Learning a Thing or Two About Friendship
Followed the Whampoa kids on Beyond Social Services' Fundraiser Streetwise Run early July, and I learned a thing or two about friendship and determination.

There was the pre-run prep, where kids who showed up a the bus pick-up point early then walked to their friends' flats to make sure they were up and would be ready to leave on time. There were the older kids who were holding the younger kids' hand on the 5k walk - kids that I wouldn't have dreamed would even think of looking after other kids.
