國際培幼會「培您童行」步行籌款2014如箭在弦 Photos: http://www.seedland.hk/press/plan/2014/6/ 著名導演張堅庭先生及英皇鐘錶珠寶有限公司主席楊諾思女士將鼎力支持即將於4月27日舉辦的第三屆國際培幼會「培您童行」步行籌款,並呼籲大眾積極參與。小時候曾接受過協會幫助的國際培幼會大使張堅庭先生,一直不遺餘力支持協會的活動,更曾與兒子一同到陝西進行探訪,真正實踐「傳愛.全心」的精神。張堅庭的愛心不只傳給下一代,亦感染了其妻子。楊諾思女士自2010年起擔任國際培幼會「愛.女孩」大使,在過去四年亦讓英皇珠寶成為「愛.女孩」活動的贊助商,讓更多貧困女孩受惠。今年夫婦二人將攜手與家人一起參與「培您童行」,期望能集結群眾力量,改寫發展中國家兒童的命運。 國際培幼會大使及前受助人張堅庭先生說:「記得當年母親獨自帶着我們幾個孩子從內地來到香港,國際培幼會讓我能夠上學讀書。十歲那年,我被傳染了沙眼,要做小手術,否則有機會盲眼,如果沒有國際培幼會為我支付手術費,我可能已看不見這個世界。國際培幼會給予我很大的支持,令我深切體會到團體力量如何改變一個貧苦家庭的命運。因此,現在我亦肩負起回饋社會的重任,希望呼籲更多人支持這項善舉──請參與4月27日的『培您童行』步行籌款!」 國際培幼會「愛.女孩」大使楊諾思與丈夫共同進退,她表示:「人生的路上,我們都曾經接受過大大小小的幫助,才成就今天的自己。我與丈夫的想法一致,將會全力支持國際培幼會的『培您童行』步行籌款活動,希望能呼籲更多有心人,一同幫助中國寧夏回族自治區有需要的兒童,讓他們也能擁有一個充滿希望的明天。」 去年「培您童行」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。而今年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。 今屆「培您童行」將移施到新的場地──西九龍海濱長廊──舉行,內容亦將更富教育意義、更難忘、更好玩!大會將首次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。 活動由即日起至2014年3月27日接受公眾報名,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。 特別鳴謝: 關於Plan國際培幼會「培您童行」步行籌款 關於Plan國際培幼會 協會於50個發展中國家進行兒童發展計劃,服務遍及非洲、亞洲及美洲,並在全球21個國家及地區設立捐助辦事處。香港捐助辦事處於2009年7月成立,然而培幼會與香港的淵源可追溯至50年代,培幼會曾在這裡設立援助辦事處近15年。當時名為「Foster Parents Plan」的培幼會曾幫助近12,000名兒童及其家人,而大部分為來自中國大陸及鄰近地區的新移民。 發稿:Plan國際培幼會 代行:一口田有限公司 有關傳媒查詢,請聯絡Mr. Robin Tang(3583 3233或robin@seedland.hk)、Miss Heidi Lam(3583 3310或 heidi@seedland.hk),或電郵plan@seedland.hk。
For Immediate Release 13th March 2014 Alfred Cheung, Cindy Yeung and family fully committed to supporting Photos: http://www.seedland.hk/press/plan/2014/6/
Plan Ambassadors renowned film director Mr. Alfred Cheung and Ms Cindy Yeung, Chairperson of Emperor Watch and Jewellery, together with son Justin have got behind Plan’s “Walk for Children” 2014 as a family unit to participate in the event to be held on 27th April 2014 at the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade. Their hope is that many more families and individuals will join them to help raise funds for education programmes in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China, particularly early childhood education services for pre-school children. Mr. Cheung’s stalwart support of Plan springs from that most personal of reasons – as a young boy, he himself was once a beneficiary of its sponsorship programmes. He said, “I remember my mother taking me and my siblings to Hong Kong all by herself many years ago. It was Plan that provided the school fee, allowing me to receive an education. When I was unwell, Plan would pay for me to visit the doctor. At the age of 10, I developed an infectious eye disease but fortunately Plan helped me by paying for the operation. “Plan provided me with enormous support, granting me insight into how the power of the general public can easily change the entire destiny of a poor family. Now it’s my turn to give back and to make a difference in the lives of other families.” Inspired by his story, his compassion and his example, Alfred’s wife Cindy Yeung and his son Justin have also joined forces to support Plan, the latter travelling with his father and the organisation to Shaanxi in China to see for themselves the conditions endured by the children in impoverished communities and the opportunities to help improve that through sponsorship. Four years ago, shortly after Plan returned to Hong Kong to set up its office, Cindy agreed to become an Ambassador for Plan’s Because I am a Girl (BIAAG) campaign, rightly identifying it as a cause that she, and the company she chairs, Emperor Watch and Jewellery, could wholeheartedly support – helping underprivileged girls who would otherwise languish at the bottom of society, disregarded and abused. She commented, “Along the road in life, each of us will have more or less received help from other people. That’s how we’ve come to be what we are today. I share the same thinking with Alfred. Both of us will fully support Plan’s “Walk for Children” and I sincerely hope that more people can join us and grasp the opportunity to alter for the better the plight of children in Ningxia, China.” 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. Funds this year will replicate that effort in Ningxia. Participants in this year’s Walk for Children will also be able to experience for themselves a little of the hardship that children in Yunnan and Ningxia face by trying the experiential activities that have been specially devised and incorporated into the event. “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 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.
