This is a long overdue letter of congratulations and thanks in relation to your sensational Star Factor event held on 19 June this year. I was incredibly impressed not only by the talent that the event showcased but also by the professionalism of the organisation and the production itself. I cannot say I was altogether "surprised" however, as I have come to expect excellence in everything you and Kids' Gallery deliver!

Ginny and I would like to thank you for including us and our daughters on your VIP guest list for this event. We all enjoyed it immensely.

First of all, thanks for teaching Thomas. More importantly, thanks for changing Thomas - from a shy and lack of confidence boy to somebody willing to speak up.

Thomas went to the Speech Festival and we were glad to see him completing the whole presentation smoothly and confidently.Though Thomas did not win a prize from this competition, he won something even more valuable - self confidence.

Again, my heartfelt thanks! Yours sincerely,

Mrs Ng, mother of Thomas, 8

I saw your wonderful art display last week at Times Square close to where I am now working.Wow, was my whispered comment! It is spectacular, creative and cheerful! What a terrific splash of life for Hong Kong from talented children who are under your wings!
Congratulations. Warm Regards,

Kirby

Thank you so much for giving the children such a wonderful opportunity to exhibit their work, and to give to charity. We appreciate all the effort that must have gone into this endeavour, and look forward to doing it again!

School's Great ... the Show's Great! This was indeed a wonderful show on 29 May. The excellent script, the beautiful ballet dancers, the chorus, the fabulous costumes and most importantly, the great performance by the kids...Thank you for selecting Tsz Yan as Teresa the Turtle. She enjoyed the show so much. She made so many friends and learnt a lot. This really was an unforgettable night to both Tsz Yan and me. I appreciate all the effort in making such an event. Thank you once again to all the staff at Kids' Gallery!

We recently hosted an "Under the Sea" kids party for my 3 year old boy Bennett at Kids' Gallery and it was a huge hit! All the parents raved about your staff and facilities. I would like to thank namely Wendy Ip and teachers Amy, Deirdre and Emma for their upbeat attitudes and attention to party details. It was a relief for me, while in my last weeks of pregnancy, to leave things in their capable hands!

Finally I'd like to appreciate the rest of your staff. Bennett has been enjoying Kids' Gallery since he was 20 months or so. Extra kudos to Ben and his art staff for the projects are fantastic. The programmes are interesting and above the quality of other programmes available in

Hong Kong. Keep it up!

Thank you for helping me prepare for the Trinity Examination. You have definitely increased my interest in Shakespeare's compositions (and my historical knowledge!) Looking forward to having lessons with you again.

Without your support and remedial lessons I would not have achieved 86 marks and a Distinction!
