Time flies. This comes to Issue 3 of Harbour Lights. In this issue, we are excited that we made the JCI Asia-Pacific Conference (ASPAC) in Hong Kong on 7-10 June 2012. More than 4,800 young active citizens from all over the world gathered in Hong Kong to exchange views on how to bring positive

change to society. This is an enjoyable and memorable lifetime experience for me. How about you?

In addition to the “Hong Kong-made” conference, we are honoured to have interviewed Mr Douglas Young, Founder of G.O.D. who designs and makes “Hong Kong-style” products. We can strongly feel his mission, passion and persistence to promote Hong Kong culture through his creative designs to not only Hong Kong, but also to the world.

Last but not least, this issue presents to you many meaningful projects undertaken by JCIHK and its chapters. Happy reading and keep updated with JCIHK!!

MessagefromNationalPresident

Beyond ASPAC – A Stronger JCI Hong Kong!With over 4,800 JCI members from 38 different national bodies, 2012 JCI Asia-Pacific Conference Hong Kong had created a significant drive in JC movement in the region.

From the conference, we heard the development of JC movement in new territories; witnessed that Local Chapters are committed to work jointly for the communities through new sisterhood twining; new projects are being launched by creative young people in the region to tackle new social issues; and sustainable solutions are implemented continuously in different cities in the Asia-Pacific region. Members are further equipped through debate and public speaking programs, new skill sets are being introduced in training sessions, local and international partners of JCI are working closer to allow greater impact for the region and beyond.

The achievement we have created makes our efforts in the past years really meaningful - from 2009 National Convention Long Term Development Forum, 2010 Bidding Process in ASPAC Singapore, the huge strategic work of ASPAC Conference Organizing Committee (COC) and Executive Committee in 2011 to condensed preparation work from COC and 19 Chapters this year. The process was not easy but it has been worthwhile. It is an experience that all of us will keep talking about and never forget in our life time.

Members of JCI Hong Kong, after ASPAC, I hope all of you are more aware of the call from our community to create bigger impact from JC movement.

We still have over 150 days to the end of 2012. After ASPAC, it is not the time to relax yet. Instead, it is time to do more for our local initiatives. We are better equipped with experience, knowledge and exposure now. The issues in the society are yet to be addressed. Your Local Chapter has already planned a series of projects for you to Act. Do it!

JC movement is about uniting young people of each generation to make actions for the welfare of our community. We are so lucky to have the opportunity to host and experience ASPAC in Hong Kong that members in the past 33 years cannot get. It is now our responsibility to make our beloved JCI Hong Kong a stronger JCI Hong Kong!

Interview with Mr Douglas Young, Founder of G.O.D.

Many people will know G.O.D. (Goods of Desire) – a famous Hong Kong brand selling lifestyle products ranging from fashion, furniture to homeware. G.O.D. designs are inspired by the vibrant culture of the energetic Hong Kong where east meets west, and age-old traditions meet cutting-edge technology. How much do you know about its founder, Mr Douglas Young? The JCIHK has the honour to interview the innovative designer, Douglas, who clearly demonstrated Hong Kong Spirit and shared with us his contribution to social responsibility.

A Role Model of “Hong Kong Spirit”To Douglas, “Hong Kong Spir it” is always full of energy, creative, persistent and forward-looking. Douglas shares all these characteristics and his designs embody a strong sense of “Hong Kong” style and culture – a role model of Hong Kong Spirit.

Born in Hong Kong, Douglas went to study in the United Kingdom at the age of 14. While studying architecture in university, he returned to Hong Kong to start his design career. Seeing that many brands at that time were just imitating foreign brands, he had the mission to establish a “totally” local brand reflecting local culture. He believed that a successful brand should be “original” carrying local culture and identity and such will enable its market to outreach Hong Kong to the world.

G.O.D. has now become a wel l-established brand attracting both local and international customers. Its designs always give “surprises”. Yet these surprises may not always be accepted by all people. There were some criticisms about some

“controversial” G.O.D. designs such as “Delay No More” which sounds like local foul language. Despite this, Douglas emphasized the need to create “surprises” and “noises” in his designs all the time. “Design must make noise and it is good to hear the noises arousing people’s attention to and discussion about my designs!”, said Douglas. When asking how he can always have inspirations and surprises, he explained,

In facing the increasing number of companies selling designed products of local culture, Douglas considered this a healthy competition. “I am pleased to see this trend and glad that I am the pioneer to do so. We are working together to promote local culture”, said Douglas. To maintain the competitiveness of G.O.D., he stressed the need to surprise his customers all the time.

Learning through ExperiencesDouglas is someone who is willing to try different things and take risks as demonstrated from the development of G.O.D. and investment in the Delay No Mall project which are quite different. G.O.D. sells his own designed products but Delay No Mall offers products from other companies.

In 2008, Douglas invested in the Delay No Mall project, but it was not a success. Though he lost a lot of money in this development, he stayed positive and viewed this as a valuable learning experience. He attributed the failure to the wrong choice of the location of the Mall and the lack of “special” products in the Mall. He joked that not all my designs can be successful – out of 10 designs, there are a few unsuccessful designs. He likes success, but will also accept failure. As long as he can still accept failure, he will keep accepting challenges.

