Law Lok Lam said,”Every year, they will mark their calendars to eat dinner with me for my birthday, and then go to a bar–we would drink until morning if I don’t have to work the next day. That year, we went to a restaurant and suddenly the lights went on…I saw over 70 people singing happy birthday to me. My eyes suddenly filled with tears. I saw my friends, old neighbors from Kowloon City, scriptwriters and directors, and my daughters’ friends whom I’ve known since they were three years old….”
Among the group of guests was Ada Choi (蔡少芬), whom Law Lok Lam developed a close friendship with after portraying her father in an early drama when Ada first entered the industry.

She was struck by the institutional failures that the disease and the systemic response highlighted locally, nationally and globally. She ultimately decided to address such issues in her own way. “I thought a lot about how my friends and family and people I don’t know in Richmond, around the country, and around the world were doing,” Ms. Lam says. She also spent time thinking about “how the pandemic exposed the ways that governments and institutions deny people their right to live in dignity.” Ms. Lam was encouraged to reach out to NRC Fulton by friends who volunteered with the nonprofit organization, which works to improve the lives of more than 500 families through education, employment and nutrition programs. Ms. Lam was a volunteer with NRC Fulton before joining its board of directors in 2021. Today, she helps shape the group’s advocacy as evictions and rent increases displace many of Richmond’s underserved citizens. “As the socioeconomic make-up of Greater Fulton changes, many former residents who may benefit from our programming have been pushed east and we want to reach them,” Ms. Lam says, adding that community members in east Henrico County face a lot of the same issues.” As board president, Ms. Lam is leading NRC Fulton amid a three-year strategic plan centered on expanding the group’s geographic reach, donors and partnerships. This growth will allow NRC Fulton to provide support to its staff and the community.
