Golfers Swing into Charitable Action

2002/10/01

The 200 or so pupils at a remote Hebei Province mountain school will benefit from the inaugural Tenbridge Consulting Charity Golf Day at Beijing Country Club, Shunyi, on Friday, October 25. Wolong Sleeping Dragon Primary School in Shidu, established by Doreen Huang of UNESCO Beijing (see Beijing This Month, September 2001), will receive the proceeds of the tournament. Pupils from impoverished Wolong village qualify for the school if their parents' per capita income is less than 450 yuan.

A spokeswoman for Tenbridge Consulting, a British financial advisory company, said: "As part of our commitment to China, we are actively involved in supporting local charities to help underprivileged children. We will raise money for the school at the golf day through sponsorship of holes and an auction of donated prizes. We are, however, still looking for more sponsors because we hope to raise about 20,000 yuan to cover school utilities such as heating, water and other things for a year."

Tenbridge Consulting chose the Wolong school because it views education to be the basis for sustainable development. More information about the school can be obtained from Doreen Huang at d.chn-huang@unesco.org; Tenbridge Consulting contacts: Tony Webb, Mark Moss or Steve Russell on tel: 8580-1755.
