'Come fly with us' - Beijing Gala Ball, Saturday 22nd November

Last Saturday marked the European Chamber's first ever Beijing Gala Ball. The theme was the celebration of the centenary of the first powered flight.
300 guests boarded the flight EU22 and enjoyed inflight entertainment all through the evening. A delightful dinner complemented by Spanish wines, amazing prizes were up for the lucky ones at the lucky draw, the band TREND and our DJ Diccon made us dance in the sky and last but not least the “Pernod Ricard Cocktail Lounge” kept the passengers  refueled thanks to Bob’s secret potions.
The European Chamber would like once again to thank the sponsors who helped us making this evening the success it was: Airbus, Amadeus, Grand Millenium, Pernod-Ricard and Air France and KLM as well as the Lucky draw gifts providers.
We are also very proud that the charitable Lucky Draw and Silent Auction enabled us to collect around 38,000 RMB, which goes to “The Children of Ningxia”.
The Children of Ningxia is a charity organisation whose purpose is to promote the access to education for the children of Ningxia. Its actions comprise the provision of scholarships, the improvement of the school environment and the promotion of an improved level of teaching.
It reconstructed an elementary school in the village of Liumiao, which was on the verge of collapse, and partnered with the Hong Kong International French School, whose students bring educational materials needed by local schools every year. More recently, the Children of Ningxia organization started working on improving the level of teaching, by offering teacher training and higher salaries. Over the next few years, the Children of Ninxgia aims to extend its activities from the current 20 villages to 1 additional village per year.
If you wish to have more information on “The Children of Ningxia”, please visit www.childrenofningxia.org or contact Laurent Peyrot Laurent.peyrot@childrenofningxia.org
We look forward to the Gala Ball 2009!
