Gig Lok Monastery

極樂寺位於屯門虎地屯富路屯安里、清涼法院東南，佔地2,800平方米，創建於1955年，己有50餘年歷史，寺廟以供奉五方佛為主。 據云，開山住寺智梵老法師畢業於倓虛老和尚在荃灣設立的華南佛學院，而倓虛老和尚早年曾在哈爾濱建有極樂寺，智梵老法師為紀念其師，故在屯門建寺時，亦取名極樂寺，以報師恩。 極樂寺之前所以供奉地藏王菩薩，蓋因智梵老法師幼年多病，祖母乃向觀音菩薩許願，謂如孫兒病愈，即送入佛門。 後來果然病愈，乃送往報恩寺出家。寺中的剃度師泉通法師為愛護這個新來的小沙彌，免被寺中十殿閰王的惡相嚇著，特以布蓋之，僅露出地藏王菩薩；寺中也常做地藏法會，故後來智梵老法師為報答祖庭之厚恩，也以供奉地藏王菩薩為主。

Splash Foundation Limited

Human Services

We believe everyone should have an opportunity to learn how to swim. It is a life skill that empowers and connects people. Teaching people to swim and to be safe around water is what we do. But why we do it is to share the joy of swimming with thousands of people who have never had the opportunity to learn. And for many, swim lessons are financially out of reach. That is a problem we wanted to address. So, in 2015 we started Splash, Hong Kong's only charitable organisation teaching people from under-resourced communities how to swim. We currently teach migrant domestic workers and local kids, ages 7-16 from low-income families including kids with special needs. Swimming is different from other sports. Our participants learn a skill that might save their life one day. But it's more than that. They also develop confidence in overcoming something that is scary at first and they join a supportive community, both of which impacts their mental well being too. Since 2015, we have taught nearly 3,000 people how to swim. Splash has created a popular and engaging 12 hour (1 hour per week) learn-to-swim programme, teaching water safety skills, propulsion and water confidence; 9 out of 10 people who start the programme complete the programme. Our curriculum is effective and efficient. At the end of the programme 88% of participants can swim 25 meters. We've trained 200+ volunteer coaches. The Splash Beginner programme focuses on mastering essential skills for water safety, water confidence, and basic forms of forward propulsion. Over the course of 12 instructional hours, our objective-driven lessons emphasize three key areas: balance and buoyancy, breath control, and calm, controlled movements. The curriculum follows a logical skill progression that makes learning to swim fun, manageable, and empowering. Many of our participants experience fears or anxiety about being in water. Others don’t exercise regularly. Some live in extremely stressful environments. As volunteer swim coaches, we see people flourish in and out of the water. Self-esteem increases as participants overcome challenges, learn a life skill, and become a ‘swimmer’. Physical and mental well-being builds as participants realise the water environment can be an oasis from the harsh humdrum of the city. The swimming pool becomes a place of joyful recreation. Horizons widen with many of our participants continuing to swim in groups at their local pools, competing in open water swim races, or returning to their families with a skill and knowledge to pass on to loved ones. Underpinning all of what we do is a sense of community. Splash brings people together, building bonds between people and giving our participants a sense of belonging. In a world increasingly divided, our work reminds us that young or old, Hong Kong Chinese, Filipino or Indonesian; we’re all just human and are not so different in a swim cap and goggles.
