"Light
in the Life batttle" project
(Joint Function with the Prince
of Wales Hospital)
On
January 1st 2001, Camp Quality Hong
Kong held it's first joint function
with the Prince of Wales Hospital
called "Light in the Life Battle",
this function was held at the YMCA
in TST. The project's purpose was
to encourage and enhance the morale
of new cancer patients who are receiving
treatment by giving them an opportunity
to mix with cancer survivors who fully
understand their situation. In the
last 20 years, there has been a dramatic
improvement in the survival of childhood
cancer. It is hope that this type
of function will be beneficial to
both patients and families as well
as the medical staff since it hopes
to be able to offer words of encouragement
and sharing of experience.
This
event was a tremendous success with
just under 300 people attending the
function at the YMCA. Harry Wong ,
our mc for the day did an excellent
job in entertaining the crowds, the
patients variety performance also
went down extremely well and the climax
of the function had to be the TVB
variety show.
The artists sent by TVB did an excellent
job in entertaining the children with
lucky draws, games and sing-a-along.
