著名藝人歐倩怡及唐寧攜同至親鼎力支持「培您童行」步行籌款2014,並呼籲大眾積極參與,將「傳愛.全心」的精神傳承予下一代。身為國際培幼會大使,二人曾跟隨協會遠赴中國陝西省淳化縣,及後唐寧更參與前往越南崑嵩省,探訪偏遠地區的兒童。已為人母親的兩位大使,體驗過當地孩子的貧困生活後感觸良多,更積極參與協會舉辦的籌款活動,同時亦攜同家人一起參與,期望能集結群眾力量,改寫發展中國家兒童的命運。

「培您童行」步行籌款2014將於本年427西九龍海濱長廊舉行,今年參加者將有全新的體驗,大會特地於步行路線上精心設置多個體驗區,讓參加者瞭解並感受落後地區兒童每天所面對的種種困難和挑戰──或赤腳行走陡峭崎嶇的道路,或在昏暗無光的環境下讀書。活動所籌得之善款將會支持協會於中國寧夏自治區的教育項目,透過修建學校、改善教學設施及提供教師培訓,同時改善鄉郊地區學前幼童的教育。去年活動所籌得的善款已投放在培幼會於雲南的教育項目上,於當地修建三所幼兒學校,並提供教師培訓,受惠兒童足達三百名。

國際培幼會大使歐倩怡說:「當香港的父母正在討論如何讓孩子在學校更進一步的同時,世界上有些兒童原來正為基本的生存而奮鬥,而這邊廂的孩子卻看不見、摸不到其他同齡小孩所經歷的種種困難。除了希望能幫助這些無助的孩子外,我亦想把我的所見所聞和感受,跟我的子女分享,把愛心傳承給下一代,最重要的是讓他們學懂如何體諒和幫助別人的精神,因此我將會帶同家人一起參加今年的活動。」

國際培幼會大使唐寧曾目睹協會於其他地區的工作,見證貧困孩子的生活如何得到改善。
她表示從越南之旅回來後,看到家中純真快樂的兒子,更加感到無限感觸。她回想起曾經探訪一個早已失去父親的九人家庭,八個小孩全由媽媽獨力養大,生活極之艱辛,糧食不足造成長期困境,她表示:「知識之於香港的兒童唾手可得,但對於在落後地區的貧苦兒童,知識是何等珍貴的寶藏,甚至比一錠黃金還要貴重,唯有獲得良好的教育和知識,他們長大後才有能力幫助自己及家人。我和兒子將全力支持『培您童行』步行籌款,希望大家也能踴躍參與!」

 

活動由即日起至2014327接受公眾報名,歡迎參加者攜同至親參與,一同歡度愉快又別具意義的一天!有興趣人士歡迎登入國際培幼會網站(www.plan.org.hk)瞭解詳情或致電3583 3100報名查詢。

Renowned artists Cindy Au and Leila Kong and their families will support the “Walk for Children” 2014, to be held on 27th April 2014 in West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade, and they call on the public to pass on the love to the next generation.

Their decision to participate as families has been informed by their direct experience, as Plan Ambassadors, of the conditions endured by local children in Chunhua County in Shaanxi Province, China whom they visited together. Leila has also visited local children in Kon Tum Province, Vietnam. As mothers, both felt particularly sympathetic to the children living under such appalling circumstances and have ever since worked closely with Plan in calling for action. Their hope is to harness the power of the masses to help re-write the destiny of many mainland Chinese pupils.

For the event this year, Plan has specially designed experiential zones in which participants will be able to raise awareness of and experience something of the challenges and difficulties that underprivileged children in undeveloped areas have to face daily, for instance, walking on rough and rocky roads with bare feet and studying in a dark environment.

Cindy said, “While parents in Hong Kong continuously discuss how to make their children improve at school, there are other children that struggle simply for survival. The children in Hong Kong cannot see or feel the plight of others, nor can they realize how lucky they are. Other than helping these little children in distant areas, I also hope to pass on my vision, knowledge and feelings to my son and daughter, so that they inherit the spirit of understanding and helping others. Therefore, my family and I will join the Walk this year!”

Funds raised will directly support education programmes in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China. This project will increase the quality and accessibility to early childhood education services for pre-school children, and will include school block construction, equipment upgrades and teacher training.

Donations last year built and equipped three pre-school classrooms and provided teacher training for the organisation’s pre-school education programmes in Yunnan, China, benefitting 300 children in total. The opportunity to alter for the better the plight of children in other similar regions is given further perspective through Leila’s eyes.

She revealed that ever since she returned from Vietnam and saw her happy little son at home, her heart has been filled with sorrow. She recalled that during the trip, she visited a family of nine who had lost their father long ago. All eight children were raised solely by the mother and their lives were obviously extremely difficult as they lacked even the most basic food.

Leila said, “Knowledge is at our fingertips but for those who live in poverty in faraway regions, it is the most precious treasure of all – even more valuable than gold and diamonds as it is the key to happiness. It is only when they receive quality education and knowledge, that they can rescue themselves and their families from the never-ending struggle. My son and I will fully support ‘Walk for Children’ 2014 and I sincerely hope that you will too!”

“Walk for Children” 2014 is now open for enrolment and the deadline is 27th March 2014. Participants may enjoy this special day with family and friends. Please visit Plan’s website (www.plan.org.hk) for more details or call 3583 3100 for enrolment and enquiries.

About Plan International
With 77 years of history and headquartered in the UK, Plan International is one of the world’s leading development organisations focused specifically on children. Plan supports more than 1.5 million children and their families, and indirectly supports a further 9 million people living in sponsored communities. Programmes focus on making real, positive, and lasting improvements to quality of life in the areas of education, health, environment and livelihood, as well as helping children realise their full potential within societies that respect their rights and dignity.

Plan works in 50 developing nations across Africa, Asia and the Americas, and it operates fundraising offices in 21 countries. The Hong Kong fundraising office of Plan International opened in July 2009. However, Plan’s relationship with Hong Kong reaches much farther back, to the 1950s, when it operated a field office in the territory for some 15 years. During that time, and under the name “Foster Parents Plan”, it helped nearly 12,000 children and their families, mostly new migrants from the Mainland and around the region. More information on Plan International Hong Kong, including details on how to make a difference, can be found at www.plan.org.hk.
