每年一度的國際培幼會「培您童行」步行籌款今年踏入第四屆,活動將於412假山頂道花園(山頂廣場外)舉行,誠邀公眾踴躍參與,籌集善款支援越南和非洲加納的教育項目,幫助當地兒童擺脫貧困命運。

自2012年首度舉辦,「培您童行」一直廣受本港市民支持,每年均有逾千位善心參加者攜手邁步,支持偏遠地區的慈善項目。繼去年「培您童行」成功資助中國寧夏回族自治區隆德縣的幼兒教育項目後,今年活動的受惠對象將會是越南萊州省的年幼學童,以及非洲加納的女童,培幼會將透過改善教育與提供培訓,助他們以知識改變未來。

萊州省是越南其中一個最貧困的地區,位置偏僻,基建及社區支援嚴重不足,幼兒教育設施更是極為缺乏。由於當地兒童多為少數民族,並非以越南語為母語,往往難以趕上正規小學的學習進度,因此今年「培您童行」的善款將興建一所配備供水系統和衛生設備的幼兒學校,以改善幼兒教育,讓266名幼兒直接受惠。至於西非加納的項目重點則是為800名女童提供教育及職業培訓支援,以打破當地社會的性別歧視,讓女孩重拾自身價值,幫助她們創造更豐盛、獨立自主的未來。兩個項目將會惠及約2,000名兒童及其居住的社區。

為了讓參加者親身感受落後地區兒童每天所面對的種種困難和挑戰,今年大會一如去年,現場將設有體驗活動,例如水桶挑戰、石卵徑等,為善事倍添樂趣和意義。大會更設有「最踴躍參與獎」、「最佳時間獎」及「最佳服飾獎」,鼓勵參加者以「村民」或「兒童」為主題的特色服飾出席活動,彼此競逐較量,贏取獎項。

國際培幼會行政總裁蕭美娟女士表示:「去年『培您童行』有賴大家踴躍支持,至今寧夏隆德縣的教育項目已經惠及26個社區內的833個家庭,改善當地幼兒教育質素,並為學童提供了安全的學習環境。至於今年所籌得善款將會讓越南萊州省的幼童得到類似的教育支援,更會投放到加納的女童教育項目上,讓更多兒童受惠。我謹在此衷心呼籲各位善心人士繼續支持和參與,期望412在山頂與大家見面!」

活動由即日起至2015312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(plan.org.hk)瞭解詳情或致電3583 3100報名查詢。

Join Plan International Hong Kong’s “Walk for Children” 2015

Being the annual fundraising highlight of Plan International Hong Kong, the 4th “Walk for Children” will be held on 12th April at Peak Road Garden (Outside The Peak Galleria). The event aims to raise funds for the education programmes in Vietnam and Ghana, lifting underprivileged children out of poverty.

Since it was launched in 2012, “Walk for Children” has received tremendous support from the public. Every year around 1,000 participants join the Walk to support Plan’s charity projects in remote regions. Last year’s “Walk for Children” has benefitted the preschool education programmes in Longde County in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China. Following the previous success, this year’s event will focus on helping 266 young children directly in Lai Chau, Vietnam and 800 girls in Ghana. By providing them with quality education, Plan aims at empowering the children to gain a better future via the power of knowledge.

Being one of the poorest provinces in Vietnam and obstructed by its inaccessible location, Lai Chau suffered from its lack of basic infrastructure and community support, especially on early education facilities. Furthermore, since many of the local children belong to ethnic minorities, Vietnamese is not their first language. They often find it difficult to integrate into formal primary education. The funds raised from this year’s “Walk for Children” will be used to improve early education by building a preschool equipped with proper water and sanitation facilities and a playground, as well as conducting teacher training and children’s rights awareness sessions. Meanwhile, the projects in Ghana in western Africa will offer education and vocational training programmes to girls, as a way to enhance gender equality within the community and enable girls to build their self-esteem. Around 2,000 children and their communities will benefit from both projects.

In order to let participants experience the everyday challenges faced by the underprivileged children, this year various experiential activities will again be available, such as “Water Bucket Challenge” and “Pebble Trail Experience”. In addition, participants are welcome to dress up in outfits related to the themes of “villagers” or “kids”, and compete for the “Best Dressed Award”, while they can race for the “Best Time Award” too, making the charitable event more fun and meaningful. The team with the most members will also be awarded the “Highest Participation Team” on the day.

Ms Kanie Siu, Chief Executive Officer of Plan International Hong Kong, encouraged the public to support the event, “Thanks to the fervent support we received last year, our educational project in Longde County in Ningxia has already benefited 833 families in 26 communities. Our work has helped improve the quality of local preschool education and offered safe learning environments to the pupils. The funds raised from this year’s event will be used in supporting similar practical programmes in Lai Chau, Vietnam, as well as educational projects for girls in Ghana. I sincerely call upon your support and look forward to seeing you all at the Peak on 12th April!”

“Walk for Children” 2015 is now open for enrolment and the deadline is 12th March 2015. Participants may enjoy this special day with family and friends. Please visit Plan’s website (plan.org.hk) for more details or call 3583 3100 for enrolment and enquiries.
