CHARITY GALA - information about the charity
The Home of Loving Faithfulness ( Holf) opened its doors to severely
mentally & physically disabled young people in August 1965. The Home
came into being as a result of God’s clear call in 1962 to Valerie Conibear
and Wendy Blackmur - two English women who were then serving in Shatin
Babies Home- a Christian Mission home in Hong Kong for children who had
been found abandoned.
Some of the residents at Holf have family members visiting but others were
abandoned or signed off previously and have no known relatives. Whatever
their status, they now belong to the Holf family and, as such, they are
precious and loved. Several of the older residents require a lot of time and
nursing care. Younger children can all attend special child care centres,
schools or training centres - opportunities that were not available in the
earlier years. The aim is to meet each individual’s physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual needs in the best way possible.
Our core staff of several full-time volunteers receive no salaries and appeals
for money are never made by the Home. Unsolicited gifts from individuals,
churches and other organisations are their only source of funding.
Members of the HWI swim team (the Mantas) have visited the Home several
times;
