Management Districts Fill Gaps In City Service

Five Houston area management districts sent a letter to the Houston Chronicle last week to let the general public understand how all these districts have been working to enhance public safety, business opportunities and other forms of quality of life issues for several years.

When the coronavirus pandemic attacked our city, we felt more privileged to be a part of the helping hand.

As centers of Houston’s Asian population, the Southwestern District and International District have partnered with local civic associations to provide more than three million dollars worth of food, protective medical supplies and laptop computers to local residents, first responders and frontline health care professionals.

When Mayor Turner said we might have to cut some city services because of the shortfall in tax income revenues, this became a critical time when we could fill in for some city services.

Even though the whole nation is open for business, we still can’t effectively control the pandemic in some big cities because unemployment rate is so high. Plus, with police brutality being so prevalant, there is a lot of unrest in many of our communities.

We also want to express our appreciation to all our colleagues working in the different cities. Because of your sacrifice and hard work in the last three months, we have never suspended any issue of our newspaper. We are publishing daily and all those colleagues still have to come to the TV studio to broadcast news, and our pressmen still have to come to the pressroom every night to print and deliver the daily newspaper.

We are so proud that our team can be of service to our community and to the nation and let you be informed on what is going on around the world.

One day history will definitely record our stories. As the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, once said, “Do what you can with what you have where you are.”

社會責任關懷社區

------ 我們始終堅守新聞最前缐

德州休斯敦地方五個區區長日前投書休斯敦紀事報，向市民闡述在新冠疫情時期我們如何幫助市政府爲市民服務，投書中指出，各區市民有感于市政府之服務不足，各區在商家之共同支持下，在加強警力、整頓市容、增加市民服務做了大量工作，就以過去兩個月來，爲了籌措捐款近叁百萬元，支援醫護人員捐贈各種醫療用品，爲貧困兒童購買平板電腦，送午餐給前線救災人員，舉辦各種聯邦貸款講座，這些服務都讓市民得到即時援助，文中更提到華亞裔群聚的西南區及國際區，更是積極動員加入救災行列。
