HONG KONG, June 22, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hong Kong Broadband Network Ltd. ("HKBN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of City Telecom (HK) Limited (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL), is pleased to announce our sponsorship for the reprint of the Kids4Kids' 2009 Books series, featuring the overall winning stories from its "Writing for a Cause" competition written by Kids in Hong Kong for Kids, with all proceeds benefiting local charities working with less fortunate children.
"Hong Kong's Kids today are Hong Kong's future tomorrow. We are proud to be working with Kids4Kids to inspire our Kids to be an active part of our community. At Hong Kong Broadband Network, we are working hard to make Hong Kong a more vibrant city by bringing pioneering technology to the community. We are looking forward to a bright future for us and our Kids to enjoy," Ricky Wong, Chairman of HKBN, said.
"In Hong Kong, our children often raise substantial amounts of money for charities but their engagement does not often go beyond fundraising," says Shirley Kuan of Kids4Kids, "By deepening our children's engagement with worthwhile causes, they become intimately involved and this will give them a lasting impact. In doing so, we are gifting our own kids by broadening their social awareness horizons."
