The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China has successfully hosted its Sixth Annual Charity Gala Dinner, themed "Touch an Orphan's Life", in Beijing.
The event was organised in partnership with China Charity Federation, EU-China Managers Association and Operation Blessing.
This year the event raised over RMB1.5 million, a considerable improvement over last year's total. This was a result of the European Chamber's continued policy of donating all post-expense profit directly to the beneficiary charities.
Recipients this year are Operation Blessing who provide life saving surgeries; Bethel House, a foster home for blind orphans, who receive care and are educated to lead independent lives; and Braille Without Borders, a Tibetan charity, who care for blind orphans and teach specialised Braille in their local language.
