2023 was the 20th year of collaboration between the ISSE Hong Kong and the South China Normal University in Guangzhou. Sixty postgraduate students from three Chinese provinces participated for two years in an online monthly SSEHV training conducted by the ISSE Hong Kong. Starting in 2020, during the COVID-19 restrictions, the students shared their experiences and insights in a chat group with teachers who had participated in SSEHV projects over the years. After a long suspension of bhajans due to the pandemic, the Sai Bhajan Group commenced its in-person weekly bhajans. The group has also restarted its service activity.

In April 2023, the SSE Wing joined forces with the Buddies in English and Educare program at Sharon Lutheran School, aiming to enhance English skills and foster love for God through nature. The month also witnessed the SSSIO volunteers orchestrating a tree-planting event and a clothes collection drive for the homeless street sleepers, demonstrating their commitment to environmental and social causes.

Two Medical Camps, held in May and June in collaboration with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, focused on health screening for ethnic minorities and cervical cancer prevention for South Asian women.

As part of the Community Adoption Program of the SSSIO, the Young Adults and Ladies Wing in Hong Kong spearheaded food and clothes collection drives, providing much-needed support to refugees awaiting resettlement overseas. The initiative also included weekly yoga classes for physical and mental well-being.

In June and July, two Mental Well-being workshops were held, one facilitated by a Sai devotee and the other by a young adult, for holistic care.

A voluntary tutorial support program was initiated for refugee youth in Mathematics, Science, English, French/Spanish, or any other subject from Year 8 to IB Level.

The Devotional Wing presented Swami’s writings from the Vahini series titled Sandeha Nivarini in a slide show after bhajans for a better understanding of Swami’s teachings by the devotees. In October 2023, the Service Wing resumed its activities at a home for mentally challenged adults, which had been suspended for over two years due to the pandemic.
