Selling Salt & Rice at HH Hospital

salt-rice_g.jpg

Yes, we’ll be selling at HH Hospital.
No, HH stands not for Hamburg,
But for Haven of Hope in Hong Kong.

Got to know that we could sell there,
When desperately at a loss,
Right after dear Aunt had passed away.

And met this ultra-friendly social worker P,
Who spent her after-working hours
To discuss with me fair-and-healthy foods.

And so I got to know about this place,
A place I trust when Aunt was still alive,
A sanctuary for grieving over her and selling goodies alike.

Yes, we’ll be selling our goodies at Haven of Hope on June 5th,
Among which, new arrivals:

Natural Sea Salt & Red, Pink, Purple Rice
