Last Friday, the OneSky Hong Kong Gala took place inside the JW Marriot Hong Kong, where guests partook in a night of celebration, unrestricted funding and charity. Initially founded in 1998 as “Half the Sky”, the now re-named OneSky is an NGO organisation that designs and implements affordable, replicable model programmes to help communities and caregivers unlock the vast hidden potential of the world’s vulnerable young children in Hong Kong, China, Vietnam and Mongolia.
Guests of the gala celebrated one truly incredible achievement – the upcoming opening of the PC Lee OneSky Global Centre for Early Childhood Development in Sham Shui Po. The centre will take the NGO’s mission to help “hidden children” to new heights by offering the local community a place for early learning childhood development, while also acting as a local community drop-in centre. Working closely with the government and key stakeholders, the centre will train caregivers, thus reaching thousands more children right here in Hong Kong, as well as across all OneSky programs.
Thanking attendees for their continued generosity and support, CEO and Founder Jenny Bowen addressed the gala crowd with gratitude, expounding that their help has allowed OneSky to touch the lives of children in not only in Hong Kong, but in China, Vietnam and Mongolia. Other highlights of the OneSky Hong Kong Gala included live and silent auctions, where a considerable sum was raised thanks to the generous supporters and prize sponsors that evening.
