Journey of Mark Memorial Home
Mark Memorial Home, First Children's Home of HKSAS
With the generous support from the British Council of Churches, the building work of a hostel at Rennie's Mill, which could cater for 60 children was completed. The hostel was named Mark Memorial Home, in memory of Mark, one of the first students, who heroically gave his life to save his brothers and sisters in China. Mark Memorial Home is the first children's home of HKSAS.
Fire in Rennie's Mill
A small house adjacent to Mark Memorial was burnt down. Our volunteer nurse, Anutie Lovise Haraldstad subsequently solicited most of the fund to buy and renovate the house for recreational purpose of the children in MMH. To commemorate the services Auntie had given to HKSAS, the house was named Auntie Lovise Cottage. Opening ceremony was held in May.
Reprovision to King Lam in Tseung Kwan O
With the development of the Rennie' s Mill district launched by the government in the 1980s Mark Memorial Home was reprovisioned to the public housing estate in King To House of King Lam in Tseung Kwan O.
