First Gold Charity Fund has sponsored the "Spring Charity Walk
for Children" organized by World Vision Hong Kong for three consecutive
years. This year, World Vision Hong Kong continues its fundraising event in a brand
new virtual way to overcome the geographic restrictions. Therefore, First Gold
Charity Fund actively supported the new concept “Limitless Edition”, enrolling friends
from all over the world to participate in this meaningful event such as Hong
Kong, Taiwan. The nine-day event attracted more than 300 participants, giving a
memorable and fruitful ending for the event.
In the Closing Ceremony and Prize Presentation, World Vision Hong
Kong awarded a certificate of appreciation to Mr. Victor Tsang, the
representative of the First Gold Charity Fund, commending the First Gold
Charity Fund on actively supporting charitable events and helping the underprivileged
communities under the COVID-19 pandemic. “Sometimes if we take the initiative and
go one step further, it will not only bring warmth to those in need, but also act
as a role model to others, just like our charity fund's vision that taking the lead
to do good deeds," said Mr. Tsang.
Under coronavirus pandemic, event provided a more flexible way of
participation. Participants could choose outdoors or indoors sports activities based
on their personal preferences and circumstances. Although the activity method was
different from the past, there was no hindrance to the participation and
support from the warm-hearted persons. During the event, participants completed
a target number of steps which was equivalent to six kilometers through
different exercises to experience the life of Afghan children who have to walk
long distances to fetch water every day. The funds raised from this event will
support World Vision Hong Kong in providing water conservancy facilities, food
security and livelihood improvement in Afghanistan, assisting the families and
children who have lost their livelihoods and homes due to adverse environmental
conditions to rebuild their lives.
