I would like to invite everyone to a charity dinner organised by Malaysian Association in Guangzhou (MAG) and Guangzhou Singapore Club (SingClub) to raise funds for recovered lepers in Guangdong, China.
Date: Sunday, 26 April 2009
Time: 7pm
Cost: RMB 300/- for individuals, RMB 3,000/- for corporate tables.
Singclub and MAG, with guidance by Handa (an NGO, Not-for-Profit organisation focused on helping recovered lepers in PR China, www.handa-idea.org) have visited a Recovered Lepers’ Village on March 21, 2009. These recovered lepers, who are mainly in their golden years, are living on islands with very limited exposure to the outside world due to their aged bodies and extremely limited funds. These are the people who live close to us, but forgotten by society and live with barely satisfactory conditions.
With the hands-on experience and direct interaction with the recovered lepers, we felt the need to do more to help the less fortunate.
We are organising a Charity Dinner on 26th of April, 2009 at China Hotel, (a Marriott Hotel) in Guangzhou. Each entrance ticket is modestly priced at RMB300/-; a full course Chinese dinner will be served together with performances such as magic show, Kung Fu Martial Arts display, Hip Hop dance and an inspiring performance by our recovered friend. And as always, there will be free flow Tiger Beer and Murphy’s Stout.
We also have Corporate Tables, each priced at RMB3,000/- Your company logo will be printed on the stage’s backdrop with mention from the emcee of the night. This dinner is expected to gain attention and participation from local and expatriate executives and entrepreneurs from the business community in Southern China.
The purpose of the Charity Dinner is to raise funds for the recovered lepers village. The utilisation of funds is transparently elaborated here:
1. Protective Shoes
Quantity: 2,500
Unit cost: RMB 52
Total funds needed: RMB 130,000/.
2. Normal Wheelchairs
Quantity: 10
Unit cost: RMB 550
Total funds needed: RMB 5,500/.
3. Customised Wheelchairs
Quantity: 10
Unit cost: RMB 3,500
Total funds needed: RMB 35,000/.
4. Walking sticks
Quantity: 20
Unit cost: RMB 150
Total funds needed: RMB 3,000/.
The total funds needed is RMB173,500/-. We are far behind the total funds from entrance receipts alone.Hence, on the night, there will be auctions of paintings by recovered lepers and some other valuable items.
Let us do our best to help. By just coming to the dinner, you will help a group of forgotten and less fortunate senior citizens, most of whom deserve a pair of new shoes.
We hope to see you on the night. Do feel free to invite your friends, colleagues and loved ones to join us for a night to understand, relflect and do good.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Yu Junde (JD) on behalf of Andrew Ang, President of Guangzhou Singclub
