Ripples Action is a series of activities which motivate and engage women lawyers, women accountants, women doctors, women nurses, social workers, Junior Police, University Students, NGO and others to support and empower underprivileged women. The Ripples Action Initiative, founded by FIDA and other dedicated women professionals including women doctors, accountants and nurses and International Social Service (ISS), has continued to be active in the past year in reaching out to migrants and needy women in the community to provide mentoring and support for them and their families.

On 22 December 2018, we hosted another community event together with the same team of Professionals and the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong at 9/F, Southorn Centre, 130 Hennessy Road, Wanchai. Mr Justice Kevin Paul Zervos, Justice of Appeal of the Court of Appeal, was invited to be our Guest of Honour. Experience on mentoring, family and legal matters were shared, pep smear, blood and stress tests, psychiatric assessment conducted for free.

Last but not the least, we take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to 21 volunteers from our council members, students and friends in contributing to the success of this event.
