    Cindy Ng says: Hello,

    We have children's books that you might be interested in.

    We are Kids4Kids, a non-profit organization based in Hong Kong. Our latest project is "Books for a Cause", where schools, organizations and corporations around Hong Kong will take part to donate, sort and pack second hand childrens' books to be redistributed locally, China and the rest of the world via our supporting charity partners, Crossroads Foundation and Chi Heng Foundation. The plan is to recognize this citywide team effort in demonstrating the "Power of our Hong Kong Youth" - doing good, feeling good and looking good.

    We would love to discuss in detail with you if you would like to be a recipient of the books. Please send us an email if you are interested or have any questions or comments.

    Look forward to hearing back from you!
