and Protecting Children&#8217;s Digital Privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Many parents like to upload photos or clips of their children to social media. However, oversharing may have negative outcomes for their children. A survey by YMCA found that more than 80% of surveyed parents shared their children&#8217;s information on social media platforms. However, nearly 30% of parents never asked for their children&#8217;s consent before doing so. More than 40% of students expressed that they are embarrassed by the sharing, and nearly 30% were annoyed. Details of the survey results can be viewed on our website:<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3tO14PH\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3tO14PH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>YMCA held a press conference on 14 January to publish the survey findings, which resulted in more than 20 media outlets features. YMCA reminds parents to stop and think before pressing \u201cshare\u201d. Before uploading photos of your children, take a moment to consider what needs you are trying to fulfill. Also, parents should seek children&#8217;s consent before sharing any information about them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5782537 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5782537\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0f224e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f0f224e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-907bf59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"907bf59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u7cb5\u6e2f\u6fb3\u59ca\u59b9\u5b78\u6821\u7c3d\u7d04\u5100\u5f0f.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"\u7cb5\u6e2f\u6fb3\u59ca\u59b9\u5b78\u6821\u7c3d\u7d04\u5100\u5f0f\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTI4NDYsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC95bWNhLm9yZy5oa1wvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDdcL1x1N2NiNVx1NmUyZlx1NmZiM1x1NTljYVx1NTliOVx1NWI3OFx1NjgyMVx1N2MzZFx1N2QwNFx1NTEwMFx1NWYwZi5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"523\" height=\"383\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0  &#039;%2F%3E\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12846 ld-lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u7cb5\u6e2f\u6fb3\u59ca\u59b9\u5b78\u6821\u7c3d\u7d04\u5100\u5f0f.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u7cb5\u6e2f\u6fb3\u59ca\u59b9\u5b78\u6821\u7c3d\u7d04\u5100\u5f0f.jpg 523w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u7cb5\u6e2f\u6fb3\u59ca\u59b9\u5b78\u6821\u7c3d\u7d04\u5100\u5f0f-300x220.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" data-aspect=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60fbe15 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60fbe15\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ab5153 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ab5153\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>The Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Sister School Signing Ceremony<\/h4>\n<p>The Education Bureau launched the Sister School Scheme in 2004 to promote exchange and cooperation between the Mainland and Hong Kong. Its aim is to deepen the ties between the two regions, while promoting the development of schools and broadening the horizons of students through friendly exchanges and diverse professional exchange.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese Y.M.C.A. Primary School (CYMCAPS) and the Dongguan Hanlin Experimental School successfully paired as sister schools this year. Hanlin is a public boarding school that integrates primary, junior secondary, senior secondary and international education. Its diverse teaching percept is very much similar to that of the CYMCAPS. This is an important milestone in the exchange between Guangdong and Hong Kong. Through diverse and professional exchanges, friendship between the two schools is sure to develop.<\/p>\n<p>Principal Lo King-chu, the CYMCAPS acting principal, met with Hanlin&#8217;s General Principal Feng Haiying at the &#8220;Guangdong-Hong Kong- Macao Sister School Contract Signing Ceremony 2023\/24&#8221; organised by the Education Bureau and the Department of Education Guangdong Province. During the exchange, the two shared school cultures and management philosophies. Hanlin presented school souvenirs, including works from students that exemplified their school culture to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b7e7c8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6b7e7c8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-edc570c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"edc570c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5df44fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5df44fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-02-143707.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot 2024-07-02 143707\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTI4NDksInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC95bWNhLm9yZy5oa1wvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDdcL1NjcmVlbnNob3QtMjAyNC0wNy0wMi0xNDM3MDcuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0 1024 575&#039;%2F%3E\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12849 ld-lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-02-143707-1024x575.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-02-143707-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-02-143707-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-02-143707-1250x700.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-02-143707.jpg 1376w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" data-aspect=\"1.7808695652174\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1519b52 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1519b52\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-daf6818 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"daf6818\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Outstanding Service Award Scheme 2023<\/h4>\n<p>To commend excellent service projects devised by our colleagues, promote inter-departmental and group collaboration while sharing service experience and takeaways, the YMCA has set up the \u201cOutstanding Service Award Scheme\u201d to encourage continued excellence.

Activities of the day included Halli Galli, the traditional card game, festival barrel rolling contest, German specialty workshops such as pig knuckle making and gummy bear DIY, as well as sharing sessions from German trainees. Apart from games and workshops, attendees interacted with trainees to learn more about their history and culture. Not only does the culture fair series enhance members\u2019 understanding of different countries, but it also encourages the YMCA to continue developing its presence internationally and promote cultural integration. We hope to continue bringing more unique cultural experiences in the near future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30189a4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"30189a4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdb39be e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bdb39be\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f84cd91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f84cd91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u4e2d\u57fa\u597d\u8072\u97f3.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"\u4e2d\u57fa\u597d\u8072\u97f3\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTI4NjQsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC95bWNhLm9yZy5oa1wvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDdcL1x1NGUyZFx1NTdmYVx1NTk3ZFx1ODA3Mlx1OTdmMy5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"501\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0  &#039;%2F%3E\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12864 ld-lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u4e2d\u57fa\u597d\u8072\u97f3-1024x658.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u4e2d\u57fa\u597d\u8072\u97f3-1024x658.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u4e2d\u57fa\u597d\u8072\u97f3-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u4e2d\u57fa\u597d\u8072\u97f3-700x450.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u4e2d\u57fa\u597d\u8072\u97f3-1536x987.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/\u4e2d\u57fa\u597d\u8072\u97f3-2048x1317.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" data-aspect=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0774239 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0774239\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7760c5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7760c5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"h4\">Singing Contest<\/h4>\n<div>A singing contest was held jointly by the Chai Wan Centre and the Chinese Foundation Secondary School on 2 December, 2023.

A healthy joint consists of cartilage and synovial fluid, which are crucial in reducing friction between knee joints when moving. A knee joint with osteoarthritis has thinner cartilage with mutated synovial fluid. When the joint is moved, immense pain is felt due to bones grinding on each other. Doctors often recommend the elderly to minimise movements that put a heavy load on their joints. This is sometimes misinterpreted as an advice to not move their joints. Instead, we should continue to perform the proper kinds of exercises regularly to strengthen our joints. With strengthened knees, walking downstairs will place less stress and damage on the joints, slowing down the deterioration of the knees. Here are two beginner exercises often used to strengthen your knees. If pain is experienced during these workouts, please consult your physiotherapist or doctor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteleft\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
