言教不如身教,來自教育界的國際培幼會「愛.女孩」大使──藝術教育家(芭蕾舞)廖本懷夫人──毛妹太平紳士與 JEMS Learning House創辦人及校長劉馬露明女士向來不懈栽植群倫,今年二人更鼓勵學生一同身體力行,支持協會的年度盛事「培您童行」步行籌款,藉此讓他們瞭解落後地區小朋友正面對的苦況,在關懷別人的同時,也學懂珍惜自己所擁有的一切。活動將於4月27日假西九龍海濱長廊舉行。

落後地區兒童深深明白「知識能改變命運」這道理,而為了上學,他們不惜克服重重困難。在「培您童行」活動當日,同學將有機會試試今年大會特別設置的多個體驗區,一嚐在發展中國家的小朋友每天所面對的挑戰。

「培您童行」步行籌款由國際培幼會於2012年首辦,過去兩年在社會上亦得到很大迴響,去年的參與人數更是首年的三倍!有見及此,今屆「培您童行」步行籌款將移施到新的場地舉行,讓參加者能有更多體驗,為活動增添更多富教育意義的元素。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。

國際培幼會「愛.女孩」大使廖本懷夫人──毛妹太平紳士說:「香港的孩子較很多地區的兒童幸福,在完善的教育制度下,除了享有十二年免費教育,也有能力根據自己的喜好參與不同類型的課外活動。可是對更多生活貧困的孩子來說,獲得良好的教育和知識可能只是遙遠的盼望。希望大家趁着是次機會,帶同孩子參與『培您童行』步行籌款,一同感受鄉郊兒童上學的崎嶇路,讓孩子更懂得珍惜自己所擁有的一切。」

除了積極鼓勵學生參與是次活動,早前國際培幼會「愛.女孩」大使劉馬露明女士更邀請丈夫一同為活動拍攝宣傳照,其熱心不言而喻。她分享:「任何人都應有同等機會追尋夢想,但落後地區的兒童卻只夢想能夠上學讀書。身在香港的我們有幸接受教育,我希望我們有能力幫助更多孩子擁有學習的機會。參與步行籌款不但幫助了寧夏自治區的孩子,亦同時教導香港的兒童關心他人及向別人伸出援手的重要性,希望大家也能一起支持!」

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。

Dedicated educators and Plan Because I am a Girl Ambassadors Mrs. Christine Liao, JP, Arts Educator (Ballet) and Ms. Christine Ma-Lau, founder and principal of JEMS Learning House are encouraging their pupils to participate in the NGO’s annual “Walk for Children” 2014. Both believe firmly that raising awareness of the plight of less fortunate children among their young students will help them appreciate their own good fortune as well as instil in them the desire to help others. The event will be held on 27 April at the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade.

As well as completing the Walk itself, the children will have an opportunity to experience for themselves some of the challenges facing their peers in disadvantaged communities. They will be able to try out the experiential activities that have been introduced for the first time this year. These will replicate a little the difficult circumstance in which underprivileged children struggle for an education to improve their future.

Plan’s “Walk for Children” has received tremendous support from the public since it first launched in 2012. Such has been the growth in numbers of participants, almost triple last year, that Plan decided to move to a new venue and to expand the experience with the new activity zones. 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.

Plan BIAAG Ambassador Mrs. Christine Liao JP said, “Children in Hong Kong are far more fortunate than those living in some other countries. With such a well-established education system, everyone is entitled to twelve years of free schooling and is able to join various after-school activities. However, this is rarely the case for poorer children in other countries. Receiving good education and knowledge can only be a dream. I hope you can take this opportunity to join the walk with your children, in which they will be able to experience what children in rural areas have to face daily and in turn learn to treasure what they have today.”

Aside from encouraging students to participate in Walk for Children 2014, Plan BIAAG Ambassador Ms. Christine Ma-Lau also invited her husband to the promotional photo-shooting for the event. She said, “Everyone should have equal opportunities to pursue their dreams, but the children living in remote areas can only dream about receiving education. We in Hong Kong are fortunate enough to have received education and I hope that we will be able to help others to receive the privilege of learning. Joining the Walk not only helps the children in Ningxia, China, but also teaches children in Hong Kong the importance of caring for others and lending a helping hand. I hope that you can support us!”

“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.
