The Chow Tai Fook Charity Foundation (the Foundation) has recently donated HK$1 million in support of the "Public Health Train-the-Trainer Project in China’s Rural Communities" initiated by the Collaborating Centre for Oxford University and CUHK for Disaster and Medical Humanitarian Response (CCOUC) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).

Officiated by Mr Peter Cheng, Chairman of the Foundation, Professor Francis Chan, Dean of Faculty of Medicine of CUHK and Professor Emily Chan, Director of CCOUC, a cheque presentation ceremony was held on Friday, 17 October 2014 to commemorate this meaningful collaboration. Mr Koo Tong-fat, Director of the Foundation and Ms Sharon Chow, CEO of Wu Zhi Qiao (Bridge to China) Charitable Foundation, also attended the ceremony.

In his welcoming address, Professor Francis Chan expressed his gratitude to the support and generosity of the Foundation, and their recognition in our disaster and medical humanitarian initiatives. With the donation from the Foundation, the Centre will provide professional and systematic training programmes to participants of the Wu Zhi Qiao project. The Public Health Train-the-Trainer Project, which is expected to last for two years, aims to promote public health and effective disaster prevention measures in remote villages and communities in mainland China.

Mr Peter Cheng gave much valuable advice and encouragement to team members of the Project at the ceremony. "The Chow Tai Fook Charity Foundation will continue to collaborate closely with CUHK in bringing love and care to the communities and people in need," said Mr Cheng.
