Tribute To Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

On behalf of everyone at the Swansea Chinese Community in South Wales we are all deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We send our condolences and prayers to the Royal Family during this period of mourning.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was an inspiration and beacon of hope tor all ethic minorities around the world. Her commitment to world peace, equality and uniting people from all backgrounds and origins has created a culturally rich, diverse and thriving United Kingdom. The Swansea Chinese Community Co-Op Centre was very honoured to receive the Queen’s Award in 2005 for services to the community. Such recognition gives community workers purpose and energy to continue creating opportunities and bright futures for all those in need. We thank you again Your Majesty.

On a personal note, I was very fortunate to meet Her Majesty on a couple of occasions. I am forever grateful for her time and supportive words of encouragement towards all community, cultural and charitable matters. An exemplar human being, I’ve always admired her sense of duty, dedication to work, devotion to her country and the love for her family. In times of unprecedented change she remained a constant source of guiding strength throughout the years. She was truly an extraordinary person and someone we can all aspire to be like.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be ever missed but never forgotten, she will always be remembered as one of the most influential and loved sovereigns in British-Chinese history.

威尔士华人必看:错过这几项免费服务,您每年白丢几百上千英镑——钱和安全感正在悄悄流失!

医疗、居住与仇恨犯罪举报实用指南 在威尔士生活的华人朋友们,您是否曾经因为语言不通而不敢去看医生?是否因为不了解租房法律而吃亏?是否因为遭遇歧视或仇恨行为而不知道如何求助?这篇文章为您梳理威尔士政府《反种族歧视威尔士行动计划》框架下,与我们日常生活最密切相关的三大议题,帮助每一位在威尔士的华人了解自己的合法权利。 什么是”反种族歧视威尔士行动计划”? 威尔士政府于二零二二年发布了《反种族歧视威尔士行动计划》,目标是在二零三零年前消除公共服务领域的系统性种族歧视,覆盖健康、教育、就业、住房等各个方面。这份计划特别强调”反种族歧视”而非仅仅是”种族平等”——政府要主动检视政策、制度和流程中可能隐含的歧视,从根本上改变,而不是要求少数族裔去”适应”现有体系。 更值得一提的是,这份计划的制定过程本身就是一次突破。政府与威尔士各地的少数族裔社区及组织共同合作,让真实的生活经验成为制定政策的依据。正如计划联合主席所言:”这是一份代表我们所听到的社区声音的计划”。换句话说,这是一份为我们而写的计划。 第一部分:NHS威尔士医疗服务——语言不应成为就医障碍 看病时语言不通?这不是您的问题 曾经有一项针对威尔士华人社区的访问调查,多位受访者反映在NHS就医时遇到语言障碍。有人投诉翻译服务不专业、翻译不准确,甚至出现翻译员态度粗鲁的情况。更有甚者,在一些医疗机构中,儿童被用作家庭成员的翻译——这显然不应该发生。 请记住:专业医疗口译不是”特殊礼遇”,而是您受法律保障的基本权利。 NHS 111:一通电话,超过一百二十种语言 您知道吗?拨打NHS 111威尔士医疗咨询热线时,接通后只要用英语说明您希望使用的语言(例如说”Mandarin, please”或”Cantonese, please”),几分钟内就能接通在线翻译服务。这项服务覆盖超过一百二十种语言,包括普通话、广东话和客家话。NHS…
