Paint Against Women Illiteracy Charity Fun Day
Aide et Action'(AEA) hosted an art jamming event on 10 Oct 2010, "Paint Against Women Illiteracy", at CityWalk, Tsuen Wan. Over 300 attendees from local universities, tertiary institutes, design schools, high schools, primary schools and children centers showed up in the event. Actress Tse Suet-sum and her daughter Ka-wing made an appearance as ambassadors. Tse appealed to the audience, "AEA has brought quality basic education to underprivileged people in more than 20 countries and has started to organize literacy classes in China for a few years. I am honored to be their ambassador, to raise Hong Kong people's attention not only to children's schooling in China, but also keep an eye on illiterate women's needs."
Participants expressed their support through donations and also made efforts to create one art jam piece, based on one of the 500 Chinese characters taught in the AEA curriculum. The 500 pieces of finished paintings will be presented to the women of the literacy classes, with the hope of encouraging them to receive education which in turn will change their destiny and their children's.
