TUNBOW Group first sponsors "School Famine"

TUNBOW Group first becomes the event sponsor of "School Famine" by cash and product donations to arouse public concern about the pressing issues of global hunger and poverty, and food scarcity.

Since 2002, School Famine was cooperated by World Vision, The Hong Kong Award for Young People Schools operating Authority and the executive committee in various schools, aiming to broaden students’ horizon and train their leadership.  About 300 students and teachers voluntarily went without solid food for 24 hours on Mar 2 to 3.  One of the objectives is to inspire students’ reflections on life and to establish their identity as a global citizen. Through role-playing and experiential activities, participants will better understand the needs of the hungry people struggling for survival every day.

We hope that participating students can have the opportunity to get a taste of the everyday life of impoverished children in different nations.  Hence, to encourage them to treasure the resources they have and be helpful to everyone in the globe.
