THESE FIGURES GIVE AN INDICATION OF THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR THE CHEST'S HELP.
+THEY SHOW THE WARMTH AND CONCERN OF THE PEOPLE WHO RESPOND SO GENEROUSLY TO OUR APPEALS, SHE SAID.
LADY YOUDE STRESSED THAT EVEN THE BEST ORGANISED AND PUBLICISED CAMPAIGN COULD NOT SUCCEED IF THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG WERE NOT WILLING TO SUPPORT IT.
+ I SHOULD LIKE TO PAY TRIBUTE TO ALL OUR DONORS, TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED ANY OF OUR PROGRAMMES OR JOINED IN ANY OF OUR CAMPAIGN EVENTS, OR ENCOURAGED OTHERS TO DO SO BY SPONSORING THEM.
+TO ALL THESE MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EXPRESS OUR WARMEST THANKS FOR THE IR SUPPORT, SHE SAID.
THE CHEST - LADY YOUDE SAID, PLAYED A DUAL ROLE ON THE ONE HAND IT RAISED FUNDS, AND ON THE OTHER IT ALLOCATED AND DISTRIBUTED THOSE FUNDS.
+THE TRUST OF OUR DONORS IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET, AND IT IS OUR AIM TO SERVE THEM BY DOING OUR UTMOST TO ENSURE THAT THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE USED TO THE BEST ADVANTAGE IN OUR COMMUNITY, + SHE SAID.
