細葉榕2024月曆 一月故事 插畫創作人 : 阿塗 人物故事 「終於離開呢個鬼地方！沙嗲牛麵凍檸樂真係好好味！但係⋯⋯ 茶記老細係咁放住我，係咪因為我坐過⋯⋯ 阿細同容仔返緊工，約打機食茶記都唔應機⋯⋯ 我都想返工，但舊公司同事一見係我就已讀不回，行家都走夾唔唞⋯⋯ 條街啲口罩鋪無晒，食開間雲吞麵都無埋，連去公園條捷徑都Block咗⋯⋯ 得我自己一個，可以去邊？可以點樣行落去？」 ——阿朗，23歲，因抗爭入獄兩年，剛獲釋 主角背景 阿朗係啱啱出獄嘅手足。喺監倉入面嘅生活同外面非常唔同，出返嚟之後佢都未適應到出面嘅節奏。而外面嘅世界喺佢坐緊監嗰陣又變咗好多，佢一時之間覺得自己好似同個世界脫咗節咁。 刑期結束對被判刑嘅手足嚟講就好似一天都光曬咁，但事實上好多手足喺出獄之後都要面對好多挑戰。有啲手足要守一至兩年監管令，有人因為有案底而要轉行做其他工，有人出咗嚟之後繼續有情緒困擾。手足們嘅生活看似可以重回正軌，但係唔係真係咁呢？ 編者的話 新一年理應充滿希望咁開始，但月曆中一月嘅故事比較沉重。故事嘅主角其實係準備開始一個新生活，而伴除改變而嚟嘅有時會係興奮，有時會係擔心，亦可能會係迷惘。我哋咁樣編排個故事係因為我哋想帶出一開始會有「開啟新生活時嘅不安」，但呢種情緒只係暫時嘅。暴雨過後定會天晴。 如果想知道其他月份嘅故事背景或者補充資料，記得每個月都scan吓嗰一頁嘅QR code啦！ 阿塗 香港獨立插畫師，地球聯邦漫畫人， 生於香港，流浪英國。 Facebook 阿塗 Instagram @ah_to_hk We need your support We are currently supporting over 200 families; your donation can provide stable financial support for incarcerated individuals.

FAQs 1. If I want to apply for aid, what information do I need to submit? Please prepare the following supporting documents and email the electronic files to this email address: info.bonhamtreeaid@pm.me Personal identification document (ID card or passport copy only) Proof of the prisoner's identity* Proof of relationship* Proof of address within the last three months Telegram username of an important contact person Certification of Trial (issued by the Correctional Services Department) Relevant news report in PDF format. ​ * If the application is not submitted by the person in custody 2. How does BTA ensure that my personal information will not be leaked? To ensure the safety of applicants, all application data will not be stored in Hong Kong. To protect privacy and personal safety, we also recommend using ProtonMail and VPN. The applicant may also provide other relevant proof of eligibility for financial assistance to the fund for reference. You can find more guidelines on protecting privacy and security on this page . 3. Will the scope of support of BTA be expanded to cover legal or medical expenses in the future? We are more than happy to provide comprehensive support to all persons in custody, but currently the fund only has a monthly donation amount of approximately HKD 100,000, which limits the scope of distribution. Currently, our financial support for political prisoners is based on their actual term of imprisonment, and is not distributed indefinitely. The amount of support ranges from HKD 3,000 to 9,000 per month or equivalent currency, depending on the amount of donations received by the fund. 4. How can we ensure that the donation process is secure in Hong Kong under the national security law? The safest monthly donation method for now is through the Stripe platform. Stripe only shows that you donated to a charity*, and hides the name of the fund, so BTA's name will not appear on your bank records. ​ Also, donors can easily donate with a credit card (Visa/Master/AE) using Stripe. ​ *The actual category name may vary depending on the bank, but in any case, our name will not be displayed directly. Learn more 5. How can I ensure that my donation is being used appropriately? We implement a "third-party oversight system" where third-party human rights activists supervise the fund's finances. This not only ensures that the funds are used for legitimate purposes, but also eliminates the problem of high administrative expenses that is common in general funds, aiming to achieve "transparency" and "integrity". Currently, we submit detailed financial reports to the our Voluntary Finance Committee every month for approval. In addition, we also publish a detailed work report every three months to ensure that the fund is subject to public scrutiny. BTA is committed to inviting different human rights organisations to serve as voluntary finance committee members to monitor the fund's financial situation. And in case of unreasonable financial conditions, the voluntary finance committee will publicly disclose our complete financial report, allowing the public to judge whether to continue trusting the fund. View more details 6. Previously, some humanitarian aid funds had their accounts frozen. Do you have any corresponding preventive measures in place? The Hong Kong government has frozen bank accounts of some organizations and individuals involved in humanitarian work under the pretext of suspected money laundering to achieve political goals. Therefore, we have a series of corresponding measures in place. BTA is a UK registered fund that uses WiseUK for banking, and using overseas financial institutions can avoid funds being unreasonably and indefinitely frozen due to political suppression. In addition, we also recommend donors to use monthly donations instead of one-time large donations, mainly to avoid hoarding resources and reduce risks. On the other hand, we also hope to provide stable financial support for prisoners. 7. What are the current difficulties of BTA? We are currently facing two pressing challenges: 1）Lack of visibility At present, our social media following is relatively low, and due to algorithmic limitations, our posts are seen by fewer targeted users. As a result, Bonham Tree Aid is unable to achieve the same level of support as similar funds. 2）Lack of manpower Due to limited membership, we require assistance in various areas, including but not limited to: daily administrative support, public relations and communications, accounting, and those who are willing to work with us in advancing human rights in Hong Kong and reviving the local community. 8. What are your long-term goals for the organisation's future development? The primary goal of the fund is to support political prisoners and newly-released individuals, and in the future, we will also strive to establish stronger support programs for various public welfare activities, including but not limited to education, entrepreneurship, and scientific research. Our plans include: 1. Include and update our prisoners' support guidelines 2. Scholarship programme 3. Promotion of overseas Hong Kong cultural educatio n Ultimately, we hope to cultivate talent through education, and unite talent for the development of science and entrepreneurship, so that eventually we can give back to the Education and Humanitarian Support fields.
