The 26th annual Used Book Recycling Campaign, co-organised by World Vision Hong Kong and AEON Stores (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., kicks off today (4 Aug) at Plaza Hollywood in Diamond Hill. At the opening ceremony, officiating guests Jessica Hsuan (宣萱), Akina Fong (方健儀) and BabyJohn (蔡瀚億) each donated a book for the charity book sale and shared how the books have inspired them.
Books donated by the public, including reference books, novels, travel books, leisure books, children’s books and comics, are available starting at HK$10. All proceeds will go to supporting the Tianjin Wuqing Children Rehabilitation Centre, enabling them to purchase new rehabilitative equipment, and provide training and special education for children with disabilities.
