Hong Kong Family Reunion 2024
On a rainy summer day in Hong Kong, the Mother’s Choice family gathered on June 1st for our first in-person Family Reunion event, reconnecting and celebrating our vision and mission. Despite the stormy weather, hundreds of individuals—from volunteers and adoptive and foster families to our girls, staff, and supporters across multiple generations—united as one vibrant “family”.
The concept of “family” holds profound significance at Mother’s Choice. When we unite as one big family, something remarkable occurs. We support each other, celebrate our achievements, and stand together through challenges.
This gathering also provided an opportunity to honor Alia Eyres for her incredible 12 years of service as she transitions to a new role at the end of June. We were joined by Ranjan Marwah, one of the co-founders of Mother’s Choice, who expressed his pride in Alia’s leadership.
“I have to say, it is this relentless optimism that has consistently marked the past 12 years of our incredible CEO, Alia Eyres,” said Andrew Gardener. “She is leaving behind an organization that is more passionate, supported, impactful, and innovative than the one she joined in 2011.”
We also welcomed Sky Siu as the incoming CEO. “Sky brings 17 years of experience in the social care sector. She shares Alia’s vision and passion for families, and we are confident that Mother’s Choice is in great hands,” said Joseph Wan.
At Mother’s Choice, our definition of family is grounded in three core values: we stick together, we forgive one another, and we love each other. By embodying these values, we can face challenges together and support one another.
Yet, amidst these challenges, there is a powerful reality: hope. It is the reason Mother’s Choice exists and the driving force behind our tireless efforts.
