Company Overview
We are a group of people who are passionate in life, in stage arts performance. We hope to use performance arts as a platform to communicate with the youth in grass-root level. We walk and grow with them in order to enhance their life quality and to groom them to be the future leaders.

我們是……
一班熱愛生命、熱愛舞台藝術的工作者，期望以表演藝術作為與基層青少年溝通的平台，陪伴他們成長，與他們同行，藉此提升青少年的生命素質，造就未來的青少年領袖。

Objectives
- provide free training in music and drama and provide opportunities of performance for the youth so as to help them find out the correct life direction, to build positive attitude and qualities such as perseverance, hardworking, etc. While they can emit positive energy, it is expected that they will bring this positive energy from the stage to their real lives.
- through group learning (such as band rehearsal and drama rehearsal), peers can learn from each other. Life quality of "Servant leadership" is expected to form among them.
- accompany the youth to visit grass-root level families and homeless people in order to train them to serve people, to care of the community, to extend the teaching of Jesus of "Love your neighbors" and to experience the spirit of "helping people help themselves".

目標
• 為青少年提供免費的音樂、戲劇訓練和安排舞台表演機會，從而協助他們尋找正確的人生方向，培養堅毅、勤奮等積極的處事態度，好使他們發放生命的正能量，並將這股能量由舞台上帶進人生舞台。
• 透過群體學習（例如「夾Band」、排戲等），朋輩間互相服侍，塑造青少年人「僕人領袖」的生命質素。
• 帶領青少年定期探訪社區的基層家庭，讓他們學習服侍他人，關懷社區，延伸耶穌基督愛鄰舍的使命，體驗助人自助的精神。

Background
We believe that every single youth should be given opportunities to whole-person development and to explore his/her interests in various areas so that he/she can understand himself/herself and to develop personal potential. However for those youth growing up in poor families, they cannot participate in appropriate extra-curricular activities due to limited resources so that they lose chances to expand their horizons and to develop their potential. Hence their growths are hindered.
For this reason, we hope to provide opportunities to learn arts (music & drama) free of charge for the youth from grass-root families. Love of Christ is shared through this service.

成立背景
我們相信，每位青少年都應該得到全面成長和發展多方面興趣的機會，好讓他們從而認識自己，發掘個人潛能。然而，對於家境清貧的青少年來說，由於經濟條件的限制，往往無法參與適當的課外活動，因而失去擴闊視野和發揮潛能的機會，窒礙他們的成長。
因此，我們希望能為基層的家庭及青少年帶來免費學習藝術的機會，造就他人，並藉此表達從基督而來的關愛，傳揚福音。
