The innovative ideas you develop with the interns will greatly benefit the underprivileged in Hong Kong. Sunshine Action is a non-profit organisation founded in Hong Kong in 2008. Since our establishment, the charity has partnered with over 600 local centres and organisations across 20 countries including the USA, UK, and Hong Kong, helping over 300,000 individuals and poor families.
