TAIPEI (November 9, 2020)— Children from ten schools in Taipei City and New Taipei City are going to
perform in National Concert Hall on November 26 at 7 p.m. in order to raise fund for the “Send Love to Africa”
campaign.
About 390 school kids from grades 1 through 6 will sing, dance and do magic tricks in front of an audience
of approximately 3,000 people in a 3-hour show, with children of each school presenting their part for 15 minutes.
Started by the Food Kangaroo Foundation, the charity campaign hopes to raise no less than NT$2 million
dollars for poor children in Africa who do not have enough food nor have money for school. In between each
school’s program there’ll be a short film telling the stories of these struggling African children.
“After we reach our fundraising goal, tons of rice, noodles, wheat flour, corn and canned foods will be
shipped to Africa in addition to funds by the end of December to feed and help as many local children as possible,”
said Linda Fang, the Chief Executive of Food Kangaroo Foundation.
Each participating school will send two students at most as the school representatives to visit Africa for ten
days during Taiwan’s winter break. “These children in Taiwan would have an opportunity to see for themselves
what the life of most African kids is like, and to share their experience with their classmates after they return to
Taiwan,” said Ruby Hu, Secretary of the Ministry of Education, which sponsors the trip.
