Hong Kong, 8 October 2021 – Organized by Hong Kong Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF HK), a new experiential virtual fund-raising event “Discover, for every child” was held from 30 August to 22 September. ‘Play to help’ is the goal of the activity. Despite the disruption from COVID-19 pandemic,  participants were still able to join 9 innovative programs through mobile app, to get a taste of being a child again while helping children in need around the world. All donations raised from the activity (25 August to 5 September) will be specially allocated to help UNICEF “Haiti Earthquake and Rescue Emergency Rescue Project”, and the remaining donations from the activity will be used to protect the children and families who are affected by the pandemic around the world.