G.O.D. meets StarbucksIt may be diff icult to imagine a c rossover between G .O.D. and Starbucks, an international coffee shop. Yet, G.O.D. and Starbucks create the miracle together in the boutique coffee shop in Central and a café in Mong Kok featuring Hong Kong films. “The joint venture shows both genes and is a demonstration of local café culture 冰室文化 , bringing iced drinks to Hong Kong where east meets west. This leads to great curiosity. It’s 1 + 1 = 3.”, described Douglas. In this collaboration, both G.O.D. and Starbucks held their principles and this demanded lengthy discussions to reach the “integrated” outcome. To take the example of the coffee shop in Central, Douglas stressed the need to have a Hong Kong-style café with elements of “Hong Kong humour”, while Starbucks insisted on providing a comfortable and clean environment with quality products. The menu is a unique one and real crossover which cannot be found in other Starbucks – Starbucks coffee-flavoured pineapple buns and egg tarts, coffee paper cake... These special cafés are a success. “The cafés are widely reported by the

I a m d o i n g w h a t I like. I am keen and have the mission to design something to promote local culture and to change the society.

media. They are now tourist points. We have to produce a lot of souvenirs such as coasters and bags to meet customer demands”, said Douglas.

An Advocator of Social ResponsibilityG.O.D. makes efforts to promote environmental and social responsibility in its products without sacrificing style and design. “I want to do something meaningful and influential. We need to save the earth. Environmental protection and conservation are not to throw away the old stuff into the landfills – we should inject new elements and recycle”, said Douglas. That’s why the G.O.D. products are made of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials such as bamboo. Bamboo is not only environmentally friendly, but also has an Asian feel.

In addition, G.O.D. is actively involved in community development projects such as the G.O.D. x SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) project. The G.O.D. x SPCA project aimed to promote love for our local mongrel dogs and to increase the adoption rate of the mongrels. G.O.D. designed the Mongrel Adoption Centre in Sai Kung for SPCA. Using different inspirations from “Tong Lau” (tenement buildings built in late 19th century to the 1960s in Hong Kong), the interior was designed to capture the interest of dog owners by relating Tong Gau (local mongrels) to Tong Lau – both need preservation! The success of the project was such that the adoption rate of mongrels increased 30% in the period following the launch. As a dog lover, Douglas also adopted a mongrel dog. G.O.D. also produced a range of “DOG x GOD” products (including tees and mugs). A portion of the proceeds raised from the sales of these products go to the SPCA demonstrating the continued support and appreciation for their contribution to this cause.

We Decide Our FutureDouglas loves his business – he is someone fortunate enough to be supported by his family to turn his interest into a career and a business. In the initial years, he admitted that not everyone believed that he could make a business with G.O.D. Some people even laughed at his ideas and the name of G.O.D. 住好啲 . Yet with a strong belief and passion in what he is doing, Douglas has not given up and been pursuing his dreams till now. His motto “Delay no More” is what he insists – don’t think too much and act now to grasp the opportunity and to address the future challenges. His success has proved that his efforts and persistence has been worthwhile.

Douglas believes in “we decide our future”.

He encouraged young people to pursue their dreams and accept challenges when they are young, though they might be seen as “crazy” and “exaggerating”. Being followers would be easy and comfortable, but life may not be of colour.

If one decides his/her future, the path may be more difficult and it involves a lot of sweats. But at the end of the day, one will have no regret.

The interview will also be presented in the “Highway to Success” video. Stay tuned!

Let’s Raise Fund for JCI Nothing But NetsTo support the global campaign to fight malaria, the JCIHK set up a booth during ASPAC to seek donation for JCI Nothing But Nets. With the generous support of young active citizens, the JCIHK successfully raised around HK$11,000 in the fundraising activity. Let’s send a net, save a life!

Community Outreach Program “JCI Dragon Blind Soccer Asian Cup”Nearly 400 people participated in a Community Outreach Program on 9 June 2012. The project involved a group of blind people who overcame their physical disability, and after lots of hard work, have developed into a professional soccer team. In the friendly match, JCI members wore glasses to alter their eyesight and experience what the blind team players go through everyday. This public event allowed both players and the crowd to appreciate their ability to see and raised awareness of the need to support those with disabilities.

This year, I am very honoured to be the captain of the JCIHK Debating Team. It is my pleasure to have wonderful teammates, Megan Yeung and Jacob Ip. More importantly, we have a strong supervision, training and supporting team.

What I will never forget is the support of the audience. The cheers and applause from them have strengthened the team, and the championship belongs to everyone of us.

I am here to tell you my experience as a member of the Champion team representing Hong Kong in ASPAC.

Firstly, it was fun working with the team;

Secondly, through training, I get to improve my speaking and argumentation skills;

Thirdly, it is a great feeling owning the stage while delivering my speech;

Last but not least, our team debated against quality international debaters and made new friends.

To round up, I sincerely thank everyone for your support!

Let's support the Team to shine in the JCI Taipei World Congress.

We are the Championin JCI World Debating Championship in ASPAC!

As a new member from JCI Queensway, I am grateful to JCIHK for granting me the opportunity to represent Hong Kong in the JCI World Debating Championship in ASPAC.

Debate fosters ideas on what was not adopted as norm. For example, if peace is achievable, military spending would be cut in which inventions like GPS, jet engine, digital photography etc. may not have existed. The world needs balanced opinions.

I see this experience as a start to face future challenges. I am prepared and motivated to take up new opportunities in my career.

Living in Harmony with NatureIn order to live a harmonious life, we need a sustainable environment. Every year “Love of the Earth” raises awareness of the public to protect the environment of the community that we live in. This year “Love of the Earth 2012: Know Carbon, No Carbon” was organized on 20 May 2012 to promote a low-carbon life to over 100 university students, JC members and guests, aligning with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals: ensure environmental sustainability.

In the form of a treasure hunt, participants were required to complete tasks while consuming as little carbon as possible. Some of these tasks led them to visit places chosen in the “Love of the Earth 2011: Sha Tin Ten Green Scenic Spots Election”. Contestants measured their personal carbon emission with a carbon-footprint calculator and learnt how they could contribute by choosing what to eat and which type of transportation to use. At the end of the event participants shared with passion that they understood more about their carbon footprint and would take action to protect our beloved earth.
