| In
the Community |
| |
| One
of Kids' Gallery's primary aims is to encourage
our students, staff and friends to support those
children in our local community who are less fortunate
than the children who attend classes at our centres. |
| |
| To
this end, through the generous voluntary donation
of extra time and work by our dedicated staff and
other supporters, we have over the years been able
to support many local charities. |
| |
We
are proud to have been awarded the status of "Caring
Company" by the Hong Kong Council of Social
Service, again in 2006. This
award, first presented to us in 2005, is in recognition
of our enduring efforts in caring for the community
and commitment to corporate citizenship, and
is thanks to the ongoing dedication and hard
work of our staff, students and their families,
and the charities with which we work. |

| In
the past, through our previous productions and exhibitions,
we have been able to help the following children's
charities: |

November 2003, we were delighted to be the recipients
of the Public Spirited Trophy at
the Matilda Sedan Chair Race on the Peak. The trophy
recognised the team that provided the most entertainment
to the public. Dressed in gorgeous Grease inspired
outfits and running with a sedan chair disguised
as a bubblegum pink Cadillac, our team made a huge
impact on the day, entertaining other contestants
and the public alike with their fun antics! Kids'
Gallery also participated in the children's bazaar
by organising a fabulous wall mural and arts and
crafts table for the enjoyment of young and old.
All proceeds raised were donated to the Matilda
Sedan Chair Race Charities Fund that
helps small local charities. |
