Natives, expats form charity bond

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 00:57:15 GMT

NATIVES and expatriates together enjoyed live music by the Buhao Boy’s Band, beer and food, had fun and got involved supporting the Sichuan earthquake survivors at the Muslim Restaurant at Zhouzai on Jiuzhou Avenue, Jida, Friday night. A total of 6,000 RMB ($857), including $100 and HK$100 dollars, were collected on behalf of the municipal Charity Federation for the disaster areas.
Auction items included two wines and two champagnes from Rudy Lu, a returned overseas Chinese who operates a restaurant; the first broken drumstick of the Buhao Boy’s, DVDs and a DVD player bought by Douglas Gillespie.

Live music, food, beer and beverage feted the charity enthusiasts from different parts of the world. “It’s nothing to do with whether you’re a Chinese person or foreign person. It’s nothing to do with whether you live in China or live somewhere outside China. We talk here about a whole area that has been destroyed. It’s like a global thing and everybody should give support,” Chris said.
“Everyone is talking about foreigners and Chinese people, like separating them as though they’re two different species. But it’s not. We’re all human. Humans help each other,” Marcus, 21, said.
“It doesn’t depend on how old you are or what your nationality is. It depends on how you were raised and how open-minded you are.” He illustrated how children in the kindergarten where he works offered to help the victims. When they heard there was not enough mother milk and infant formula in the disaster area, all the children went home and told their parents to do something. Then every child bought a milk powder box to the school and the teachers packed them up in huge boxes and sent them to Sichuan. “Even though they’re small, they got things they can do,” Marcus said.
Randal Martin, an American who instructs at Jinlu (Golden Road) Kindergarten, expressed compassion for the victims, saying: “I feel sad. The people really need help.” He said he would do something to make himself feel somewhat relieved. “You have to do it because of you -- your passion,” he said. He also expressed his wish to adopt a baby.
Yang Yuanyuan, who won the bidding for a DVD series titled Earth by offering $100, said: “It doesn’t matter how much it is worth. What matters is I can do something to help the victims in the earthquake-hit areas.”

Kingsleg Phillips, an Australian who outbid for a DVD series with 600 yuan ($86), gave the DVD to a friend right away and put six hundred in the collection box. “It’s not about what it is. It’s about what the money does and if one can get help,” he said. He said that when he learned of the disaster in Sichuan Province, he didn’t know what he could do. Now he felt relieved that this money would go to help Chinese families to rebuild their lives, he noted.
David, 69, said the earthquake is one of the biggest tragedies of his life. “The poor people can’t take any more -- dams broke, more aftershocks,” he said. Learning about the catastrophe, David rushed to the China Red Cross Society Zhuhai Branch to donate money on May 15, becoming the first foreigner registered to make donations in Zhuhai. He noted that he was absolutely amazed when he saw Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao staying to see something about a rescuer at the site where there would have been aftershocks at anytime. “He is a terrific guy,” he acclaimed, adding: “I’m one of his fans.”
A co-organizer of the charity event, Doug regretted that it’s a matter of fact that people do something together in a hard time. On the other hand, he felt it a good thing that something like this brings people together. “Unfortunately, there’s not much we can do,” he said.
“We’re brothers and sisters, and our help is needed,” Doug said. “We can be lucky that we don’t have the hardships. We can enjoy the nice meal. We go home to a dry bed at night. We don’t have to worry that we don’t have a tent,” he continued.
“I came to China, and China welcomed me. I have a job in China. I have a family in China. I have a life in China. Of course I’m connected to it. This is my community. Community is not where you work; community is where you are. So you have to take all of these things.”
For victims in the disaster areas, Doug said: “We have no choice, because life is going to go on with them and for us, and this is going to get all better.” There is going to be a lot of emotional and personal loss that can never be replaced, but life will carry on and people are going to rebuild, he noted.
Chen Ying, director of the Zhuhai Blue Angel Charity Community, noted that an increasing number of Chinese people are joining charity actions and that charity awareness has greatly improved over the years. “Charity deeds are rewarding and people get happiness in return,” he said.

Sichuan benefit

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 13:58:21 GMT

First of all, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to all who came in support of the cause and continue to show your care and concern for those affected in Sichuan.

The question was asked of me

"Why as a foreigner would you do something like this for the people in Sichuan [in a country not your own]?

My answer was quick and from the heart.

When I was living and working in Canada I gave a great deal of my time and effort to a couple of community organizations.

Now that I am living and working, and have a family in Zhuhai [China], THIS is where my community is.

As brothers and sisters we must help each other when we can, and when we must.

If that means giving time, money, or maybe just a simple prayer for hope it's a small gesture from us all that will give somebody a better outlook on tomorrow.

Cheers and thanks again

Last weekend

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:30:25 GMT

Well once again it wasn't just an ordinary weekend for the Buhao Boys last weekend.

"Ups and downs" aren't just for the bedroom anymore, man!

With Doug on the injured list and not able to get behind the kit,

Marcus was the man and stepped up to the plate doing a great job on the drums.

Then out of nowhere came another Buhao Boy

Joew (see band bios)

Definitely a class musician and a kindered spirit,

we hope to have Joe with us for a long time.

It was as though he had been drumming with the band for months

as he took us along through the second set Saturday night.

Welcome Joew! And thanks for the awesome video you sent... amazing!

Last Sunday (March 23, 2008) the Buhao Boys helped some 50 or so guests to wish the Tempest family, Doc, Janine and Luka, bon voyage to their new adventure in North Vietnam. Although it was sad to say good-bye, it was great to spend that last bit of valuable time with them. The venue, The Cellar, set a comfortable tone for the event and we hope we can return there again (but under a happier circumstance).

If you were in attendance that day and took photos please forward them on to buhaoboys@live.com so I can add them to this blog entry.

Third Rockin' Weekend at Live Bar!

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 01:05:01 GMT

For three straight weekends The Buhao Boys have raised the spirits of happy patrons of Live Bar as they raised their glasses and bopped to the groove. Last night (Saturday March 1), although scheduled as a night off, they took to the stage to a full house. As a special treat for those who burned the midnight oil, the musical combo Mark and Tim (of Junk fame) took the stage and didn't miss a beat. The place was jumping!

Special thanks to a fan from Friday evening (Richard) for taking some cool snaps and sending them in. Keep your eyes peeled here and on Expat9 for The Buhao Boys schedule. There are going to be some cool surprizes.... thanks to all!

Love,

The Buhao Boys

Introducing Tony Luk, the newest Buhao Boy!

Tony hasn't submitted a bio yet, but as far as

I'm concerned, his music speaks plenty on its

Own!

We were all really happy to have him on the

stage with us at Live Bar last night and we

hope to see him perform with us on a regular

basis.... perhaps tonight?!? :)
