Profile
Chengdu’s biggest international event, the Chengdu Holiday Bazaar is back this year for the 12th time. It will be held at Chengdu International School’s new campus in the heart of the city, on Saturday 24th November, from 10am until 4pm.
This family friendly day with music, silent auctions, kittens, great food and festive performances isn’t just a wonderful place to buy Christmas pressies, but also helps support really important causes in Sichuan province.
Previous years raised over 280, 000 RMB for local charities, and is a meaningful way to give back to the communities around us.
This year, all of the Holiday Bazaar’s proceeds will support:
Chengdu Aixin Social Service Centre
They provides a wide range of help and support to Chengdu children and teenagers, reaching out to youngsters in need as well as their families and communities. One of their key focuses is helping children with cerebral palsy through various activities, training and support offered to such children and their parents.
Hopeful Hearts
Hopeful Hearts is a Nanjing and Chengdu based organization which sponsors life-saving cardiac surgery for underprivileged children suffering from heart defects. Since its inception in 2003, Hopeful Hearts has helped more than 300 orphans and children from very poor families by funding some of the costs of surgery that families could not otherwise afford.
Hope Station
Hope Station serves children who are orphaned in Asia by raising up champions and caregivers who are motivated by love and equipped to care for their unique needs. They partner with local organizations and people to provide real and lasting solutions for vulnerable children through caregiver training, support for child care centers, adoption advocacy and support, and raising community awareness.
IDEAS
International Development & Educational Associates (IDEAS): Xide County Student Sponsorship – provides support to Yi minority children from financially struggling families and orphans as they advance into secondary and tertiary education, encouraging them to complete their high school education by reducing the economic burden on their families.
Save the date and bring along your friends and family to enjoy this great day in the Chengdu calender. All ticket proceeds will go to the wonderful charities, but if you would like to be more involved, there are many ways to help!
