Working at home is really a good idea for people who are living very far away from their workplace. This also saves time and money to travelling to the office and the company can save the money for rent and electricity because a physical workplace does not necessary to be there.
But this causes quite a lot of problems:
1. Working at home requires quite a lot of self-discipline since there are distractions at home and there is no control from the boss anymore, so people have to control themselves in order to work effectively.

I am working in Cartias as a part-time piano teacher. I always think that Caritas is an old-fashioned, traditional organization, but I found out that there is a Facebook page for Caritas Cheung Hong just a month ago!
The Facebook page is basically like any other Corporate Facebook Page. Caritas Cheung Hong is a Children and Youth Centre, so the page has quite a lot of activities going on and photos of different activities.
