CHI HENG FOUNDATION: Founded in 1998, the Chi Heng
Foundation is a charity registered and based in Hong Kong with offices in
Henan, Anhui, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. It is a non-government organization whose
programs are funded by private donors, business, and partner NGOs.
CHF primarily focuses on paying for the children’s education
and living expenses, making sure all funds are delivered directly to schools
and programs by our staff. CHF does not operate orphanages or foster homes.
Instead, local relatives often take in the children, allowing them to continue
to grow up in their native villages. To further decrease their sense of social
stigma and isolation, CHF places the children in schools that purposefully
integrate the orphans with children not affected by HIV/AIDS. These efforts aim
to give orphans a stronger sense of community and belonging.
FAZIOLI: Founded in
1979 by pianist and engineer Paolo Fazioli, the ultra-fine pianos are now
considered to be the pinnacle of what is being produced in the world of pianos
today. Showcase Pianos is the exclusive
dealer for Fazioli pianos in the Canadian province of British Columbia. http://showcasepianos.com
