On this week’s Episode 5 of Driving Miss Daisy, we want to introduce Ms. Josephine Ma. She is a good friend for many years and is the Fund Director for Self- Help for the Elderly.
Our first interaction had been when she asked for lunch boxes for 800 elderly meals to be donated for a Walkathon fund raising event over 20 years ago. That was when Daisy had first been introduced to self- help for the elderly and from then on, Daisy became part of self- help for the elderly family as being a support partner for all their food needs. In 2015, Moonchef was created and became their senior Meal Cater for all their senior centers and participated in events for fund raising. Daisy is currently on their annual Gala Board.
Josephine has many talents other than being a Fund Director, she is a master at singing Opera. She started at the young age of 9, following her Master Law Yim Hing, who is a famous artist in Hong Kong that made over 100 movies during the 1960-70’s.
Josephine is a founder of “端鳳鳴劇團” (A Theatre Troupe). She has performed annually fund raising for Non- Profits out of the goodness of her heart and passion for the art. At any these performances, she was self-funded. This included the equipment, authentic custom-made dresses, shoes, hair, accessories, make-up, and stage setup. Amazingly she is also the Director for sound and lighting, music, and anything else to put on a great show for her audience.
Devoting her time and effort, she has supported the Chinese Opera Industry and instilled Chinese culture for all. To educate the next generation and anyone who has interest in Chinese Opera, by teaching. She has received many followers and students, she’s recruited volunteers, donors, and all professional Chinese Opera artists. She has flown them here, to a hotel and back home, out of her own pocket just to perform for the show she’d put together. Showing her appreciation to her followers and students by performing here, she would fly back to Hong Kong to support and perform there as well.
Josephine’s heart fell for the elderly, her giving back to community, and her involvement are such powerful messages we should all follow.
Josephine’s eyes will open, ears will listen whenever she hears or speaks of anything relating to Chinese Opera. When she on stage, she is not Josephine, she is the Character’s soul, they merge as “One”.
Thank you to Josephine for being a great friend and muse, our inspiration from her is “Follow your heart, do what you love no matter how hard it is or may seem. It will turn the impossible to everything is Possible “.
