Candle of Vision – Dawnbreak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYZbs0e4oTA

Welcome to the Annual Charity Concert 2015, hosted by ICPASS. For now, let us refer to the host using that acronym, but in case you are interested, they come from Imperial College London and wholeheartedly hope to strengthen the attitude and values among students as part of promoting public awareness and social service. This time, the focus is on the issue of eye care, global blindness, and the honourable work carried out by ORBIS, the beneficiary for the Concert.

Yes, all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to ORBIS. But this is a Concert after all, so what do you get?

Well, the experience is priceless. Candle of Vision - Dawnbreak
Four youths, represented by the four seasons. Their story will be weaved right before your eyes, follow them on their intriguing trip of self-searching, and perhaps you will find a piece of yourself in them as well. Many influential figures will appear along the ride, passing on their message and teachings through the universal language of music.

SUPPER MOMENT will make an appearance, along with the enthusiastic choral group GREENERS’ SOUND. International award-winning pianist, violinist, composer and conductor JOHNSON LEUNG HOK KIU will grace them with his mastery of the piano. UK-based 5-piece punk/soul band ANIMAVIVA will bring their different and unique touch, contrasting local talent SIDICK LAM who claims that if we ‘give her a guitar, she will sing till the world ends’. Finally, coming from the same place as the host, the IMPERIAL COLLEGE ENSEMBLE will tie it all up and bring the Concert home.

Join them as they venture towards the light. At the crack of dawn, what awaits them beyond the horizon?

Cycle for Millions 2015 - 12 April, 2015

Organised by Pok Oi Hospital the Pok Oi Cycle for Millions 2015 will be held on Sunday, 12 April 2015. Now in its sixth year, over 6500 cyclists are expected to participate in this year’s ride which will be held on Stonecutters Bridge and pass through the Nam Wan Tunnel.

The ride route is approximately 13km, starting on the Tsing Sha Highway. Participants will ride through Nam Wan Tunnel and onto Stonecutters Bridge. Passing the turning point on Ngong Shung Road, riders will then return to Tsing Sha Highway and hit the finishing line.

Pollution permitting, the route across Stonecutters Bridge – the world’s second longest cable-stayed bridge – offers a magnificent view over Rambler Channel, while riding through the Nam Wan Tunnel offers something new.

The Pok Oi Cycle for Millions 2015 is the biggest cycling event in Hong Kong with participants divided into two categories – individuals and corporate teams. As it’s a charity event and money talks those raising a significant amount of donations will be rewarded with gold, silver or bronze ‘awards of donation’. Awards will be also given to the best dressed participants and those with creatively designed bicycles.

Enter online at www.cycleformillions.com on a first-come-first-served basis. The minimum entry ‘donation’ is $680 for individuals and $28,000 for teams.
