		The tragic news of a teenage murder followed by a double student suicide is of great concern to us all. Such incidents point up the vulnerability of Hong Kong's young teens and as a youth work organization we urge all youth to seek help when they are distressed and need advice. Staff of Youthline 27778899 and our school social workers are on station, ready to offer guidance and convince young people that a brighter outlook can see them through life's dark episodes. Such positive encouragement can make a crucial difference before it is too late.

		*A hearty thank you* to the 173 schools which will run over one hundred volunteer service projects supported by the participating companies in the *Heart to Heart Project. We celebrated last Saturday at the Music Marathon, with Chief Secretary, Rafael Hui Si-yan, GBS JP as Guest of Honour. Our highlight campaign, "I am a Volunteer"* has drawn fantastic support with 880,000 volunteer service hours pledged for the coming year. Many thanks to all involved.
