About us Background & purpose Since the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong since July 2020, one after another civil society groups have been disbanded. We have established the 'Bonham Tree Aid' (BTA) overseas, dedicated to helping those imprisoned and their families to solve urgent problems, and hoping to provide a dignified life for prisoners and their families. ​ BTA derives its name from the stone wall trees on Bonham Road in Sai Wan, representing the resilient spirit of resisting destruction. Despite being mistakenly cut down, four 80-year-old banyan trees regrew their leaves after a season, inspiring us to bring the legendary will of our hometown to every beneficiary's heart and promote human rights worldwide. ​ We provide economic assistance to families in need and aims to be a credible humanitarian aid fund. The long-term goal is to build a comprehensive public welfare network that supports education, scientific research, and human rights development. Our values Third-party oversight We maintain neutrality and transparency by having a third-party human rights group oversee our finances. We disclose any controversial decisions to ensure public awareness. Building a public welfare network We aim to establish a strong foundation to support livelihoods, education, and scientific research, while exploring alternative fundraising methods for those in need. A fair support system Ensuring equal access to public resources for all eligible individuals, and preventing resource bias. Support periods are also determined by actual sentence time to avoid 'endless' distribution.

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.
