Mrs. Purviz Rusy Shroff is Permanent Managing Director of Ruttonjee Estates Continuation Limited. She is also Vice-Chair of The Hong Kong Tuberculosis, Chest and Heart Diseases Association (formerly known as “The Hong Kong Anti-Tuberculosis Association”) which was co-founded by the late Mr. Jehangir H. Ruttonjee, CBE, JP in 1948. Mrs. Shroff was President of The Hong Kong Indian Women’s Club (HKIWC) from 1999 to 2002, and is still an active member of the Club. Since 1987, Mrs. Purviz Shroff has cared for more than 2000 babies and seen hundreds of children from Mother’s Choice find loving, permanent homes.

Mother’s Choice is a Land of Angels where Love, Hope and Strength reside, I am incredibly honored to be appointed as the Patron of Mother’s Choice, and I look forward to seeing more children grow up healthily, and seeing more families built through the gift of adoption. Mrs. Purviz Shroff

Ms. Cass Phang is a renowned singer who has released 33 albums since her debut album in 1990. She has received over 40 music awards, including some of the most prestigious local awards such as "The Most Popular Female Singer" by TVB, "Ultimate Best Female Singer" by Commercial Radio, and "The Best Selling Singer of The Year" by RTHK. In 2002, Ms. Phang played the role of Teresa Tang in the sold-out musical "Forever Teresa Teng", and she released her last album in the same year before becoming less involved in the entertainment industry to focus on building her own family. After ten years, she made an exception for close-friend Wyman Wong and made her latest public appearance as a guest singer at his "Concert YY" in 2012. Ms. Phang is married to radio program host and singer-song-writer Jan Lamb, who has also hosted numerous stand-up comedy shows. The couple have two daughters. Cass first got involved with Mother’s Choice by volunteering her time in the Mother’s Choice Child Care Home, singing for and playing with children with special needs.

At first it was just me singing alone, but the kids soon joined me in singing and dancing, and now I just don’t want to leave the room. Mother’s Choice fights for each child to join a forever family. As the Celebrity Ambassador, I wish to help Mother’s Choice raise awareness for children with special needs awaiting forever families. Ms. Cass Phang

Kit Ying Chan, a passionate advocate for the welfare of children, currently holds the position of Community Ambassador at Mother's Choice since October 2022. She played a pioneering role in the organization, starting as its first local volunteer in 1987, and eventually becoming its first staff member in 1988 after receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Guelph. Throughout her impressive career spanning over 35 years, Kit Ying has been unwavering in her commitment to supporting vulnerable children and young girls facing or at risk of facing crisis pregnancy in both Hong Kong and mainland China. She embarked on a mission to address the crisis of widespread baby abandonment in China's state orphanages and founded the groundbreaking "Guangxi-Hong Kong Mother's Love Orphanage", which was a joint venture between Civil Affairs Bureau of Guangxi and Mother’s Choice, in Nanning, 1995. Her book, Hidden Treasures: A Letter to the Children of Mother’s Love, offered a telescopic and powerful true story of this unique journey. Kit Ying continued in the capacity of Director of Services overseeing children, youth, and family services after returning Hong Kong in 2011, leading her team in providing life-transforming services, before retiring from being the Director of Community Services in September 2022, where she focused on encompassing Community Education and Volunteer Engagement. Embarking on a new season and adventure, Kit Ying now resides in one of Hong Kong's most vulnerable neighborhoods, further deepening her love and commitment to this city as she brings her vision of community hubs to life.

...My work was simply a continuation of those who came before me, I simply picked up the baton to continue the work of building a better future for the next generation. Ms Kit Ying Chan, Hidden Treasures: A Letter to the Children of Mother’s Love
