of hosting birthday parties for less fortunate children dates
back to the 1970s. That was when two Argentinian men noticed that financial issues were
causing parents to abandon kids or put them into orphanages. “Not because the parents didn’t
want to look after them, but they just physically couldn’t afford to look after them,” he said.
[5] “What the two gentlemen noticed was that although the government or charities looked
20 after the basic needs of the children, such as food, education, clothing etc, they did not
celebrate their birthdays,” he said. “So they went into orphanages and threw birthday parties
for them.”

[6] BHA partners with charities such as Caritas and Society for Community Organisation
(SoCO). It also relies on the help of volunteers. One of them is Haiti-born Eudmarly Gedeon,
25 an international student at Li Po Chun United World College, in Ma On Shan. “The joy and
happiness that we get to experience at every single BHA event is amazing,” said Gedeon. “A
simple gesture like providing a party to a young child can bring so much to the life of these
kids and our lives as volunteers.”
[7] SoCO’s Kiki Leung said BHA provides unforgettable experiences for children who are
30 most affected by poverty in a city with a widening gap between rich and poor. “In Hong Kong,
253,000 children struggle to survive in poverty, with 50,000 children living in caged homes
or partitioned homes and doing their homework on beds,” said Leung. “Birthday Happiness
Asia allows children who never get a chance to celebrate that important day in their lives to
celebrate with their friends and parents, to play games and share delicious food and birthday
35 cake.”

(ii) Fernandes and his wife were not the first to come up with the idea of

Jack: Rating: I only watched this because all the other films that were showing
at the cinema looked too childish. It was the right choice. I haven’t seen such a moving film

use the chance to help his friend Paula. It encouraged me to be kind to everyone!
Judy: Rating: Ann, what’s wrong with Queen the Cat? The film is so sad, Hugh and
Paula have so many problems in their lives, and Queen is the only character who made us
laugh. This film really needed more moments of laughter! Is the German original as sad as
20 this remake? I haven’t watched it so I don’t know. If this film had no Queen the cat, I’d only
give it two stars.
Joe: Rating: The story is alright. It has good plot twists but I don’t find it
particularly touching. To me, the acting is the most impressive aspect of this film. I think this
is Marcus Rockwell’s best performance since The Prince’s Wish 13 years ago! It’s Greta
25 Lacey’s first role but she does very well too.

Last Sunday, Mary and I visited a children’s hospital in Kowloon City. We met in
the early morning to finalize our games and rundown. We rehearsed our story
many times, hoping to bring a joyful time to the sick children. We also brought the
story books and the glove puppets made by my mother. She fully supported me
to participate in these meaningful activities.
We had a quick breakfast and then headed to the children’s hospital. Upon our
arrival, the nurses led us to the activity room and we did the set-up and
preparation. At three o’clock, the sick children arrived. We first told the story of
The Boy Cried Wolves. I tried to relax myself, played with the glove puppets and
acted like a wolf. “Woo…Here I come” I said with a low cunning voice. The
children burst into laughter as I tried to make fun of myself. Mary also tried her
39
Then, the next section was a puppet-making time. We prepared some cloth,
needle, scissors and glue. We taught the children to make their own glove
puppets using the old gloves. They were so delighted when they saw the
materials. The boy with a broken arm had a hard time following our instructions.
He felt sad as he could not follow our steps. We were busy teaching other kids to
make their puppets. He sat quietly at the corner. I came to him and asked him
what happened. He said he wanted to enjoy the lesson but his arm was unable
to move. He told me that he broke his arm during a football match. The doctor
told him that his arm had to be wrapped in bandage for few months. All of a
sudden, he burst into tears and cried. I was shocked. Therefore, I assisted him in
making the puppet. He did it step by step slowly. The other children had finished
making their puppets and were playing cheerfully. Mary had a wonderful idea.
She invited other children to make another puppet together. The children were so
excited. At the end, they knew that they had to help the poor kid with a broken
arm. They made a beautiful dog puppet and gave it to him as a present. He was
thrilled and touched. We had a marvelous time playing with the puppets. Mary
and I felt contented after the voluntary service.
