HKBN and Kids4Kids Unite for "Books For A Cause"
April 01 2011 - 5:47AM
Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN), a wholly owned subsidiary of
City Telecom (HK) Limited (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL), is pleased to
announce our support for the Kids4Kids "Books For A Cause" drive.
HKBN and Kids4Kids share a common vision — we hope that our Kids of
today, with hands-on experience from driving meaningful projects,
will mature to be capable and responsible leaders of tomorrow.
"Books For A Cause" is an entirely student-led program by 13 to
17 years old Hong Kong Secondary School Student Advocates of
Kids4Kids. This 7-Day used book collection drive from May 30th –
June 6th 2011 has the objective of collecting as many used kids
books as possible to donate to the needy children in Hong Kong,
China and abroad. The message is simple — if you only donate one
used kid's book and everyone donates one at the same time, the
total number of books donated will be exponential. This project
also has a strong recycling theme as the books donated are
redistributed to be reused.
Annie Sin, Director of CSR, HKBN, "What a gorgeous program! We
are delighted to support this book collection drive especially as
it is with Kids in charge. Their actions truly show how they care
about the society and this effort should be spread worldwide to
influence more people's involvement. The books they collect not
only transfer the knowledge, as at the same time, it touches our
inner hearts to help the needy."
"This is an amazing opportunity for Hong Kong youth to be
engaged, lead and cooperate together for a better and brighter
future. Being involved in this project has made me believe that I,
as a student, can really make a difference in the lives of others,"
said Denise Wong, 16 year old student, Chinese International
School, and Kids4Kids Advocate in charge of leading the Books for a
Cause project.
