Thanks to Partners

We owe enduring thanks to Mr MK Koo, the prime sponsor of our recent Charity Wine & Dine. Together with the California wineries Screaming Eagle and Harlan Estate, he and other donors have helped us raise millions of dollars to support our services.

Alert: control waste and clear our skies

Hong Kong has serious environmental problems. The Council for Sustainable Development has launched a territory-wide movement to fight them. Help by using with recycled shopping bags, fewer lights, less paper, lower air-conditioning. Our schools are passing on the message.
The younger we start the better.
Summer sports: a winning philosophy
Divac in China  

The Federation is running several recreational sports programmes this summer. There is the 4-day Divac Youth Basketball Camp which offers NBA skills training by well known players and coaches led by the famous Serbian All-Star, Divac. Later there will be a 2-day golf camp in Shenzhen organized with the Mission Hills Golf Club and featuring well-known pro, Cindy Reid.

While enrolling the participants we learned what motivates youngsters to sign up for camps like these, apart from the big names. The consistent answers are fitness, weight loss, fun and skills. Pleasing parents and impressing peers are part of it. Learning to work together, understanding how to deal with winning and losing are important too but they are not fundamental to motivation. Young people want to play well and they enjoy doing so if they are slim and fit. That often involves having the right coach so we look for the best people to partner us.

If you would like to partner us in sports programmes, please contact Katy or Marina, tel 3579 4560. To find out more, read Feature Story where there is some feedback from the Divac Children's Foundation and the Mission Hills Golf Club.
