For me, London is not a very strange city as I had spent two years there, but going to Mansion House to work for an event made me excited.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The reception was hosted by Sir David Brewer, the Lord Mayor of London. The site was grand and we received great support from the business community. When I led in my little media team, which was formed from a group of reporters representing the Chinese media in London, the venue became quite crowded.<\/p>\n<p>Sir David gave a short speech to start the reception and this was followed by a presentation from our executive director, Robert Glover OBE. Then people started to mingle and talk of people, and I joined the crowd. When I told people that I worked for Care for Children, everyone showed great interest and soon I received many questions on what, when, and how things needed to be done. I could tell that people really loved to get involved and to help. And when we exchanged business cards I saw that most of them were successful businessmen and senior executives.<\/p>\n<p>As I waited in the empty hall for my colleagues to get ready to leave at the end of the event I had mixed feelings. I thought about the children I had met in the countryside in China. The little primary school next to the green field in Guizhou when we visited a girl who lived with a foster-care family for two years; the village near Xi' an in which over 100 families had become foster-families; they all seem to relate to there. It seemed as if we were linking the rich and the needy, the adults and the children, in such a magical way. People in different culture can be so close.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking personally, that was a day when I had the feeling that my work was well respected and worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kay Zhang This was my first trip to London to assist in a fundraising event there, and one aim of the activity was to raise the profile of Care for Children in the UK.
