Keep MJ alive Give children a chance

828讓MJ精神不滅 給貧困小孩希望

724第二次義演已順利完成，籌得的款額累積至今，已突破2 萬元。若按照救助兒童會的中國救助項目，鞋子一雙50元的話，則可以買到400對鞋，幫助400個家庭的兒童步上夢想大道！為了更發揮MJ力量，以及在他 生日時送上一份特別禮物，Dreamwalker將於828最後一次義演，讓更多人一齊參加，過一個別具意義的暑假。

有人問︰為何會在觀塘區義演？
因為MJ說，要到貧窮的地方去，關心有需要的人， Heal the world都有得唱。關心世界由關心社區開始，其實觀塘區貧窮狀況是全港最惡劣，當中有3,600多個綜援戶，是全港最多綜援戶地區。(新聞︰http://smartedu.singtao.com/yesterday/loc/0324ao11.html)

商場是聚集各階層市民的地方，而且這區有不少新移民或年輕家庭，推著嬰兒車的途人隨處可見，Dreamwalker希望用跳舞及唱歌去將MJ精神鼓勵他們。

有人問︰舞者捐款要多少？
捐 款多少隨心，不設限制。Dreamwalker認為捐款背後那種犧牲精神才最重要。有人捐一元，但那已是他的全部，有人捐1萬，但那可能是他擁有的一小部 份，最重要是問自己，我犧牲了甚麼，也要把那些錢變成捐款支持中國小孩？這筆錢對我有何重要意義？(MJ告訴你何謂金錢的意義︰詩集《Dancing the dream》:The boy and the pillow)

Keep MJ alive Give children a chance

Our second fund-raising charity show on July 24 was a successful blast. Together with our first show in June, we have received a cumulative sum of over 20,000HKD. Using the scale from Save The Children of buying a pair of shoes per 50HKD raised, the amount we received can purchase 400 pairs of shoes, which means we can help 400 children in remote China by sending them the shoes so that they will not need to walk to school barefoot anymore.

To continue Michael Jackson’s spirit, and also as a special gift for his birthday, Dreamwalker will have our final charity show on August 28. This will be a wonderful and meaningful way to spend your summer, so please do not hesitate to participate!

Question: Why are our 3 charity shows performed in Kwun Tong?
Michael Jackson once said, go to the poorer areas, reach and care for those who are in need; you can see the same idea in his “Heal the World”.
We must start from our very own community before reaching out to the wide world. In fact, the Kwun Tong district suffers from serious poverty: there are 3,600 families receiving government subsidies of Comprehensive Social Security Assistance, which is the top district with the most families living under government subsidies.

The mall is a place where people from all classes gather. There are also a significant number of new immigrants from Mainland China and young population, Dreamwalker wishes to encourage and show them Michael Jackson’s spirit and also our care through our charitable acts of singing and dancing.

Question: How much are participants required to donate?
Donation is completely unrestricted with no maximum and minimum limits. Dreamwalker emphasizes on the sacrificial spirit behind the donation, not the donation itself.

One donates maybe a dollar, but that already is all he/she has; one may donate ten thousand, but that can be only a very small portion he/she owns. Most importantly, ask yourself, ask what you have sacrifice to donate in order to help and support the children under severe poverty in remote China, and ask yourself what this money means to you and them.
(MJ’s book of poems tells you what money means: Dancing the dream :The boy and the pillow)
