Jeff Rotmeyer appears in a lot of photos wearing a shirt that says "Kindness Matters", a mantra that has become familiar to many Hongkongers thanks to his work. Rotmeyer has founded two organisations that work with Hong Kong's vulnerable populations: ImpactHK, which offers services to people experiencing homelessness; and Love 21 Foundation, which supports the Down syndrome and autism communities (see also page 134).
ImpactHK has grown to become one of Hong Kong's highest-profile charitable organisations, with more than 30,000 people volunteering over the years. And now, despite a rough start to the year, Love 21 has hit its stride. After a fire razed its original headquarters in February, the group is set to open a bigger centre in San Po Kong this month, which will allow Love 21 to support even more families-almost 100 of whom are on the group's long waiting list.
