在瞬息萬變的時代，家庭關係⾯對前所未有的挑戰。親⼦ 間的隔閡，往往不是因為缺少愛，⽽是缺乏理解與表達的 機會。
電影《爸爸》⾸映夜：沉默的⽗愛與破碎的親情
電影《爸爸》改編⾃真實社會案件，⼀位平凡的⽗親在家 庭悲劇後，如何在內疚與責任之間掙扎，試圖重新定義 「⽗親」的⾓⾊。這部電影讓我們看到，⽗愛有時是沉默 的，但並不代表不存在。影帝劉青雲在電影中的演出令⼈ 動容，他不刻意渲染，⽽是透過細微的神情與動作，讓觀 眾感受 位⽗親內⼼深處的拉扯與痛楚。

「超級‘爸’氣」：拆解⽗親的責任變連結 即將展開的「超級‘爸’氣」活動，設計 系列親⼦互動 挑戰，讓⽗親與孩⼦在合作過程中打破隔閡，從最初的距 離與尷尬，到逐漸在笑聲中建⽴默契。我們期待透過這樣 的體驗，讓更多家庭找回久違的親密感，讓⽗愛得以被看 ⾒與感受。

SHARPProgram：讓青年學會理解與溝通
教孩⼦學習如何理解與表達⾃⼰的情感，就是SHARPProgram的核⼼ 價值之⼀。許多青年在成⻑過程中，因為害怕被批評或不被理解，⽽
選擇封閉⾃⼰，導致親⼦關係進⼀步惡化。SHARPProgram透過體驗 式學習，幫助青年發掘⾃我價值，提升溝通技巧，學習如何與⽗⺟建 ⽴更健康的關係。
位參加者分享：「我以前 直覺得爸爸很兇，不敢跟他說話。但在 SHARPProgram中，我學到了如何⽤對⽅能理解的⽅式表達⾃⼰。」
這樣的轉變，正是我們希望帶給青年與家庭的改變。
AcrossU-hub祈願：跨越沉默，讓愛閃亮
《爸爸》這電影提醒我們，家庭關係需要被看⾒、被理解、被修復。
「超級‘爸’氣」讓⽗親與孩⼦重新建⽴連結，SHARPProgram則讓 青年學會理解與表達⾃⼰。
我們相信，每個年輕⼈都值得擁有健康的親⼦關係，每個⽗⺟都希望 與孩⼦建⽴更深的聯繫。在這個三⽉，讓我們 起思考：如何讓愛不
再沉默？如何在⽇常⽣活中，讓家⼈感受到我們的關⼼與陪伴？

In today’s fast-changing world, family relationships face new challenges The gap between parents and children is often not due to a lack of love, but rather a lack of understanding and communication.
The movie 'Papa' Premiere: Unspoken Love and Broken Bonds
Based on a true story, ‘Papa’ tells the story of a father struggling with guilt and responsibility after a family tragedy, forcing him to redefine what it means to be a father. Sometimes, a father’s love is silent, but that does not mean it isn’t there. Veteran actor Sean Lau’s moving performance conveys deep emotions through subtle expressions and gestures, allowing the audience to feel his inner turmoil.
Across U-hub invites audiences of all ages to attend the ‘Papa’ movie premiere night, and watch this powerful film. This film resonates in order to further discuss the role of fathers in modern families We hope that this conversation will encourage people to think about ways to end the taboo and improve parent-child interactions in real life.
Super Dad: From Responsibility to Connection
This upcoming event will feature fun and interactive activities designed for fathers and their children to work together. Through these challenges, they will overcome awkwardness and develop a stronger bond We hope this experience will foster family reconnection and make a father's love genuinely seen and felt.

SHARP Program: Teaching Youth to Understand and Communicate
Helping youth express themselves is the core idea behind the SHARP Program. Many young people struggle with self-expression, fearing judgment or misunderstanding, which only widens the gap between them and their parents. SHARP helps youth discover their self-worth, build communication skills, and develop healthier relationships with their families.
One SHARP participant shared, “I used to think my dad was scary, so I never talked to him. But through this program, I learned how to express myself in a way he understands ” These moments of realization are what SHARP aims to bring to more families.
Across U-hub’s Wish: Breaking the Silence, Letting Love Be Seen
‘Papa’ reminds us that family relationships need to be seen, understood, and healed. “Super Dad” helps fathers and children rebuild connections, while SHARP equips youth with the tools to communicate better.
We believe that every young person deserves a healthy parent-child relationship, and that every parent hopes to connect more deeply with their children. This March, let’s reflect together: How can we bring families closer? How can we show our care and presence in everyday life?
Across U-hub walks this journey with you breaking the silence and strengthening family connections.
The Power of a Simple Action
Neighbour in Need: Collection Drive
We are excited to share the incredible results of our Neighbour in Need: Collection Drive, held in January. In just one month, we collected over 700 lbs of clothing, hygiene products, and blankets, delivering 40+ bags to Dress for Success, Ve’ahavta, Good Shepherd Ministries, and The Salvation Army. Our volunteers played an active role in sorting, folding, and packing donations Beyond their efforts, this initiative sparked meaningful discussions and reflections. Volunteers gained deeper insights into the needs of vulnerable individuals, the work of local non-profit organizations, and mindful consumption
This drive not only supported those in need but also created an opportunity for volunteers to engage, reflect, and grow.
From The Power of a Simple Gift to The Power of a Simple Action
Today’s youth are increasingly driven to apply their learning in meaningful ways and make a positive impact in their communities. Building on the theme of “The Power of a Simple Gift” from last year ’ s Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Project and this year ’ s Collection Drive, Across U-hub is launching a new series of stewardship activities under the theme of “The Power of a Simple Action ”
