COMMUNITY CHEST WORKS QUIET WONDERS

THE HELP OF THE COMMUNITY CHEST AND THE GENEROSITY OF HONG KONG PEOPLE TOGETHER ARE WORKING QUIET WONDERS ALL OVER THE TERRITORY, MRS PATTEN SAID AS SHE LAUNCHED THE CHEST'S 1993/94 FUND-RAISING CAMPAIGN.

ONE GIFT HELPS TO PROVIDE LOVE AND CARE FOR AN ABANDONED BABY, TEACHES A NEW SKILL TO A SPASTIC PERSON, AND RESTORES DIGNITY AND SELF-CONFIDENCE TO A FORMER DRUG ADDICT, SHE SAID.

IT ALSO SUPPORTS A FAMILY IN TIME OF CRISIS AND MAKES PERSON FEEL USEFUL AND LOVED, SHE ADDED.

STRESSING THAT A GRANT FROM THE CHEST WAS NOT SIMPLY A GIFT OF MONEY, MRS PATTEN SAID: "IT IS ALSO AN EXPRESSION OF SUPPORT, OF UNDERSTANDING AND CONCERN.

HONG KONG PEOPLE HAVE DONATED MORE THAN $965 MILLION ΤΟ THE COMMUNITY CHEST. IN THIS 25TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR, THE $1 BILLION MARK WILL BE PASSED.

THIS YEAR A RECORD TARGET OF $150 MILLION HAS BEEN SET, AN INCREASE OF ABOUT NINE PER CENT OVER LAST YEAR'S TARGET.
