2. To connect people in a broken world
 Try to be a crossroads: bring together those in need and those who can help
3.

For years, we were sure we wouldn’t start an NGO. Our goal was to use our training to help those already doing a good thing in a hard place. Malcolm, a chartered accountant, volunteered financial services. Sally, a public relations consultant, gave pro bono communications services. Put another way, we used words and numbers to serve those in need.

Global Distribution

In 1995, however, all that changed. One of those charities asked for help following floods in Northern China. “Two million people have lost everything,” we were told. “Could you send aid?”
Well, no. Not really. We were not set up to do anything like that.

But, we thought, we could try to help, just this once.  We collected textiles in Hong Kong and sent off 19 boxes. They wanted more so, next time, we sent 72. Later, 136. Later, 248.

Finally, Hong Kong’s Social Welfare Department told us, “You’re getting too large not to be registered”. That was a crossroads for us. We had not intended to start a non-profit organisation, but, whether we liked it or not, the work was growing beyond all expectation.

So we registered and the Hong Kong Government graciously allowed us 8 rooms in which to store our donated items.

At first, we thought we would never fill those rooms.

We were wrong!

Shortly after we moved in, we sent out five tons of goods.  Within just three weeks, we had received donations of ten tons. After three months, we could no longer fit in those eight rooms.

The increase was not just in size and quantity, but also in variety. Soon it wasn’t just clothing and bedding that we were receiving.  We received educational toys and supplies, furniture of all shapes and sizes, computers and office equipment, medical provision, literature, stationery, household items, electrical appliances. It was as if a hole had opened in the heavens and goods had begun to flood our lives.

  • In 1995, we sent 19 cartons of relief supplies. Today, our warehouse has goods equating to 200 x 20′ containers.
  • In 1995, we used 170 square feet. Today, we operate from a site that covers 600,000 square feet (14 acres).
  • In 1995, our full-time personnel consisted of two people. Today, we have 70 team members and many more volunteers from the community.
  • In 1995, we collected goods for just one destination. Today, we give:
    • 60% of our donated goods to people in Hong Kong.
    • the other 40% to over 90 countries around the world.
The Crossroads story didn’t stop there, though. The surprises continued.
