Feasting and fundraisingHot items at this year's charity live auction and silent auction include: luxury hotel stays, original artwork, restaurant vouchers, kids' activities, an eco-friendly stay at The Pavilions Himalayas in Nepal, and a tandem paragliding experience in Hong Kong.
"Everything you eat and drink at Lamma Fun Day also raises money for CWS HK and its life-changing work with children in Nepal," says event organizer Sonya Yeung of Bliss Creations. Fundraising stalls on Power Station Road include a licensed bar, food stalls serving dishes from around the world, amazing homemade cakes plus secondhand bargains at the bric-a-brac, clothes and book stalls.
Money raised at this year’s Lamma Fun Day will help fund CWS HK’s Child Friendly Schools initiative, which is transforming 48 schools in villages in western Nepal, over four years.
"Almost half of Nepal’s children drop out of school by the time they reach 15 years of age due to poorly trained teachers, a lack of resources and poor infrastructure. When a child drops out of school they become easy targets for human traffickers. The longer a child stays in school the less likely they are to be tricked and exploited," says Douglas Maclagan, founder CWS HK.
The Child Friendly School project makes school buildings and playgrounds safe, classrooms more appealing, provides extra teacher training and improves teaching resources.
"We also reach out to communities to involve parents and promote education, which increases the chances of children attending and staying in schools in these poor and remote areas," says Jake McCauley, CEO, CWS HK.
Please help CWS HK transform lives through education in Nepal - join us at Lamma Fun Day, Saturday 4th November for Lamma Fun Day!
