Kids of all ages and sizes began to trickle into the area throughout the afternoon, eagerly glancing at all the booths and activities. The CMF booth gave out blank color-in butterfly cutouts with its website imprinted in the bottom left corner, so kids could personalize them and hopefully remember our organization when they return home. We also provided fliers, stickers, and donation boxes to further raise awareness of our cause. Later during the day, two interns currently involved with CMF introduced our sponsored programs and objectives to the crowd.

Other events ran during the day as well; there was a fashion show, spelling bee competition, photo booth, and raffle ticket lottery. The air was buzzing with excited energy as some of Hong Kong’s social elites arrived at the scene, including CMF’s Save-a-Baby Ambassador, Eileen Tung. Several photographers lined the room with professional cameras and media equipment. Then, the room was filled with endless laughter as the events began.
It was an incredibly enjoyable and informative experience for CMF’s workers, as we had fun raising awareness of our cause, learning about other charities, and working with the children who attended the event.
