Later, she moved to Shijiazhuang to the north and then Changsha in central China. When Pam received job offers in Shanghai and Shenzhen, she chose to move to Shenzhen, preferring the lifestyle options made possible here by the fair weather, good air quality and proximity to Hong Kong.

Q&A

How did you become an active member of the communities in Shenzhen?
P: I have been an avid member of various Shenzhen communities since arriving in May 2016. I first got involved when I found out about other foreigners doing animal rescue work. Through that, I met the founder of the former Shenzhen event company Love, Shenzhen. Through Love, Shenzhen, I became co-organizer of the Shenzhen Health and Wellness Fair from 2016 to 2018, working closely with Vista-SK International Medical Center and getting to know many of the figures spearheading healthy-living products and services for English-speaking Shenzheners.

Pam's picks

Global Friendship
Guided by three pillars - education, society and culture, and community - Global Friendship builds meaningful connections between foreign and Chinese nationals with various lively meetups.
Global Friendship is one of the organizations I met through the health and wellness fair. Because of our shared passions for social good, I hit it off immediately with the leaders Fabiola, Rochelle and Patrick.
Global Friendship events include documentary screenings, personal and business development workshops, foodie nights, holiday/festival networking events, and charitable and environmental activities and initiatives. I actually had the honor of leading an event with Global Friendship in Shenzhen last year. We screened the documentary "The Mask We Live In " about gender and toxic masculinity.
Founded in 2014, Global Friendship has been working hard to build a meaningful and sustainable community in South China. In 2018, Global Friendship brought this mission to Shenzhen. Shenzhen events are held every month. With every event, Global Friendship makes positive impacts on the Shenzhen and Guangzhou communities. Global Friendship is really for people who are open-minded and curious, and like to learn, develop themselves, give back to their community and take part in diversity.
