Beijing, China (October 26, 2007) /China Newswire/ — Care for Children will be holding an open day for their new Centre. The open day will be in the form of an English Village Fete. It will be a great day out for all the family with a barbeque, fish & chips, bouncy castle, shadow puppet show and lots of side stalls and entertainment.

The event is supported by IMI, Dulwich College, Shangri-la hotels & resorts and Northern Trust etc. Carol Xu from the main event sponsor IMI, said: the reason we support Care for Children is because we take very seriously our responsibilities to the local communities in which we operate. China is an increasingly important country for us. We are proud to help Care for Children to make that difference. Our Chinese employees are also extremely proud to work for a global company that is responsible and proactive in giving back to communities in China.

According to the vision of Care for Children's executive director, Robert Glover, the new centre will incorporate a special school and clinic for children with special needs. After ten years of working to improve the lives of thousands of disadvantaged children across China, the new Centre will enable Care for Children's work to develop further in new and exciting ways, providing assistance to some of the most vulnerable members of Chinese society.
